Olympic Gold Medalist Continues Success
The online Bachelor of Science in Social Work program allowed professional athlete, Tianna Madison, to continue her winning streak by earning her bachelor’s degree to pursue a career in counseling.
I’ve won 3 Olympic Gold Medals, 3 World Championship Gold Medals, and 3 World Championship bronze medals in track and field. After not making the Tokyo Olympic team because I was pregnant with my son, I decided that I was ready to move away from sports, and the first thing I wanted to do was return to school to complete my degree.
