Tom Drake

Associate in Business Administration Graduate


I began attending Kirtland in the fall semester of 2019, pursuing an Associate Degree in Business Administration via online courses. Whether it is my teachers or counselors, the whole Kirtland team has made taking these classes incredibly streamlined and adaptable.

Attending online classes has provided me with a great deal of flexibility, allowing me to work part-time and spend time with my friends and family. Online learning is made easy with the setup of the material and the way learning tools are utilized. I recommend Kirtland to anyone looking to take their first step at the college level, or those looking to get back into college.
