“All of my professors have cared so deeply about us as students and as people, making an effort to support us and be a resource. The hands-on learning we receive is second to none. We get so much field experience and are in the classroom starting with our first semester. In fact, I was visiting schools in just the second week of classes!”Jordan’s Jordan Tress
