Student Spotlight

“Financially, CLU was the smartest thing I could have done. My City Year experience led me to CLU because I wanted to take advantage of a partnership that was familiar with City Year and offered scholarships that could help me finance my degree…I made my decision to go to CLU quickly because it offered completely online programs. Given so many unknowns about my life, that flexibility worked well for me.”
