00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:00.720
Alright.

00:00:00.720 --> 00:00:02.820
Well, thank you for joining.

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:05.520
I guess, okay.

00:00:05.520 --> 00:00:07.120
We just had one more join us.

00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:09.060
Thank you very much for joining.

00:00:09.360 --> 00:00:10.180
I'm Michelle.

00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:15.620
I am the admissions adviser for the master's in psychology, program.

00:00:16.555 --> 00:00:19.775
And, I've already said oh, you received an email.

00:00:19.835 --> 00:00:20.895
Welcome, Sharon.

00:00:22.315 --> 00:00:24.315
So please hang on until the end.

00:00:24.315 --> 00:00:30.600
I have some information, some good information to give you at the end to share with you, so not my fault if you miss out.

00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:31.420
Alright?

00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:33.500
If you can hang in there, hang in.

00:00:34.040 --> 00:00:36.600
But, anyway, you won't miss out.

00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:39.740
Just send me an email, and I'll send you if you've had to drop off.

00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:43.800
But if you have any questions, please just drop them in the chat.

00:00:43.800 --> 00:00:46.685
I'll do my very best to keep up with them as we move along.

00:00:46.685 --> 00:00:51.425
But if I miss you, again, I'll say it definitely is not intentional.

00:00:52.365 --> 00:00:59.940
I will go through again at the end just to make sure I've caught everything and, respond the best I can.

00:00:59.940 --> 00:01:08.980
If I can, I will jot your name down and send you an email, the next day and, and answer your question?

00:01:08.980 --> 00:01:09.480
Alright?

00:01:09.620 --> 00:01:12.340
And you'll have my email as well.

00:01:12.340 --> 00:01:16.655
So if you don't feel comfortable using the chat, that's just it's completely fine.

00:01:16.655 --> 00:01:18.435
Just, send me an email.

00:01:18.975 --> 00:01:19.455
Alright?

00:01:19.775 --> 00:01:24.595
It's safe to get started now, and thank you very, very much everybody for joining.

00:01:25.215 --> 00:01:27.395
Lots of good things to talk about here.

00:01:28.460 --> 00:01:51.815
So, let me just say that, before we dive in, I want to let you know you may have seen some information about our masters in psychology program and and about it being newly restructured, on social media or even elsewhere.

00:01:52.675 --> 00:01:53.555
This is true.

00:01:53.875 --> 00:02:02.710
I had hoped that the website would have been published by now, but we are still fine tuning just a couple of things on it before it goes live.

00:02:02.710 --> 00:02:11.465
So at any point, it should go live, and you can see the newly restructured program in its glory.

00:02:11.765 --> 00:02:16.565
But for now, I will I will give you some some details about it.

00:02:16.565 --> 00:02:25.050
I'm not at liberty to go into full detail about it, but I can certainly give you a general idea of what's changing and how it might apply to you.

00:02:25.290 --> 00:02:25.790
Okay?

00:02:26.810 --> 00:02:36.490
So I'll be walking through the current version as it is on the website right now, and I'll kinda talk about how it integrates the new program integrates with the old.

00:02:36.490 --> 00:02:36.990
Alright?

00:02:37.450 --> 00:02:46.125
And so, I should also say that the good news is that, the core program is it's not changing.

00:02:46.125 --> 00:02:47.185
It hasn't changed.

00:02:47.565 --> 00:02:59.070
It's very much still centered on the Catholic Christian understanding of the human person, and it's designed to prepare students to make a real impact in the world.

00:02:59.070 --> 00:03:08.265
And I'll point out where the updates are coming and, try to answer any questions, that I can to help clarify, what's ahead.

00:03:08.565 --> 00:03:09.065
Alright?

00:03:09.845 --> 00:03:18.245
And, I will still talk about the structure of the program as it is now, the admissions requirements, and all of those things.

00:03:18.245 --> 00:03:20.105
So alright.

00:03:20.245 --> 00:03:28.020
Just want you to know that behind the scenes, the university is restructuring the program to make it, even more career focused.

00:03:28.020 --> 00:03:30.180
That's an important thing for us.

00:03:31.060 --> 00:03:41.165
But, anyway, for now, everything we do discuss today will still give you a strong foundation and, an accurate understanding of the program.

00:03:41.305 --> 00:03:41.805
Alrighty?

00:03:42.665 --> 00:03:47.165
So let's start with a little bit of history.

00:03:47.305 --> 00:03:50.205
This is where we kinda always start up.

00:03:52.320 --> 00:03:57.220
So, basically, you know, DMU is a Catholic Christian university.

00:03:58.480 --> 00:04:01.220
We were founded in 1999.

00:04:01.760 --> 00:04:06.905
We are on our twenty fifth anniversary right now, so it's a pretty special year for us.

00:04:07.605 --> 00:04:11.465
The program that you're looking at now launched in 2014.

00:04:12.325 --> 00:04:12.825
Alright?

00:04:14.565 --> 00:04:27.530
The, university was founded by a group of psychologists who wanted a more compassionate approach to psychology, that integrated both faith and ethics.

00:04:28.150 --> 00:04:36.455
And the goal was to make psychology more accessible and to help people flourish both in their personal and their professional lives.

00:04:37.315 --> 00:04:46.375
We are accredited as you can see down here, the SACSCOC, which is the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges.

00:04:46.595 --> 00:04:47.495
It's a mouthful.

00:04:48.080 --> 00:04:52.660
But, it's basically the gold standard of accreditation here in The US.

00:04:53.440 --> 00:05:06.325
And that really just means that your education is backed by an institution that meets and continually, continues to meet the, high academic and ethical standards.

00:05:07.025 --> 00:05:07.425
Alright.

00:05:07.425 --> 00:05:10.565
So that's just a little bit of history for you.

00:05:11.265 --> 00:05:11.765
Alright?

00:05:12.145 --> 00:05:16.485
And I will move right into why the program is unique.

00:05:17.520 --> 00:05:29.040
And I'm willing to bet for you that, one of the number one reasons we are unique is what brought you here, possibly, I'm willing to bet, right now.

00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:41.745
And that's the fact that we are built on an integrative approach to psychology that does allow for a deeper understanding of the whole person, with the Catholic Christian vision of the person.

00:05:42.125 --> 00:05:47.530
That is definitely by far the number one reason, I think that we're unique.

00:05:47.530 --> 00:05:49.150
That should be bullet number one.

00:05:49.370 --> 00:05:57.370
But we are a 100% online program, and what that means for you is that, and this doesn't change.

00:05:57.370 --> 00:05:59.450
None of these these things are all the same.

00:05:59.450 --> 00:05:59.805
Right?

00:06:00.125 --> 00:06:04.785
I'll let you know where changes are going to happen, but so far, this is all the same.

00:06:05.485 --> 00:06:09.505
100% online means that it works with your life.

00:06:09.565 --> 00:06:16.850
All of your commitments, your family, everything you have going on, it's built to work around that.

00:06:17.470 --> 00:06:29.090
It is a structured program, yet it's flexible enough, so that you can kinda work on your own and still maintain the program, meeting all the the deadlines of the program.

