How Flerida Found Flexibility and Purpose Through Rowan’s Online Liberal Studies Program
When Flerida V. came to the United States from the Dominican Republic five years ago, she faced a challenge familiar to many adult learners—starting over in a new country, language, and education system. She began by taking English as a Second Language (ESL) classes, then earned an associate degree in fine arts from Atlantic Cape Community College (ACCC).
After graduating from ACCC in 2024, she wanted to keep going. “I wanted to do the bachelor’s, and Rowan gave me the opportunity to get my degree in something that I really liked,” she shared.
That “something” turned out to be a perfect fit: a combination of public relations and philosophy through Rowan’s online Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Liberal Studies, a program designed for transfer students looking to complete their degree 100% online.
