“What stood out from [Norwich’s] program are the wonderful people involved and an accommodating online format,” Hedges reflected. “The Norwich instructors were genuinely understanding and invested in my success. My student support counselor was incredibly helpful, and her empathy and advice went a long way toward helping me. I could not have done as well without their guidance and support.”
