I would highly recommend the M.Ed. program through World Campus to others for many reasons. The instructors for each of the courses that I took (required and elective) were not only incredible to learn from, but extremely talented professionals in the field. Getting to learn from individuals that are doing the work they're teaching created a learning environment that was engaging and fun. Additionally, the program allowed me to create a network of individuals outside of Penn State, which I remain in contact with still years after completing the program.
