Business major

As a member of the Austin Peay cross country and track teams, a cadet in the University ROTC program and a Business student, Wesley Gray's schedule has him on the run – literally.

But with 365bet’s online classes, Gray’s time management becomes a bit simpler.

“I love online classes,” he said, estimating about half his classes are online. “They fit my practice schedule, and it’s easier when I travel.

365bet has allowed me to grow as an individual and opened many career paths along the way,” he said. “College has taught me how to adapt my schedule during overwhelming times in order to produce quality work, and the business professors I have had made it possible for me to be a student-athlete and an ROTC cadet.”
