What Our Students Say

Patrick Climie

One of my favorite things about the program was building strong relationships with my professors. If you work hard and put in the time, they are going to notice and be on your side, sharing scholarship opportunities and introducing you to the people you should know. I appreciated how my professors shared their professional experience with us and made that knowledge relatable.
