Student Testimonials
"My wife Melissa and I decided to pursue our education together. Thanks to Lewis’ flexible, accelerated bachelor’s and master’s degrees, we have both been able to further our education while enjoying everything else life has to offer. Having the option to select between blended classes, online courses and face-to-face class time is an important and necessary tool to help maintain a healthy balance between life and school.
With both of us in classes, we can bounce real-life job related problems and questions off of each other and use our acquired knowledge to come up with new ideas and resolutions to our work-related issues. Overall, the Lewis experience has been life-changing for my entire family."

""I have implemented several key managerial techniques that have fostered a family-feel culture and morale with our staff. With four children, I needed a flexible degree program that was conducive to raising a family and working full-time.
I came to Lewis because of the flexible scheduling outside of work hours and also received my undergraduate degree in the Healthcare Leadership program."
