"I was a little worried about living in a remote town in Alaska and studying at M State, but it turned out to be a great experience. We had been living in Minnesota when I started attending M State, but when my husband got a job offer in Alaska we decided it would be a great opportunity for our family.

When I began the online program, I was a little nervous and hesitant – I didn’t know what to expect and I wasn’t sure how I would learn in an online setting. My Health Information Technology instructors made everything so easy. If I had any questions, I could email them and get an answer immediately.

I chose to pursue a career in HIT because I always wanted to be a part of the medical field but I wanted something behind the scenes. I like that I am involved with helping people, but I don’t have to be hands-on with patients.

I am so glad I decided to attend M State and study through the online HIT program. It is a great opportunity for busy students who are unable to attend regular physical classes but would still like to earn a degree. I would recommend M State to anyone, even if they live in a remote area."
