-Megan Warshauer"I found Fairleigh Dickinson University while searching for a program that would allow for me to take asynchronous classes in an online format. This way, I didn’t have to worry about finding child care or missing class on a sick day, but I could still place a major importance on my education. After the first week of classes, I knew I made the perfect decision.
This program has really reignited my excitement for learning. The curriculum is balanced so purposefully with coursework that is focused on promoting social justice and bringing about social change, with and on behalf of clients. And the faculty: I’m continuously impressed by their passion for teaching, their devotion to the field of social work, and the dedication they show to their students."
