Campbellsville University is undoubtedly my first choice because of their course offerings. I enrolled in their Option 6 Superintendent Certification Program in the Spring of 2024. The convenience of online courses and evening classes work well with my busy school schedule. Another added bonus is the low student-to-teacher ratio, which helps foster positive working relationships with my professors. The instructors take a personal interest in fostering success for each member of the class. I appreciate their availability when I have a question on an assignment or need advice in a professional manner. It’s clear that the professors at Campbellsville model what they teach and serve students as they progress through the coursework. This model is the epitome of servant leadership at its best. I appreciate that the professors make themselves available for communication, even after the term has ended. Because of my experience at Campbellsville University, I have made connections and built professional relationships which will continue to foster my career and leadership successes. I recommend Campbellsville University, without reservation, to any aspiring school leader. You will not regret the experience!
