ONLINE LEARNING MAKES COLLEGE POSSIBLE
FOR BUSY MOM PATRICIA SANTOS

  Patricia Santos strives to do her best in all things. The single Mom is eager to earn her Bachelor’s Degree in Organizational Management with excellent grades. She also believes in giving full attention to her young son. The IRSC Virtual Campus enables her to make the best use of her time for family and work responsibilities.


Patricia began blending face-to-face courses with online classes in 2011, and that went so well she made the Dean’s List.  She  rewarded herself by taking an IRSC Study Abroad trip to Peru to see Machu Picchu.   By the Fall Semester of 2012, the Port St. Lucie resident planned a totally online schedule of courses.

“I fell totally in love with online learning.  My work situation had changed and I had to find a way to keep up with my son’s schedule.  Online learning gave me the opportunity to set my own study schedule,” she said.

Patricia has continued to excel in her classes and was inducted into the Sigma Beta Delta Honor Society in April, 2013.
