The program also had set due dates so I could plan out my week, space out the work, and manage my time better. The availability of the professors is a big part of the degree. Because of Tabor and its values, some amazing professors have walked with us and are flexible when ‘life happens. Every class had spiritual life discussions, allowing me to see how to further bring my faith into my life.
