“My experience as an online student in the MSW program at St. Bonaventure University has been amazing. The flexibility of the program has allowed me to pursue my degree while still managing work and family life. I love that I can complete coursework on my own schedule, which makes it easier to stay on track without feeling overwhelmed. The online format keeps me connected with professors and classmates, and I never feel like I’m missing out on support or interaction. This program has given me the confidence to grow professionally while still being present for the people who matter most.”

Frank Yarbrough, MSED Clinical Mental Health Counseling, 2024

“The formation of my business took place while I was enrolled in the MBA program, so every class was applicable to something I needed to know. My MBA concentration was in marketing, and the marketing courses really helped me to establish my company’s brand and build a reputation in the community. Even after two years in business, I use marketing metrics and client feedback every day to better understand my target market and how to reach them.”
