The MA program has provided me with a real sense of direction and focus, both academically and professionally… The rigorous coursework helped me realize how much I value interaction with my peers, teamwork, and cooperative problem solving as a core part of my workflow. It’s really helped me both recognize my need for that type of work environment and refine my skills to profitably engage with others. I truly cannot express to you how much value I’ve derived from my peers and the faculty in this program.