00:06:29.715 --> 00:06:29.955
Alright?

00:06:29.955 --> 00:06:41.735
And even though it is 100% online, we are told over and over how, there's a strong sense of community among the cohort.

00:06:42.130 --> 00:06:47.570
And a lot of these people, once they graduate, they're still in contact with one another.

00:06:47.570 --> 00:06:56.085
So I I think that definitely says a lot about a program, when you're you're still maintaining those relationships.

00:06:56.545 --> 00:07:06.725
Now the sixteen and twenty six month, I will talk about that more in a little bit, but I really wanna talk about these four bullets here.

00:07:06.785 --> 00:07:12.720
They kind of all link together, and they begin with a small student faculty ratio.

00:07:13.500 --> 00:07:19.360
And, really, the best way to say it is we have small classes.

00:07:19.980 --> 00:07:20.480
Alright?

00:07:21.420 --> 00:07:24.220
Our we keep our classes small.

00:07:24.220 --> 00:07:34.375
We do that, on purpose, and we do that so that you get personalized is that the right word?

00:07:35.795 --> 00:07:44.720
That you get personal attention from the from the faculty, and weekly feedback is something, you get weekly feedback from the faculty.

00:07:45.820 --> 00:07:55.665
The classes for masters in psychology generally typically run, I'd say, 15 to 20 people, but never more than 30.

00:07:55.725 --> 00:07:59.165
But I would say 20 is probably the the sweet spot.

00:07:59.485 --> 00:08:02.305
So the classes are small and we do that on purpose.

00:08:02.925 --> 00:08:03.425
Alright?

00:08:04.490 --> 00:08:19.645
Speaking of faculty, our faculty have, doctoral level training, and they also have real world experience with integrating psychology and faith because a lot of them are practicing on their own.

00:08:19.645 --> 00:08:31.505
They have their own practices and things going on to their teaching, and they are, practice they're in the field doing the thing that they're teaching, so I think that's important as well.

00:08:32.280 --> 00:08:32.780
Alright.

00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:35.820
Let's move on here.

00:08:37.400 --> 00:08:41.400
The benefits of the master's in psychology program.

00:08:41.400 --> 00:08:45.880
So you can look over these wonderful things here.

00:08:46.280 --> 00:09:05.220
You know, there's personal development here, professional development, but the very best thing that I can tell you that is not on this list, is that many of the students, the feedback that we get is that they describe the program as cathartic.

00:09:06.800 --> 00:09:16.420
The program allowed them to work through personal experiences and unresolved issues from long ago to what's going on in their lives now.

00:09:17.035 --> 00:09:21.535
And all the while, they are deepening their understanding of the human person.

00:09:21.915 --> 00:09:31.855
And it's it's kind of a little bit of self care, which if you're getting into the people business and, you self care is important.

00:09:32.310 --> 00:09:37.850
You can burn yourself out very easily, especially, I mean, if you're an empathetic person.

00:09:38.230 --> 00:09:40.310
It's it's really easy to burn out.

00:09:40.310 --> 00:09:50.995
So you need to have a measure of self care, learning how to care for yourself as you're helping other people so that you can continue on in your mission.

00:09:51.535 --> 00:09:58.355
And so I think that's one of the most beautiful benefits of the program is that you you do learn a little bit of that.

00:09:59.820 --> 00:10:00.320
Alright?

00:10:00.940 --> 00:10:07.180
So moving forward here, this is where we're gonna deviate a little bit.

00:10:07.180 --> 00:10:07.680
Right?

00:10:08.140 --> 00:10:13.815
So here are the six concentrations as it shows, on the website.

00:10:13.815 --> 00:10:17.195
When you go on the website, these are the six concentrations.

00:10:17.575 --> 00:10:22.795
So, as they existed or as they exist in the current program.

00:10:23.415 --> 00:10:32.940
So, basically, you see things like human services and the pre PhD, marriage and family studies.

00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:46.005
So the exciting thing is that DMU has taken all of these things, all of these tracks, and refined them into now two career oriented pathways.

00:10:46.385 --> 00:10:46.785
Right?

00:10:46.785 --> 00:10:53.440
So instead of six, we are going, into two concentrations.

00:10:53.580 --> 00:10:54.080
Alright?

00:10:54.380 --> 00:10:57.120
The organizational leadership is one path.

00:10:57.340 --> 00:11:01.040
The pastoral and spiritual care is the second path.

00:11:01.340 --> 00:11:01.820
Alright?

00:11:01.820 --> 00:11:03.200
So this is what's different.

00:11:03.740 --> 00:11:04.240
Okay?

00:11:06.555 --> 00:11:10.735
These tracks what do I wanna say tracks?

00:11:10.955 --> 00:11:11.435
Yeah.

00:11:11.435 --> 00:11:23.510
So they're really designed to be more streamlined and career focused while still honoring the heart and the depth of the original concentrations that were offered.

00:11:23.510 --> 00:11:24.010
Alright?

00:11:24.310 --> 00:11:31.930
So this is not taking anything away from the six as you see them on the website.

00:11:31.990 --> 00:11:32.490
Alright?

00:11:33.110 --> 00:11:37.595
They contain they pull together elements.

00:11:38.775 --> 00:11:51.190
So for instance, for the pastoral and spiritual care is gonna pull elements from, like, the human services, marriage and family, parts of the pre PhD.

00:11:51.810 --> 00:11:59.990
And it just gives a clear direction for students drawn to, chaplaincy, caregiving roles, pastoral counseling.

00:12:00.690 --> 00:12:01.170
Alright?

00:12:01.170 --> 00:12:21.740
So it's it's a it's a concentration that's designed for those that want to accompany people through suffering, places like, hospitals, schools, correctional facilities, parishes, ministries, really lots of different places, that you can use that one.

00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:39.585
Now the organizational leadership, draws from what heavily definitely heavily from what was the leadership concentration, self design and even portions of the human services and pre PhD.

00:12:39.725 --> 00:12:49.500
So this one is ideal for students interested in shaping the culture and improving systems through a psychological lens.

00:12:49.500 --> 00:12:55.760
Now I can also say, not I don't wanna talk here.

00:12:56.140 --> 00:13:06.245
So you can use this in nonprofit leadership, for profit leadership, school administration, HR development, organizational training.

00:13:06.705 --> 00:13:18.005
So I should also state that with the organizational leadership, this one is going to sorry about that.

00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:20.580
Okay.

00:13:22.400 --> 00:13:29.140
This one is I have a note here.

00:13:29.600 --> 00:13:30.880
I don't wanna miss anything.

00:13:30.880 --> 00:13:31.840
So I did take notes.

00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:32.740
Forgive me.

00:13:32.880 --> 00:13:44.055
But my memory these days, you know, this one supports people that are pursuing the SHRM certification or recertification.

00:13:44.995 --> 00:13:50.460
So if you don't know what that is, it's the Society for Human Resource Management.

