We’re As Real As It Gets!
Tiffin University’s Degree Completion Programs have helped hundreds of students achieve their academic goals, leading them to real-world success, all while working classes around their busy work and personal schedules. Here are just a few of TU’s “Student Success Stories.”
Meet Jonathon Sharp:
"Tiffin's program is one of the few that can accomodate the needs of corrections officers who do not have predictable work schedules. The fact that this works so well with my schedule and gives me a big opportunity is just terrific. I love the instructors in this program. They all bring something different. It's practical knowledge that I can apply the next day."
Meet Troy Ogle:
"Everything is so convenient. I attend class right here in town and it doesn't interfere with my job. The program is very organized and my advisor has been instrumental in keeping me on track. The instructors, the networking in the field, and the relationships I've formed have all helped tremendously. Before, I could only imagine finishing my degree and working in the field I want. Now, with Tiffin's help, these opportunities truly are in my grasp."
Meet Michael John Lawler:
“Tiffin University's degree completion program has opened some doors to the future for possible employment opportunities for me. The main reason for continuing my education was to better myself and to be a positive mentor to children and young adults - to show them that life means more than just 'hanging out' on the street. I personally would recommend Tiffin University and its programs to anyone who has the drive to finish his or her education."
Meet Loraine Coutcher:
"Tiffin's degree completion program allows me to go to school one night a week to complete my degree. They've made my transition back to school so easy, and the faculty and staff make me feel right at home. Every aspect of the program seems designed to make sure I succeed. Tiffin is helping me achieve something I never thought was possible."
Meet Nancy Sullivan:
"As an adult getting a late start to my education, the fact that I could get my degree in a much shorter time frame than a traditional program was very attractive to me. Tiffin changed my life's path, and I am so pleased that now I can provide the same opportunity to others."
Meet Deb Bourn:
“I first became interested in the Tiffin University’s Degree Completion Program during my last quarter at Owens Community College. I had approached my dean with the desire of furthering my education with a four-year degree in Criminal Justice. After further discussing the option of Tiffin University’s Degree Completion Program, I discovered that Tiffin’s program had the convenience and flexibility I was looking for. I am on track to receive my Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice in less than two years. Tiffin University’s Degree Completion Program is perfect for non-traditional students like me – a mother of two, returning to school after many years. Obtaining my criminal justice degree and moving on to pursue my graduate degree will aid me in my goals to work with the disadvantaged and to serve as a positive example for my sons. I want my boys to see, understand, and appreciate the many options and opportunities that are available to them.”
Meet Tracy Troxel:
"Tiffin University's degree completion program is great for working folks who were never able to complete their degree for whatever reason. The University Staff and instructors are more than accomodating and do their very best to ensure a high quality education experience. If anyone out there knows of someone who is looking to go back to school, I highly recommend TU."
Meet Ron Frederick:
“My name is Ron Frederick and I work for the Toledo Police Department. I have been employed with the department since 1993. Currently I’m serving as a Sergeant in the field operations division. In addition to Toledo, I am also employed as an academy instructor at Owens Community College. My goal is to obtain a degree in Criminal Justice to increase my opportunities for job advancement. Within the past few years, education has become a necessary requirement for advancement in the policing field. This has created a need for officers to obtain degrees while still working full-time in the field. Working full-time, part-time and raising a child has limited my free time for education. For these reasons I selected the BCJ Program. Classes meet only one day a week and the program will be completed in twenty months. Upon completion I will receive a Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice. Another benefit of the program is that teachers are professionals in the field they instruct. They bring actual experience to the classroom and understand the challenges faced by working students. The program is a writing-based program. Being a marginal writer, I was uncomfortable with this concept at the beginning of my cohort. However, the instructors have been understanding and very helpful. Upon completion, I will have the confidence in my writing ability to pursue a master’s degree. I would highly recommend this program to working professionals desiring to rapidly obtain a bachelor’s degree for workplace advancement.”
