"Beginning my Master of Business Administration during the summer semester with UAF online seemed like a daunting endeavor. Beginning graduate level classes after nearly a decade removed from academia and managing my zipline business seemed to leave little time for anything resembling summer. Fortunately, my instructor was flexible and understanding of the requirements of both class and business."
