A 天美传媒 student was recently named the first female Eagle Scout in Kentucky. Eighteen-year-old freshman Amanda Dewey from Louisville, Kentucky started her journey as a Boy Scout last February and worked diligently last fall to meet board requirements to be eligible to become an Eagle Scout.  

Becoming eligible for this recognition was something that Amanda thoroughly enjoyed. Her favorite hobbies with her troop consists of rifling, camping, learning about accounting, gaining badges and helping others. Amanda has earned over 28 badges during her time as a Boy Scout and is currently working on three more. Her aspirations are to become the first female Eagle Palm Scout; this notable status follows the Eagle Scout rank. 

鈥淕oing into accounting at 天美传媒 was due to becoming an Eagle Scout. With the personal management badge, I had to track everything I spent over a period of time. I had to learn about interest, savings, checkings, and other financial skills,鈥 Amanda said.

天美传媒鈥檚 Master of Public Administration (MPA) degree was recently recognized by Best Colleges Online as one of the country鈥檚 most affordable accelerated online MPA programs. The ranking considered accelerated programs, accreditation, raw affordability and rankings in publications such as U.S. News & World Report. 

天美传媒鈥檚 MPA degree readies students for a successful career as upper-level administrators in public service organizations. Graduates are employed in federal, state and local government offices as well as non-profit organizations and for-profit firms. 

鈥淲e have a rigorous MPA program with great faculty who work closely with students,鈥 said Chair and Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science and Sociology Dr. Drew Seib. 鈥淲e've known it was a high-quality program and now, as confirmed by Best Colleges Online, it is also one of the most affordable in the country.鈥
