Current MHA Student & Licensed Long-Term Care Administrator
I selected Upper Iowa because of the online program and flexibility that it offers while operating two long-term care facilities and still enjoying life. Upper Iowa's advisors and professors have all been great to work with, answering questions, encouraging growth, and understanding that, as a non-traditional student, flexibility is a must.
