Southeastern University’s flexible online programs are designed for students who want a Christ-centered education, the freedom to be creative, and the flexibility to pursue their calling wherever life takes them. And for Digital Media & Design student Aryana, enrolling in SEU fully online has delivered all of that and more.
Living Local, Learning Online
“I chose SEU’s online program to ultimately have more time gaining experience in the field I want to go into, and to save money,” Aryana shared. “It’s been very flexible with my schedule and has supported my hectic life.”
Balancing school, work, and launching her own photography business would be a challenge for anyone. But SEU’s supportive and flexible online model has allowed Aryana to pursue each of those priorities without sacrificing academic quality or spiritual growth.
Through just 2–3 hours of focused schoolwork a day, Aryana stays on top of her degree while also growing her portfolio and gaining real-world experience. She wraps her day up with time in prayer and Scripture … a routine that keeps her grounded as she follows God’s call on her life.
Faith in Every Frame
“I love everything surrounding digital media,” Aryana said. “This major helps me tap into the creativity that God has gifted me with.”
For Aryana, studying Digital Media & Design at SEU is a way to steward her talents with purpose. Every assignment becomes a meaningful opportunity to glorify God and sharpen her abilities.
“Christianity has been incorporated in every class I’ve taken. Whether it’s in our weekly discussion posts or in creative assignments, it’s always integrated.”That faith foundation goes beyond academics. It has deeply shaped her spiritual life.
“SEU has helped me grow in my relationship with the Lord through ministry classes and events like Virtual Conference,” Aryana said. “I love that SEU hones in on each person’s Divine Design. That’s what ultimately led me to choose this university.”
Supportive From the Start
When Aryana first made the leap from high school to college, the thought of going to college online could have been intimidating, but thanks to SEU’s professors and advisors, that journey was smooth and encouraging.
“Professor Bowman was a huge help as I started my online learning. She encouraged me and helped me improve my writing tremendously,” Aryana said.
She also highlighted the support she received from her enrollment counselor and academic advisor: “They made everything go super smoothly and continue to be so supportive — always ready to answer any question I have.”
Learning That Moves With You
Aryana’s dream is to start her own photography business and eventually work in professional sports photography. With SEU, she is already taking big strides toward these goals. Her practicum experience has been top-notch, and in just under a year, Aryana says she’s learned more than she ever expected.
But the best part? She’s been able to do it all without relocating or putting her dreams on hold.
