The Student Experience at Herzing

After graduating with my associate’s degree in medical office administration, I received several job offers. However, I decided to pursue a different passion and continue my education at Herzing with an associate’s degree in Criminal Justice. Today, I’m the owner of Daden Investigative Services in St. Louis, where I work as a licensed private investigator. Thank you, Herzing, for helping me jumpstart my career!

After meeting the advisors and staff at Herzing University, I knew it was the right school for me. The Herzing staff did a great job explaining how well the university would work with a nontraditional college student like me with a family and a career.

The online program is hard, but I learned that if you want something, you will do whatever it takes to accomplish your goal. My community health course helped me prepare to rebuild parts of my community and now I’m seriously considering pursuing my master’s degree in criminal justice.
