“At ACU, I found academic success, spiritual growth and a call to love the works wherever I lived. I learned to love different countries, cultures and languages which led me on a journey of international living for almost 10 years. But ultimately it brought me back to ACU to work at a place I love with students and colleagues I love.”

“For me, choosing to get my master’s degree in counseling psychology at ACU was a no-brainer. This was primarily due to two reasons. First was the relationship with my professors. At ACU, like they say to prospective undergraduate students, students have the opportunity to build a genuine relationship with professors both in a professional and personal context. Additionally, I was impressed with the quality of education ACU’s program provided. To date, I have experience and education that even rivals my supervisors.”

“ACU has a great online program, there was no second guessing on where I wanted to get my cybersecurity certificate. The discount helped make this program more affordable. I am a mother of two girls and this program gave me the flexibility I needed!” 

 

Audrey Janssen

Psychology, B.S. ‘21, Counseling Psychology, M.S. ‘22

I chose to stay at ACU to complete my master’s degree because it offered an accelerated path to graduation while allowing me to continue the relationships I had built during my undergraduate years. Throughout my time at ACU, I developed meaningful connections with professors and staff who deeply influenced my academic and personal growth. Continuing those relationships in graduate school helped me transition smoothly into the program and quickly strengthen my professional skills. Their support was invaluable during what was a challenging and demanding season. I also appreciated knowing that my professors approached our coursework from a Christian perspective, which gave me confidence that I would graduate not only with the skills needed for my field but also with the ability to integrate my faith into my professional work.”

“Staying with ACU was an easy decision because not only was it a rigorous program, but I was also challenged to think about how my learning could positively influence the people around me, particularly as I wrestled with leadership development in a rapidly changing and complex world.  I was thrilled after I learned about the tuition discount for alumni and grateful that ACU sought to value their alumni’s commitment to higher education. Twenty years after my first visit, I’m grateful for my ACU experience that shaped my story to make a difference in the world.”
