Concentrations
“As a single mom and returning student I was very intimidated to come back to school in a degree I knew very little about. I have learned more than ever thought possible with the help of exceptionally knowledgeable and talented professors who really cared about the subjects they were teaching, and about the students getting what they signed up for.”
