Meet William Jones, an NKU alumni x2 and current social studies and computer science teacher at Harrison County High School!
Jones received his bachelor’s in social studies with a teaching certificate and master’s in education.
When asked what he loved most about his program, he said that he felt well prepared for his first year of teaching and that he loved being able to extend connections with previous professors from his undergraduate courses, as well as the master’s program being affordable and flexible.
“The graduate program was affordable and flexible for me to complete at my own page. The program was also appropriately challenging and rigorous to where I felt I became a better teacher because of it,” Jones said.
Jones values his education from NKU because it led him to more career and advancement options in the field of education and allowed him to develop a better and deeper understanding about education and society as a whole.
“If you want to get an easy degree from a college just for the pay raise and rank change, you can choose an online program that will have no impact on you. If you want a graduate program where you can challenge yourself and grow academically and earn a graduate degree you can be proud of, NKU is the right choice,” Jones said.
