“I leaped on the summer session as the best possible method for finishing my master's degree. I did two one-week classes back-to-back in May, another two the same way in July and then finished via distance learning in the fall. Start to finish: eight months. 

“I’m the commanding officer of the 136th Communications Flight, Texas Air National Guard. Iused two years of accumulated leave to attend the summer sessions, but it was totally worth it. I participated in the capstone course via cell modem while deployed in support of hurricanes Gustav and Ike. Again—worth it.” 

—Keil Hubert G’08, Executive M.S. in Information Management
“I took the Digital Forensics course in part because I wanted to take the course to help me with my aspirations of working for the federal government. I learned to think about how much we really have to protect our digital information. The moot court experience helped to reinforce what we had learned because we had to explain to the ‘jury’ what we did and why we did it in layman’s terms.”
