“The Bachelor's in Instructional Design degree was flexible enough to take in the evenings and weekends while working full-time in my industry. Upon graduation, I more than doubled my salary to $150,000, so my degree paid for itself. I loved my college experience so much that I returned to Asbury for a graduate degree in Instructional Design."

Brittany Robinson

“Instructional designers are in demand, and the e-learning market is booming. Asbury's professors helped me to land an amazing internship and my dream job right after I graduated. Each Asbury course that I took built upon previous courses, which ultimately prepared me to enter the field.”
