Dr. Bonnie J. Covelli, Associate Professor

USF’s hybrid program of both in-class and online courses made pursuing an advanced degree manageable with a full time executive position, volunteer work, and a family. The faculty members were extremely knowledgeable in their various disciplines and connected the course work to the real world. The curriculum and textbooks were timely and relevant for today’s highly competitive work environment, and assignments and projects gave purposeful practice to the material discussed.”
Colleen Mathy, Program Graduate
“What I learned in the Leach College of Nursing MSN program has made me a better nurse. Thank you to the University of St. Francis for giving me the formation to become a competent and caring clinician and a leader in my workplace.”
An MSN Graduate
“Having graduated from St. Francis with my B.S. in Psychology over 15 years ago, I wanted to continue my education with an MSW at the same school, based on my previous experience. The class sizes are small enough that professors to get to know students as individuals, and help each student to nurture their strengths and improve their weaknesses. The professors want their students to succeed and encourage students to seek help at any time. The MSW program taught me so much about myself and taught me to be more open-minded. The other students and professors are like family, which enhances the quality of education being given.”
Julia Stenzel ’20, MSW Program Graduate
“The post-master’s certificate I earned at USF made me more marketable in the workplace and also gave me the confidence and knowledge needed to become a leader in my institution. In a short time and a little investment, I was able to complete the program and change the trajectory of my career.”
Certificate Completer
