Meet Our Faculty

The academic rigor of the program really prepares students for the real practical work in their future students. I think the programs help students be well rounded in information, skills and techniques to make them successful. I personally (in only a semester) have experienced great transformation and change in becoming more willing to approach the challenges as they come and learning from each of them. The tension is good tension, that produces great results.
