“Attending Coastal Carolina University has provided me with an amazing graduate school experience.
I am thrilled that I chose to attend CCU over the various online programs I was previously researching. I have been very impressed by the level of knowledge and support the Coastal staff offers their students. They have made the entire process seamless. Part of the reason I decided to attend CCU was the offering of the hybrid master’s degree program in educational leadership. The variation of class meetings provides me the opportunity to find the right balance between work, school and home life. The professors display a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience, and offer their guidance and support to each of us in our cohort every step of the way.”
