Nicole Freeman is currently working toward her B.S. in criminology through Coker’s online program. “[I chose online] for the convenience more so than anything,” says Nicole. “I have a three year old, I work eight to five, and I’m a single parent, so trying to find someone to watch my child while I went to class at night...it was just going to be more of a struggle. So I said, if I can do it online and have that convenience then let’s try that...I wanted to try it and see if I liked it, and I do. I love it.”

“Online learning continues to grow in popularity and Coker College is meeting the demand,” says Coker College President Dr. Robert Wyatt. “The flexibility and convenience of an online degree coupled with Coker’s unique approach to student and faculty collaboration and engagement make it a great option for working adults balancing a variety of commitments.”
