Rockford University has given me the opportunity to do it all. While juggling a family of six and working full-time, going back to school to finish my degree did not seem possible. But with the right program at Rockford University and excellent staff, I CAN do it all. Thanks to the accelerated business program at RU, I am now on the right track to finishing my degree.
