   Online Student Spotlight: Jenn G.


"I never would have gone back to school if I couldn't go online," says Jenn G.

While teaching can be an incredibly rewarding career, many worry that it doesn't pay enough. Jenn recognized that one sure way to boost earnings as a teacher was to advance her degree, so she enrolled at Grand Canyon University to earn her master's in Education.

She heard of Grand Canyon through a friend and felt comforted that the school had a physical presence. She knows her program is no less rigorous than one that is campus-based — "It definitely helps to be disciplined," she cautions — but she loves that she can earn her degree in her pajamas!