00:13:50.460 --> 00:14:00.240
It's the most, recognized credentials for those in HR or, management and organizational leadership.

00:14:00.780 --> 00:14:01.260
Alright?

00:14:01.500 --> 00:14:02.960
It's a pretty big certification.

00:14:03.580 --> 00:14:31.060
So, I should also say that the pastoral and spiritual care, that one is going to support those pursuing the chaplaincy certification through organizations like the n a c NACC, which is the National Association of Catholic Chaplains, or the BCCI, which is the board of Chaplaincy Certification Inc.

00:14:31.060 --> 00:14:31.560
Alright?

00:14:32.100 --> 00:14:40.295
So two new concentrations, and they also will help to lead to certifications.

00:14:40.915 --> 00:14:44.275
So, that much I can tell you.

00:14:44.275 --> 00:14:45.875
That's your sneak peek.

00:14:45.875 --> 00:14:46.375
Alright?

00:14:49.710 --> 00:14:52.530
These are the concentrations as they are.

00:14:53.390 --> 00:15:03.810
Let's look at these core courses because, again, what I wanna say about these is that they're not going away.

00:15:04.085 --> 00:15:12.665
And in fact, these were the eight courses that made up the foundation of each of those six concentrations that we had.

00:15:13.365 --> 00:15:21.390
So regardless of which concentration you were focusing in on, these eight courses were the foundation.

00:15:21.530 --> 00:15:26.350
And what separated, I can even show you here.

00:15:26.410 --> 00:15:30.670
What separated each, concentration were the electives.

00:15:30.730 --> 00:15:35.105
This is what differentiated each concentration one from the other.

00:15:35.105 --> 00:15:42.325
Leadership was, you know, had leadership courses and the same thing with marriage and family.

00:15:42.465 --> 00:15:42.965
Alright?

00:15:43.025 --> 00:15:48.700
So but these eight classes remained the same.

00:15:48.700 --> 00:15:58.000
So with the two new concentrations, I can tell you that four of these will remain as a foundation to those as well.

00:15:58.060 --> 00:15:58.560
Alright?

00:16:00.825 --> 00:16:12.685
The helping people flourish, this course is the first course that is taken, in the old program and with the new one.

00:16:12.745 --> 00:16:14.910
It'll be the first class that you take.

00:16:15.310 --> 00:16:15.630
Alright?

00:16:15.630 --> 00:16:19.710
It's taken by itself, and it's the first one.

00:16:19.710 --> 00:16:23.490
So when you start in fall, that will be the class you start with.

00:16:23.870 --> 00:16:24.350
Alright?

00:16:24.350 --> 00:16:36.385
And that one that you're gonna discover how psychology and faith basically come together to explore human dignity, well-being, and flourishing through the Catholic Christian, perspective.

00:16:36.765 --> 00:16:37.265
Alright?

00:16:37.725 --> 00:16:39.245
Another one let me see.

00:16:39.245 --> 00:16:57.595
The human growth and development across the lifespan, I believe this is another core class, and that one is, you're gonna gain a deeper understanding of how people grow, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, from infancy all the way up to older age.

00:16:58.055 --> 00:16:58.555
Alright?

00:16:59.255 --> 00:17:07.755
Cognition, emotion, and motivation, I believe that one is the third that's going to carry over and be, a foundation course.

00:17:08.055 --> 00:17:12.870
That one is the fun one because you're gonna take a deep dive into how the mind works.

00:17:14.370 --> 00:17:19.670
How we think, process emotions, and what truly drives human behavior.

00:17:19.730 --> 00:17:21.110
I would love to know that.

00:17:21.970 --> 00:17:27.245
So and then, I believe the fourth one is the Catholic Christian vision of flourishing.

00:17:27.705 --> 00:17:28.185
Alright?

00:17:28.185 --> 00:17:39.305
And so that course, examines how faith, virtue, and a sense of calling shape meaningful life, applying these insights to psychology and service.

00:17:39.305 --> 00:17:39.705
Alright?

00:17:39.705 --> 00:17:42.900
So those four classes are going to carry over.

00:17:42.900 --> 00:17:47.160
So the two new concentrations are gonna have those four classes.

00:17:47.540 --> 00:17:51.320
Now the remaining of these are not going away at all.

00:17:52.420 --> 00:18:01.635
What it is is that they will be integrated, some of them combined, reframed.

00:18:02.575 --> 00:18:03.775
They're going to be in there.

00:18:03.775 --> 00:18:05.775
They're just gonna look a little bit different.

00:18:05.775 --> 00:18:06.255
Alright?

00:18:06.255 --> 00:18:08.115
So we're not losing anything.

00:18:08.750 --> 00:18:09.570
It's restructured.

00:18:10.590 --> 00:18:11.090
Okay?

00:18:11.630 --> 00:18:25.025
So, you know, the courses may have different slight different names that may shift a little bit, but it it's basically it's the same.

00:18:26.445 --> 00:18:42.440
Now you might wanna know the reason why why they were thinking about doing this, and that's because out of those six electives or six electives, the six concentrations, not all of those had, not all of those carried the weight.

00:18:43.220 --> 00:18:49.400
You know, some of them people would get into, and it was it was easy for them to get into.

00:18:50.020 --> 00:18:57.525
It made sense for them, but then there were some that they didn't they weren't as popular, I guess.

00:18:57.585 --> 00:19:14.100
And so, I think just trying to look at resources and and, restructure it so that it makes sense into two different areas that people really tended to gravitate towards if that if that helps.

00:19:14.800 --> 00:19:15.300
Alright.

00:19:16.880 --> 00:19:18.480
I see we have no questions yet.

00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:20.100
Y'all are still with me.

00:19:21.285 --> 00:19:21.785
Okay.

00:19:22.405 --> 00:19:24.025
I'm glad if you are.

00:19:24.165 --> 00:19:24.985
Thank you.

00:19:25.445 --> 00:19:35.610
So let me show you here where this, degree can open doors for you that has the possibility of open doors for you.

00:19:35.930 --> 00:19:36.590
Thank you.

00:19:37.930 --> 00:19:51.425
So, you know that we are a master's in psychology degree, so it would make sense that you could use this degree to open doors for you in the in the mental health and service positions.

00:19:51.725 --> 00:19:52.865
Makes complete sense.

00:19:53.245 --> 00:20:01.265
And the fact that we are a Catholic Christian university, then that would make sense that it would open doors for you in the ministry.

00:20:01.405 --> 00:20:01.905
Right?

00:20:02.365 --> 00:20:13.080
So this degree is is pretty diverse because it could also open doors for you in areas that maybe you weren't even thinking about.

00:20:13.080 --> 00:20:16.220
So that's what this middle column here is for.

00:20:17.055 --> 00:20:26.435
There may be some interesting things here that you you just hadn't thought of that this degree could be the key to opening for you.

00:20:26.575 --> 00:20:29.715
Criminal profiling would be a really fun one, I think.

00:20:30.810 --> 00:20:35.550
So, just demonstrating the diversity of this degree.

