Flexible program paves way for success

BSAD alumnus
Cathy Kressel and her daughter
Cathy Kressel has always wanted her career to be meaningful, challenging, and stimulating. This need drove her to continue her education. When she began to explore her options for a bachelor's degree while she was working on her associate's degree through UW Colleges, she knew she needed a program that would be flexible and a degree that would help her advance in her career.
