Why choose Frostburg State for graduate school?

For Blair, the original draw to the program at Frostburg was the online format. Blair was able to work full-time over 60 miles away at Washington County Public Schools while obtaining her degree. Blair speaks to the quality of the program and its relevancy to the current working world of administration.

“The professors are knowledgeable, personable, and helpful. I felt that the experience was personalized. Dr. Baker, in particular, took the time to meet with students one-on-one discussing assignments, questions, and getting to know students on an individual basis.”