00:20:35.690 --> 00:20:40.030
It can definitely open doors for many possibilities for you.

00:20:40.810 --> 00:20:41.310
Alright?

00:20:41.370 --> 00:20:43.610
And here oh, my goodness.

00:20:43.610 --> 00:20:44.670
Sorry about that.

00:20:45.735 --> 00:20:52.075
So just demonstrating that you could take this degree and go off into the corporate world.

00:20:52.215 --> 00:20:52.715
Right?

00:20:52.775 --> 00:20:58.235
I always say that, before I was here at DMU, I was in the corporate world.

00:20:59.015 --> 00:21:07.840
And I can tell you, 100% certain, everybody there needs God, faith, and psychology.

00:21:08.300 --> 00:21:10.620
So, this is good.

00:21:10.620 --> 00:21:18.945
It's just demonstrating that, you know, there are many places that you could go and, your degree could open the door for.

00:21:20.365 --> 00:21:20.685
No.

00:21:20.685 --> 00:21:21.825
I'm sorry, Barbara.

00:21:21.965 --> 00:21:25.825
The this program does not, lead to licensure.

00:21:27.565 --> 00:21:31.105
We have a master's in counseling program that does lead to licensure.

00:21:31.245 --> 00:21:43.640
And if you are at the end, I will post the contact information for the admissions advisers for that program so that you can talk to them.

00:21:44.100 --> 00:21:47.080
And, but, no, this is a master's degree.

00:21:47.700 --> 00:21:55.455
But, also, you know, it doesn't lead to licensure, but like I said, there are many areas.

00:21:55.675 --> 00:22:01.535
Now you could go into grief and loss, counseling if it's nonlicensed.

00:22:02.600 --> 00:22:03.000
Alright.

00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:20.155
I think, like, the biggest differentiator here between this program and the masters in counseling that does lead to licensure is that you cannot diagnose and and treat mental health issues.

00:22:20.375 --> 00:22:20.855
Alright?

00:22:20.855 --> 00:22:24.395
So this is kind of before that.

00:22:24.455 --> 00:22:30.075
You're kind of hitting people before they need to go into a clinic and they need to be treated.

00:22:31.270 --> 00:22:41.030
A lot of the places that you can go with your concentration, you can do very similar work, non licensed work.

00:22:41.030 --> 00:22:41.530
Alright?

00:22:42.390 --> 00:22:48.755
If you are interested in clinical work, then you certainly wanna check out the master's in counseling.

00:22:49.455 --> 00:22:50.995
That is very clinical.

00:22:51.935 --> 00:22:53.775
It's a four year long program.

00:22:53.775 --> 00:22:56.355
I won't talk much into that.

00:22:57.500 --> 00:22:59.440
That's not my expert area.

00:22:59.580 --> 00:23:01.440
Could you be a school counselor?

00:23:02.220 --> 00:23:02.620
Yes.

00:23:02.620 --> 00:23:04.720
It it could lead to school counseling.

00:23:06.140 --> 00:23:06.640
Okay.

00:23:07.100 --> 00:23:08.000
Alright, Barbara.

00:23:09.980 --> 00:23:10.815
Let me see.

00:23:10.975 --> 00:23:26.900
How about right now, I get you the contact information for the two admissions, advisors, and there you go.

00:23:27.760 --> 00:23:31.060
So definitely reach out, and I'm not offended.

00:23:31.440 --> 00:23:37.220
We're all we're all the same schools, so we just wanna make sure that you find the fit for you.

00:23:37.520 --> 00:23:39.775
And, you're welcome.

00:23:40.635 --> 00:23:44.235
Hope to see you around regardless whether it's this program or that one.

00:23:44.235 --> 00:23:49.375
We're just you know, we're all one happy family, so it's okay.

00:23:49.755 --> 00:23:50.255
Alright.

00:23:52.150 --> 00:23:59.050
So now we're gonna go into some of the, you know, the logistical parts of this program.

00:24:01.270 --> 00:24:05.770
We already said that it is a 100% online program.

00:24:08.325 --> 00:24:19.205
We have asynchronous classes, and what that means is that you don't have to be in front of your computer, you know, Monday, Wednesday, Friday at 8AM.

00:24:19.205 --> 00:24:20.485
You don't have to do that.

00:24:20.485 --> 00:24:24.940
You basically learn when you can learn.

00:24:24.940 --> 00:24:38.535
So if it's when the children are napping or when everybody's down asleep for the night, you can you can log in to your classes, and you have the ability to work anytime, anywhere, just as it says.

00:24:39.235 --> 00:24:44.055
Can I continue with the program as I was already in the program and stopped?

00:24:45.555 --> 00:24:46.915
We can talk about that.

00:24:46.915 --> 00:24:48.935
I can talk about that with you, Angie.

00:24:49.235 --> 00:24:50.880
Certainly, let's talk about that.

00:24:54.080 --> 00:24:55.540
I'll follow-up with you.

00:24:56.160 --> 00:24:56.900
No doubt.

00:24:57.280 --> 00:24:57.780
Okay.

00:24:59.120 --> 00:25:00.720
And thank you for your question.

00:25:00.720 --> 00:25:02.180
I can help out with that.

00:25:02.240 --> 00:25:02.980
You're welcome.

00:25:03.520 --> 00:25:04.020
Alright.

00:25:04.635 --> 00:25:13.855
So, basically, if you have Wi Fi, you can take your computer and go down the street to a coffee shop and sit there and take in a lecture.

00:25:13.995 --> 00:25:19.150
Or, you can you know, we have discussion boards.

00:25:19.530 --> 00:25:37.645
If anybody so I don't know how many are not familiar with online learning, but, you know, typically, how it goes is, you know, you get your assignments and your your weekly assignments and your lectures and readings, and all of those things are housed in the platform that we use.

00:25:37.645 --> 00:25:38.465
It's Canvas.

00:25:38.925 --> 00:25:39.245
Alright?

00:25:39.245 --> 00:25:42.545
So everything that you need, and you don't have to pay for course materials.

00:25:42.605 --> 00:25:48.480
But so everything you need that week for your courses are gonna be in that spot.

00:25:48.480 --> 00:25:54.240
So, one of the things that you typically will have to do is a discussion board.

00:25:54.240 --> 00:25:57.825
And so I apologize if if most of you you know this already.

00:25:57.885 --> 00:26:14.960
But, anyway, the after you're reading, after you're listening to the lecture, the professor will post a question to to the cohort, and you will respond to that in a in a forum type of a thing.

00:26:15.180 --> 00:26:21.200
And then, usually, you'll respond to a couple of other, cohort members as well.

00:26:21.500 --> 00:26:26.400
And so, anyway, all of these things are located in Canvas.

00:26:26.540 --> 00:26:27.040
Alright?

00:26:29.235 --> 00:26:36.995
Five sensory learning points just to let you know that, not everybody we appreciate that not everybody learns in the same way.

00:26:36.995 --> 00:26:41.175
Some people can hear something and and remember it and learn it.

00:26:41.315 --> 00:26:42.675
Some people have to read it.

