Student Testimonials:

"The professors' personal attention to the progress of my academic career has been of immense importance, and their involvement in facilitating my future professional career has been extremely beneficial as well. My experience in this department has been both challenging and encouraging." Rebecca Hastings, M.A. Class of 2013 (now studying for a Ph.D. at University of Oregon)

The small department size also allowed me to develop friendships with my classmates, who provided advice and support throughout the program."
