What Our Students Say
Conor Fennell | M.Ed. (Home Economics)
The online Master of Education in Home Economics allowed me to further my personal research goals and enabled me to further my professional career, all while working full-time internationally. I would recommend the program to any Home Economist interested in doing the same.