00:26:42.675 --> 00:26:51.190
And so we just want you to know that we have the tools available so that you are able to learn in the way that makes sense for you.

00:26:51.410 --> 00:26:51.910
Alright?

00:26:51.970 --> 00:26:55.485
And then there, again, the weekly individualized feedback.

00:26:55.565 --> 00:26:56.385
It's a thing.

00:26:56.525 --> 00:26:57.325
It really is.

00:26:57.325 --> 00:26:59.265
You can't hide in the small classes.

00:26:59.885 --> 00:27:01.345
So I hope that's okay.

00:27:02.365 --> 00:27:03.425
It's actually wonderful.

00:27:04.605 --> 00:27:14.080
I went to a different online university for my graduate program, and I didn't know who my cohort members were.

00:27:14.540 --> 00:27:19.920
And I certainly didn't have a lot of feedback from the professors, so this is pretty special.

00:27:21.420 --> 00:27:21.920
Alright.

00:27:22.300 --> 00:27:28.335
Now we are going to go into the real nuts and bolts of it, and I apologize.

00:27:29.675 --> 00:27:36.495
These numbers are right right now, but they are for the '25, '20 six year.

00:27:36.875 --> 00:27:38.490
They've changed a little bit.

00:27:39.210 --> 00:27:42.490
They've increased slightly, and I don't have that slide.

00:27:42.490 --> 00:27:46.350
So I am sorry, but this is what it is at the moment, I believe.

00:27:46.810 --> 00:27:47.210
Alright?

00:27:47.210 --> 00:27:53.310
And this is a 33 program, alright, which consists of 11 classes.

00:27:53.975 --> 00:27:54.475
Alright?

00:27:55.895 --> 00:28:06.315
There's a technology fee tacked onto each class, and so that's for platform access and our support support help, and they're wonderful.

00:28:06.810 --> 00:28:16.110
Honestly, that right there is worth its weight in gold for me because I'm one of those tech people that just I'm gonna be all over this.

00:28:17.130 --> 00:28:19.530
So, anyway, so there's that.

00:28:19.850 --> 00:28:25.715
You'll notice there's a residency fee, and that is because there is a residency that will take place.

00:28:25.715 --> 00:28:28.295
It is in the seventh week of classes.

00:28:29.795 --> 00:28:31.315
It's in that first class.

00:28:31.315 --> 00:28:37.095
Remember, the first one that everybody takes at the same time by itself, the PSI five fifty.

00:28:37.520 --> 00:28:40.020
So it's in that class, the seventh week.

00:28:40.240 --> 00:28:42.340
It is a Friday and a Saturday.

00:28:42.480 --> 00:28:44.000
And don't worry.

00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:45.540
You don't have to go to Virginia.

00:28:45.600 --> 00:28:46.660
It's it's online.

00:28:46.880 --> 00:28:50.820
So you'll be in a Zoom classroom with your cohort and the professors.

00:28:51.600 --> 00:28:56.285
And, so, basically, that is the residency.

00:28:56.425 --> 00:28:59.005
And I heard that it is a really nice respite.

00:28:59.465 --> 00:29:02.985
So you at this point, you're in your seventh week of classes.

00:29:02.985 --> 00:29:12.680
You've been going forward with your discussion boards and your papers or, assignments, and so this is just a nice little break from that.

00:29:12.680 --> 00:29:13.180
Alright?

00:29:13.800 --> 00:29:16.700
So that is in the seventh week.

00:29:17.000 --> 00:29:17.500
Alright?

00:29:17.640 --> 00:29:22.885
This is the bottom line, and I can tell you the bottom line.

00:29:24.305 --> 00:29:30.465
People don't pay that, honestly, because there are, well, you'll see why.

00:29:30.465 --> 00:29:30.965
Alright.

00:29:31.425 --> 00:29:40.400
So let's just say because we are a an accredited university, we do have the federal student aid if you wanted to go that route.

00:29:40.400 --> 00:29:40.900
Right?

00:29:42.800 --> 00:29:49.620
You are gonna wanna have conversation possibly with your employer to see if they have employee tuition reimbursement.

00:29:50.085 --> 00:29:50.485
Alright?

00:29:50.485 --> 00:29:53.845
This is a benefit that a lot of businesses have.

00:29:53.845 --> 00:29:55.925
So you do wanna you wanna check into that.

00:29:55.925 --> 00:29:56.425
Alright?

00:29:56.885 --> 00:30:01.465
We are an approved we have veterans funding.

00:30:01.605 --> 00:30:03.305
We are a yellow ribbon school.

00:30:03.845 --> 00:30:08.530
Here's where I wanna get into this other stuff here, the scholarships and grants.

00:30:08.530 --> 00:30:09.030
Okay?

00:30:09.730 --> 00:30:12.630
This is why people don't pay that bottom line.

00:30:13.490 --> 00:30:15.830
If you go we're gonna go on a field trip.

00:30:16.050 --> 00:30:22.665
If you go to the main page here, right, and you go to financial aid, go to the scholarship tab.

00:30:22.805 --> 00:30:23.305
Alright?

00:30:24.565 --> 00:30:31.045
This is a listing of all the scholarships and grants that we have in house.

00:30:31.045 --> 00:30:32.965
This is what we we have.

00:30:32.965 --> 00:30:34.825
There's a whole list of things here.

00:30:35.780 --> 00:30:42.820
Some of them are more competitive, like the merit based scholarship is you can get up to 50% off.

00:30:42.820 --> 00:30:43.220
Alright?

00:30:43.220 --> 00:30:47.960
It varies, but it's a competitive, scholarship.

00:30:48.625 --> 00:30:53.285
You wanna apply for that as soon as you know that you are interested and you're moving forward.

00:30:54.465 --> 00:30:57.745
But there's literally something for everybody here.

00:30:57.745 --> 00:30:58.225
Alright?

00:30:58.225 --> 00:31:02.325
And then also pay attention to this tuition partnership.

00:31:03.210 --> 00:31:03.690
Okay?

00:31:03.690 --> 00:31:21.145
If we go here, there are those in our university that have spent a lots of time and years of their time forming affiliations with different schools and organizations and diocese.

00:31:21.445 --> 00:31:24.725
And so this is only this is only a partial list.

00:31:24.725 --> 00:31:30.025
Financial aid has the exhaustive list, but this is a good sampling here.

00:31:30.565 --> 00:31:46.450
If you see any any affiliations that you have, say you're with Focus, or, you know, you're with Our Lady Seat of Wisdom College, you wanna mention this, in your financial aid meeting.

00:31:46.590 --> 00:31:47.090
Okay?

00:31:47.630 --> 00:31:50.425
So let me go back here.

00:31:52.965 --> 00:31:56.965
You will get a financial aid a one on one financial aid meeting.

00:31:56.965 --> 00:31:57.445
Alright?

00:31:57.445 --> 00:32:08.610
After you finish your application, but before you you sign in to anything, you you kinda wanna know it at that point anyway where you are, as far as, you know, tuition.

