“Unity gave me the ability to just go out into the world. Especially with Distance Education, not to be confined to the classroom, and actually put my knowledge and education to work. So I was actually out in the community doing stuff, while I was learning and actually applying the curriculum hands-on immediately.”

“Distance Education it’s not that expensive because it’s online. So you don’t have to pay for room and board or anything, so you can work full time. My classmates were fun. Even though we talked virtually, it was still fun. Classes are 8 weeks so it’s not like you’re taking a 16-week class. So you’re able to get your degree relatively quick.”

“So going fully online through Unity was one of the best decisions I ever made. In my undergrad, I was on campus full time and I worked a million jobs while also being a full time student, full time athlete. So going online through Unity was one of the best decisions I ever made. Just because working full time and being a full time student, it does take a lot.”

Unity has helped me by coming to me and giving me the freedom to travel and giving me the freedom to still work and own a business and be a woman and still live my life freely while chasing my education.”

“Unity allowed me to work full-time while also going to school full-time I didn’t have to try to choose between making a living and going to school I liked how Unity doesn’t necessarily have a set schedule of you have to go on to a zoom class at a certain time it allows for a lot of flexibility in your life.”

I am beyond grateful for the help that your concierge gave me so I could keep pursuing my dream of higher education. When other colleges told me “Sorry, there’s nothing we can do, money problems are your own,” he helped me find a way. So grateful and excited to be at Unity!

“Unity has been one of the best academic experiences I’ve ever had. Being able to pick and choose my schedules, what classes I was taking. When to take them, how to take them. Made it so much more accessible. I was allowed to still do the things that I loved, whether it be going for a hike, going outside.  I was still able to do all of those things while still doing research at different  organizations. So it was really nice to kind of get that full opportunity to do everything at once.”

“We had people from different master’s degree paths in the same classes and it was so cool to see how we thought differently and what we prioritized and all that. So that helped to build that knowledge base that I was really looking for. Because it wasn’t just my degree and what I was learning it was their degree too that I was learning.”

“Before attending Unity, I was attending my local state university and working at a local farm. I saw an advertisement online about Unity and after looking more into the mission and goals of the college, I knew that this was where I needed to be. I love how Unity focuses on the environment and takes a more holistic approach to learning. Once enrolled, I immediately felt a sense of belonging. I have never had a school that has aligned with my personal interests, goals, and ideologies until Unity. I feel this college represents what I stand for and shares the same passions that I have for the environment and its conservation.”

“Unity surprised me the most with its 5-week class format, supportive instructors, and affordability. While we often consider online classes a go-at-your-own-pace option, Unity is structured differently, and I excel with structured but fast-paced courses.”

Hunter S.

Bachelor of Science in Wildlife Conservation

Hunter always knew that his future would involve working to protect the natural world. His journey led him to Unity, thanks to a family connection, one of his relatives had graduated from Unity in the early 1990s and recommended it as a perfect fit for someone with his love for the outdoors.

Hunter, chose Unity’s Distance Education program, which allowed him to stay close to his Maryland home while caring for his ill father. Sadly, his father passed away during his first year at Unity, but Hunter knew his father would have wanted him to continue his education. Now, his mother is his biggest supporter as he works toward his B.S. in Wildlife Conservation, a degree that fits his goal of working for the Maryland Department of Natural Resources. “I want to build a career in conservation and wildlife management, and this program aligns perfectly with my long-term goals,” explains Hunter.

One of the standout experiences for Hunter at Unity has been his Transformational Leadership course with Professor Carson. The course had a lasting impact, helping him discover his leadership style and how to drive positive change in various contexts.

“Professor Carson’s approach was both challenging and inspiring. He pushed us to think critically about leadership and how it applies not just in conservation but in any job or life situation. The skills and concepts I’ve gained will be invaluable throughout my career.”

Unity’s supportive and diverse community has played a key role in his positive experience. “I’ve had the chance to collaborate with people from all kinds of backgrounds, and the support from both students and professors has been incredible,” Hunter shares.

The Distance Learning program has allowed Hunter to balance his studies with his responsibilities at home, and he is on track to graduate on time.

“Unity has truly boosted my self-confidence and made learning enjoyable,” Hunter concludes. “I can’t wait to see where this path takes me.”

“Unity was a godsend when it came to financial aid and actually all of my finances throughout my journey. I was already working two jobs, so I really didn’t know how I could fit in any more… bringing any more income in plus being able to take on school. They assured me that my part of just filling out the FAFSA application, that’s all I needed to do and that they would send me everything completed already and I would just have to initial the offer that was given to me. And that’s exactly what happened. And because they don’t raise your class prices, it makes a huge difference when the cost of living keeps changing.”

“Every semester I was out in the field, whether it was for my wildlife identification course having to go out and take photographs, making life history charts, taking photos of anthropogenic changes within my community, or developing my capstone project. I spent two weeks going out and taking pictures of that and my coworkers had to deal with me saying ‘oh look what I found’ every single day. It was something that contradicted that myth that an online program is just going to be sitting at a computer. You make your own adventure.”
