June 29, 2011 - PRLog -- Huston, TX – Almeda University announced today that hundreds of its students will receive a graduate degree this fall. Mark Watts is the first to complete the University's online Master of Education (M.Ed.) program that was recently launched. Hundreds of other undergraduate and graduate Almeda University students also will receive degrees.

Watts says, he is honored to be Almeda’s first Masters of Education degree graduate. He has received his Bachelor Degree from Almeda University in 1999 in communications. He says he had no idea when I signed on that he’d be the first graduate of the program. He reports that the program was so well rounded and organized that he assumed it had been around for a long time.

Watts, currently in his 12th year as a County Schools Supervisor, decided last year that he wanted to pursue his Master's degree so he could run for superintendent of his district.

I consider myself very fortunate to have found Almeda, he said. Having a full time job and a family, I was apprehensive about going back to school, but this online program has exceeded my expectations in every way.

Watts is now eligible to run for superintendent in June 2012. His degree completion also results in an automatic and substantial pay raise, he said.

Watts gives much of the credit for his positive experience to the Director of Almeda University’s Master of Education degree program, Jamie Bails, Ed. D. Effective Jan. 1, Dr. Bails will become Dean of the Almeda University School of Education. She will continue to provide leadership for the Masters of Education program, as well as for other education programs offered at the University. http://www.almedauniversity.org

Dr. Bails is very dedicated and does an excellent job managing the program, she said. She genuinely wants you to learn. She sets the standard for the whole program. Watts encounters with professors, advisors, and staff was equally top notch, he said.

Watts and his family plan to travel to Texas to participate in the University's on campus graduation ceremony. I'm looking forward to meeting Dr. Bails, as well as some of my fellow classmates that I've interacted so closely with, he said.