00:32:08.830 --> 00:32:11.170
So it'll happen pretty early on.

00:32:11.550 --> 00:32:17.415
But, what I would say is that our financial aid office is there to guide you through the process.

00:32:17.415 --> 00:32:17.915
Alright?

00:32:17.975 --> 00:32:21.115
And so the one on one meeting is is important.

00:32:22.295 --> 00:32:32.260
Once you complete your application, it's gonna trigger them to set up the one on one meeting where you can ask questions and receive personalized guidance.

00:32:32.320 --> 00:32:32.820
Right?

00:32:33.200 --> 00:32:46.235
So I'm gonna say that it's always the most helpful thing when you go into that conversation, and have a few things ready, and that's, your FAFSA if you're eligible and you're you're doing that.

00:32:46.555 --> 00:32:53.375
The affiliations that I just showed you, any of the affiliations that you have, you wanna go in with that.

00:32:54.635 --> 00:33:10.460
These connections all can sometimes have or open the door, to scholarship or tuition partnerships that we you're gonna see each one of these basically has a discount.

00:33:10.520 --> 00:33:11.800
It's the best way to say it.

00:33:11.800 --> 00:33:12.300
Alright?

00:33:12.605 --> 00:33:16.685
So you wanna go into that meeting and have your information lined up.

00:33:16.685 --> 00:33:17.565
You tell them, okay.

00:33:17.565 --> 00:33:17.885
Yes.

00:33:17.885 --> 00:33:21.005
I'm affiliated with such and such a a school.

00:33:21.005 --> 00:33:22.625
Just you wanna let them know.

00:33:22.685 --> 00:33:28.950
And then have your questions ready, everything that you need, for them to help you.

00:33:29.010 --> 00:33:29.510
Alright?

00:33:31.730 --> 00:33:36.470
Also, you want to talk to your parish if you go to a Catholic church.

00:33:37.405 --> 00:33:43.505
There's so much available for you if you go to a Catholic church education wise, and it is worth the conversation.

00:33:44.045 --> 00:33:51.420
If anybody needs help, and you don't know who to contact, in your diocese or your parish, let me know.

00:33:51.420 --> 00:34:05.515
I do have an informational reference sheet put together for you to know who to reach out to to ask about these educational, the educational help that's available to you that you're probably not even aware of.

00:34:05.515 --> 00:34:09.055
Things like, the Knights of Columbus.

00:34:09.275 --> 00:34:15.535
That's only one that comes to mind, but there are so many other, things available for you.

00:34:16.310 --> 00:34:16.810
Alright?

00:34:17.910 --> 00:34:18.730
Cash plans.

00:34:18.950 --> 00:34:19.450
Alright?

00:34:20.310 --> 00:34:21.910
These are interest free.

00:34:21.910 --> 00:34:24.650
It's kinda set up like a loan month to month.

00:34:24.710 --> 00:34:28.890
It kinda breaks down that that number to where it's more manageable.

00:34:29.715 --> 00:34:30.215
Alright?

00:34:30.275 --> 00:34:33.895
So that is something that is helpful as well.

00:34:34.755 --> 00:34:35.255
Okay?

00:34:36.355 --> 00:34:40.295
Now I told you we were gonna talk about the sixteen and twenty six month.

00:34:42.060 --> 00:34:43.480
Now we are.

00:34:43.660 --> 00:34:44.060
Okay.

00:34:44.060 --> 00:34:47.600
So two different ways for you to go about this education.

00:34:48.780 --> 00:34:52.220
The traditional scenic route, which is the twenty six month.

00:34:52.220 --> 00:34:52.620
Right?

00:34:52.620 --> 00:34:53.580
You take your time.

00:34:53.580 --> 00:34:55.760
It's one class at a time.

00:34:56.275 --> 00:34:57.735
Nice and easy pace.

00:34:57.955 --> 00:34:58.455
Alright?

00:34:59.955 --> 00:35:02.295
Like I said, you're taking one class at a time.

00:35:03.395 --> 00:35:09.495
This is pretty much standard of most graduate programs is roughly around that two year mark.

00:35:09.870 --> 00:35:13.250
So then we have the fast track, the sixteen month.

00:35:13.790 --> 00:35:14.290
Alright?

00:35:14.430 --> 00:35:22.930
This one knocks off some of the tuition, and, again, this number is gonna be slightly different, moving forward into the twenty five, twenty six.

00:35:23.470 --> 00:35:27.335
So, the sixteen month, what does that look like?

00:35:27.475 --> 00:35:27.975
Alright.

00:35:28.195 --> 00:35:32.135
You're taking two classes at a time, and let me say let me start.

00:35:32.435 --> 00:35:33.815
We have three starts.

00:35:34.195 --> 00:35:36.135
Maybe I should have started out this way.

00:35:36.355 --> 00:35:39.735
So we start fall, spring, or summer.

00:35:40.010 --> 00:35:40.330
Alright?

00:35:40.330 --> 00:35:45.230
Fall and spring are gonna be your sixteen week semesters.

00:35:45.770 --> 00:35:46.170
Alright?

00:35:46.170 --> 00:35:51.230
That sixteen week semester is broken into two eight week terms.

00:35:51.530 --> 00:35:52.030
Alright?

00:35:52.645 --> 00:35:55.545
So for the first term, you're gonna be taking two classes.

00:35:56.645 --> 00:35:57.685
That term ends.

00:35:57.685 --> 00:35:58.985
Those classes end.

00:35:59.765 --> 00:36:02.265
Term two starts, you're taking two more classes.

00:36:02.485 --> 00:36:02.985
Alright?

00:36:03.045 --> 00:36:09.360
So, essentially, you're taking four classes in the sixteen week semester.

00:36:10.620 --> 00:36:11.100
Alright?

00:36:11.100 --> 00:36:13.200
Except for summer.

00:36:13.340 --> 00:36:16.800
Summer is always gonna be an eight week abbreviated session.

00:36:17.180 --> 00:36:21.680
So, you'll be taking two classes during that eight weeks.

00:36:22.220 --> 00:36:22.720
Okay?

00:36:22.780 --> 00:36:25.415
Now what does that mean work wise?

00:36:25.715 --> 00:36:34.935
So one class can take you anywhere from eight to fifteen hours a week in time commitment.

00:36:35.075 --> 00:36:40.790
That is including your reading, your lectures, assignments, anything like that.

00:36:41.090 --> 00:36:52.255
And I know that that's a broad scope of time there, but, the reason being is that some people are gonna progress through the material quicker than other people.

00:36:52.315 --> 00:36:57.775
They might have, psychology classes under their belt, and so they may move through.

00:36:57.995 --> 00:37:00.255
Some people might have the experience.

00:37:00.315 --> 00:37:01.035
They're in the field.

00:37:01.035 --> 00:37:04.870
They're doing the thing, and so they may move through quicker.

00:37:04.930 --> 00:37:09.490
So that's why it's, like, such a a gap there, eight to fifteen hours.

00:37:09.490 --> 00:37:10.930
So that's one class.

