Maegan, who lives in Alberta, Canada, was looking for a certificate in therapeutic recreation to enhance her skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maegan, a master’s degree student, works with para-athletes and in adaptive physical activity. She’d started a master’s program in her field, but wanted add the therapeutic recreation certificate. “I actually already have a bachelor’s degree, but was a few classes short of a certification that is starting to become more popular in my home province.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because she was working as she studied for her master’s degree, an online program best fit her needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She chose 51ÁÔÆæ because the cost was reasonable and all the courses she needed were packaged in one program. This meant she didn’t have to take one course at a time at different universities. “Also,” she adds, “a lot of the other therapeutic recreation programs required their students to take a practicum, which I didn’t need, and it wasn’t viable with my schedule.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flexibility was key for Maegan. “I could do my work in small bits when I had a moment during the week, or get all of it done on Sunday, whatever happened to work best with my schedule that week.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","story_taxonomy":[],"class_list":["post-488","student-stories","type-student-stories","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\n
