“The adult studies program, and its emphasis on creating an adult learning environment, was designed so brilliantly. It offered us an opportunity to fit higher education into our already busy lives, giving us flexibility and manageable tasks.”
Cheryl Hanson

“[My success] is all because I went through those two programs at SNU that gave me what I consider a very well-rounded view of gerontology and the family systems."
Nikki Buckelew
BS in Family Studies and Gerontology graduate and MS in Counseling Psychology graduate
“I chose SNU for a few reasons. They offered something a lot of other colleges didn’t. They offered a place where I could go to school in the evening times, after work, and still be able to complete my degree in a reasonable amount of time. When I saw the VETS Center on the website, I immediately gave them a call.”
Stephen Sharp
BA Organizational Leadership graduate
“The model of prayer, and having devotionals, and having teachers that are available — a chaplain that is available at your leisure and is there to help you with your own self-care as an adult — definitely helped sway my decision toward SNU."