00:37:10.930 --> 00:37:13.910
And if you take the sixteen month, you're gonna double that.

00:37:14.210 --> 00:37:15.590
So I hope that helps.

00:37:17.435 --> 00:37:18.495
This is not impossible.

00:37:18.955 --> 00:37:19.355
Alright?

00:37:19.355 --> 00:37:22.735
It's definitely we would never set you up for impossible.

00:37:23.275 --> 00:37:25.775
We have lots of people that go through this successfully.

00:37:26.795 --> 00:37:29.835
It is kind of like a budget.

00:37:29.835 --> 00:37:30.075
Right?

00:37:30.075 --> 00:37:36.860
When you get a new car or a new home, you first get into that, it feels like, you know, constrictive.

00:37:37.800 --> 00:37:43.180
But you kinda shift things around and set priorities, and it's very much the same thing.

00:37:43.240 --> 00:37:47.240
You just reprioritize things in your life, and you just make it work.

00:37:47.240 --> 00:37:49.065
You know, if you wanna do it, you will.

00:37:49.945 --> 00:37:51.565
So that's my note on that.

00:37:52.585 --> 00:37:53.085
Alright.

00:37:53.625 --> 00:37:59.885
And now we are going to get into the requirements, and these are pretty straightforward.

00:38:00.505 --> 00:38:05.540
I do have one note on here that is not included that I have to tell you about.

00:38:06.580 --> 00:38:11.880
So we need your transcripts from your bachelor's degree with at least a 2.5 GPA.

00:38:12.980 --> 00:38:13.480
Alright?

00:38:13.780 --> 00:38:16.020
Two recommendation requests, please.

00:38:16.020 --> 00:38:24.255
Please have four or five because, for whatever reason, sometimes your first two forget about you.

00:38:24.255 --> 00:38:24.995
It's true.

00:38:25.695 --> 00:38:28.575
I don't know if the link gets lost in in the email.

00:38:28.575 --> 00:38:32.610
I'm not sure, but it happens and, maybe people get busy, and that's fine.

00:38:33.250 --> 00:38:38.770
But, literally, all this is is ten to twenty minutes of a commitment for them.

00:38:38.770 --> 00:38:40.150
They will get a link.

00:38:40.770 --> 00:38:43.190
They click the link and it opens up a form.

00:38:43.250 --> 00:38:50.645
And the form are many assorted questions about you, and they rate you on a scale of one to five.

00:38:50.645 --> 00:38:51.305
You know?

00:38:51.685 --> 00:38:54.185
How long have you known, Sarah?

00:38:55.365 --> 00:39:02.280
Things like that and, different things that you're you're good at and, so they rate you.

00:39:02.520 --> 00:39:07.900
And then there are a few places for comments, but that is literally the extent of it.

00:39:08.520 --> 00:39:13.960
I think some people might see this and freak out and think, oh, I have to generate a letter.

00:39:13.960 --> 00:39:14.520
You don't.

00:39:14.760 --> 00:39:15.375
They don't.

00:39:15.855 --> 00:39:18.975
But, it is very straightforward and very easy.

00:39:18.975 --> 00:39:21.935
It's not a huge time commitment for them.

00:39:21.935 --> 00:39:27.775
So but saying that, you should have you should have backup just in case.

00:39:27.775 --> 00:39:30.510
You don't you know, we don't want your application held up.

00:39:31.390 --> 00:39:35.170
And, the next thing is a current resume.

00:39:35.950 --> 00:39:43.230
And then a written statement of intent, which is basically a 500 word essay, and you're gonna take that time.

00:39:43.230 --> 00:39:51.165
It's it's think of it like a cover letter to the program director stating what it is that your what your mission is.

00:39:51.165 --> 00:39:52.685
What are you doing with this degree?

00:39:52.685 --> 00:39:55.505
How does the program line up with that mission?

00:39:55.645 --> 00:39:59.790
And if you need more guidance on that, I have that as well.

00:39:59.850 --> 00:40:03.550
So, a TOEFL where applicable.

00:40:03.770 --> 00:40:09.470
This is a, for non native English speaking individuals.

00:40:09.930 --> 00:40:10.430
Alright?

00:40:11.955 --> 00:40:20.215
The newest thing that we're adding in to our fall and beyond, requirements are the group interview.

00:40:20.435 --> 00:40:39.280
So you will have the opportunity to meet with the program director and a few, a few, a few professors, and then you'll have a few of your peers along in that meeting.

00:40:39.740 --> 00:40:48.615
And it's a really good time for them to get to know you and for you to get to know them and ask all of your questions.

00:40:48.755 --> 00:40:55.015
And, anyway, so that is gonna be new, and we have more information on that as well.

00:40:56.570 --> 00:41:00.830
But that should be in here, and, I'll add it in.

00:41:01.370 --> 00:41:12.925
And then once all of that has been complete, the last requirement is mandatory virtual orientation, which takes place before classes start.

00:41:13.705 --> 00:41:14.205
Alright?

00:41:14.665 --> 00:41:17.005
And that is it in a nutshell.

00:41:17.625 --> 00:41:18.105
Alright?

00:41:18.105 --> 00:41:19.565
It's it's not so scary.

00:41:21.865 --> 00:41:25.590
So those that have held on, thank you.

00:41:25.590 --> 00:41:26.970
Thank you for doing that.

00:41:28.790 --> 00:41:42.205
Basically, what I want to do now, these four questions, I want you to just look over those and kind of, you know, kinda gauge where you are with yourself.

00:41:42.205 --> 00:41:42.685
You know?

00:41:42.685 --> 00:41:59.400
If you're sitting here and you're thinking this program really aligns with my goals and, you can make it work with your schedule and, especially with the support that we offer, we do have a lot of support to offer, you as you move through.

00:41:59.940 --> 00:42:13.285
And if you feel confident that you can afford, moving through and finish strong, then definitely, I want you to let's see.

00:42:13.745 --> 00:42:17.365
I want you to use this link here.

00:42:19.025 --> 00:42:21.685
I'm gonna post it in the chat.

00:42:22.290 --> 00:42:23.910
It is the link for the application.

00:42:24.050 --> 00:42:27.270
I would love to see you, move through.

00:42:28.370 --> 00:42:36.015
Now as a thank you for you, for spending your time with me.

00:42:36.015 --> 00:42:36.515
Right?

00:42:37.855 --> 00:42:43.075
Here is a code that you plug into when you get to the part of the application.

00:42:43.135 --> 00:42:45.695
It talks about the the application fee.

00:42:45.695 --> 00:42:47.935
Plug that code in there, and it will waive that.

00:42:47.935 --> 00:42:48.335
Alright?

00:42:48.335 --> 00:42:54.760
So that's my thank you for sitting here with me and spending your time, especially especially Ghana.

00:42:55.220 --> 00:42:57.620
If Ghana is still here, Paul from Ghana.

00:42:57.620 --> 00:42:58.360
My goodness.

00:42:58.580 --> 00:43:01.640
It's just almost 11:30 there.

