Val Bishop
I feel that I want to tell the world that this is what I’m doing and to say to people to try it yourself. If I can back to learning at 75 with Arden, anyone can whatever their age. I would have to say you owe it to yourself.
— Val Bishop, Arden University
Detloff Rump
The course material was well structured and straightforward, making it easy to understand. I have found myself working through the modules and taking on additional reading about specific topics that interested me – that was fun.
