But with a full-time job and a family life, the task seemed daunting—until she found UNC Hussman’s online master’s program. “What makes UNC different is that you have experts at your fingertips and they’re willing to help you through your education,” says Pritchard, a 2018 program graduate. “I found that incredibly valuable and special.”
