"Getting my MDiv was something I never thought I’d be able to do at this point in my life. As a recent college graduate, the cost alone made it seem impossible. Cooley gave me a way to pursue my calling without taking on more debt, and that made all the difference."
"I’ve always wanted to delve deeper into theology, but going back to school didn’t fit my life right now. Being a mom with two small children, I needed flexibility. Cooley was answer to prayer. I’m able to study on my schedule, and the support from my mentor is invaluable. I never feel like I’m doing this on my own."