00:43:01.860 --> 00:43:05.055
So if you're still there, please use that link.

00:43:05.775 --> 00:43:19.235
Also, I wanna tell you that, July 1, if you have your application in by July 1, we have an early, application scholarship.

00:43:19.730 --> 00:43:21.490
It's worth $1,500.

00:43:21.490 --> 00:43:27.990
So this is a scholarship that you don't even have to do anything for other than your application.

00:43:28.770 --> 00:43:40.315
And that is not with the recommendations, and it's not including the transcript because those are external, and we can't we can't do anything about about that.

00:43:40.315 --> 00:43:43.935
But you have your application in by July 1.

00:43:44.395 --> 00:43:48.690
That will be applied, and, that's taken off of your tuition.

00:43:48.750 --> 00:43:53.490
So every little bit helps, and you are very welcome welcome, Joscely.

00:43:57.230 --> 00:43:58.910
I can't email Emily.

00:43:58.910 --> 00:43:59.390
I'm sorry.

00:43:59.390 --> 00:44:00.830
I can't email the slides.

00:44:00.830 --> 00:44:04.725
I can I can do screenshots of some that you're interested in?

00:44:04.725 --> 00:44:10.425
If you tell me what it was that was kind of, capturing your interest, I can do that.

00:44:10.965 --> 00:44:20.580
And, also, if anybody has, questions that you didn't wanna put in the chat, here's my email.

00:44:20.580 --> 00:44:22.100
This is my direct line.

00:44:22.100 --> 00:44:23.640
You can even send a text.

00:44:23.780 --> 00:44:24.280
Alright?

00:44:25.300 --> 00:44:30.015
Email me your questions or text them, and, I'll respond that way.

00:44:30.735 --> 00:44:32.255
Some people are a little shy.

00:44:32.255 --> 00:44:33.395
I understand that.

00:44:34.015 --> 00:44:35.955
I am too, believe it or not.

00:44:36.655 --> 00:44:40.275
So, thank you, Emily, for your email.

00:44:40.335 --> 00:44:42.115
I have that captured.

00:44:43.230 --> 00:44:54.290
And, yes, I can email any screenshots that you you might want, maybe the job, the positions, but whatever.

00:44:55.435 --> 00:44:56.815
Let's see what else.

00:44:56.875 --> 00:45:07.375
If anybody would like to set up time here and you wanna do a Zoom call, some people are more comfortable doing a Zoom call.

00:45:07.710 --> 00:45:08.910
Here's my calendar link.

00:45:08.910 --> 00:45:16.770
You can set up some time, and we can go through anything that you wanted clarification on or further information.

00:45:16.910 --> 00:45:19.250
I'm happy to do that for you.

00:45:19.965 --> 00:45:21.825
If, let me see.

00:45:22.765 --> 00:45:23.725
I think that's it.

00:45:23.725 --> 00:45:27.885
But, anyway, thank you all so much for spending your time.

00:45:27.885 --> 00:45:28.845
I really appreciate it.

00:45:28.845 --> 00:45:30.305
Thanks for hanging in there.

00:45:30.845 --> 00:45:35.400
And, again, reach out with your questions if you have them.

00:45:35.400 --> 00:45:42.300
And other than that, I'm gonna look for your application for fall, which starts August 20.

00:45:42.600 --> 00:45:43.100
Right?

00:45:43.240 --> 00:45:44.780
So that's coming up.

00:45:46.120 --> 00:45:54.405
Remember the July 1 date, the deadline for the early admission scholarship, and I think that's it.

00:45:54.865 --> 00:45:59.285
Did anybody have any questions that I can answer now?

00:45:59.585 --> 00:46:01.925
You are all very quiet tonight.

00:46:03.050 --> 00:46:04.510
So and that's fine.

00:46:04.570 --> 00:46:05.310
That's okay.

00:46:05.850 --> 00:46:13.870
Like I said, you can send them in an email if you prefer to do that, but I'm here for another couple of minutes if you want.

00:46:14.810 --> 00:46:19.395
I'll hang on and see if anybody has any questions.

00:46:21.935 --> 00:46:29.235
And let me see what else can I what else can I pass on to you?

00:46:34.990 --> 00:46:36.690
I think that was about it.

00:46:38.590 --> 00:46:41.570
But thank you again, everybody.

00:46:42.190 --> 00:46:43.010
Any questions?

00:46:47.375 --> 00:46:50.035
I hope that you you're welcome.

00:46:51.855 --> 00:46:52.355
Great.

00:46:53.855 --> 00:46:55.075
I hope so, Emily.

00:46:55.375 --> 00:46:56.195
Thank you.

00:46:57.810 --> 00:47:00.050
Transfer credits from other grad programs.

00:47:00.050 --> 00:47:00.790
We do.

00:47:01.410 --> 00:47:05.410
Now that is something the registrar will go through and look at.

00:47:05.410 --> 00:47:10.725
So if you have, just for kicks and giggles, you have an unofficial transcript.

00:47:10.725 --> 00:47:14.025
We can see what it is that they will transfer over.

00:47:15.525 --> 00:47:16.905
Thank you for that question.

00:47:18.405 --> 00:47:18.905
Yep.

00:47:22.485 --> 00:47:22.985
Alright.

00:47:26.450 --> 00:47:28.930
Again, take my email down.

00:47:28.930 --> 00:47:37.270
If you want to send me, an unofficial transcript, I can go, and and check with registrar about that for you.

00:47:38.435 --> 00:47:40.535
And, then you can know ahead of time.

00:47:40.675 --> 00:47:41.155
Sure.

00:47:41.155 --> 00:47:41.895
No problem.

00:47:43.795 --> 00:47:44.855
No problem.

00:47:46.355 --> 00:47:46.675
Wow.

00:47:46.675 --> 00:47:47.815
We finished early.

00:47:50.270 --> 00:47:52.350
I'm almost thinking, did I forget something?

00:47:52.350 --> 00:48:00.210
I don't think so, but just seems a little earlier than normal.

00:48:02.765 --> 00:48:03.825
But that's good.

00:48:03.965 --> 00:48:05.425
Now you get your time back.

00:48:06.765 --> 00:48:07.265
Alright.

00:48:07.645 --> 00:48:10.705
So there are five attendees left.

00:48:10.845 --> 00:48:15.025
Is there anything that I can help answer for you?

00:48:15.750 --> 00:48:23.530
Anything that you want clarification on, you want more information on?

00:48:28.035 --> 00:48:28.535
Alright.

00:48:29.795 --> 00:48:30.295
Alright.

00:48:31.395 --> 00:48:32.915
Well, with that, I'm gonna sign off.

00:48:32.915 --> 00:48:34.775
Again, thank you very, very much.

00:48:34.995 --> 00:48:40.055
And, I'll be looking forward to hearing from you guys or seeing you come through.

00:48:40.115 --> 00:48:46.928
And, other than that, I hope you have a lovely evening, and, take care.

00:48:46.928 --> 00:48:47.428
Alright?

00:48:47.968 --> 00:48:48.468
Bye.
