I chose Marywood University because of the excellent Education program. It is held to the highest standard and has a reputation of excellence for all of the right reasons. I love having smaller class sizes, because it allows me to connect on a deeper, more meaningful level with all of my professors and classmates. I have met some of my best friends through my classes and met professors that have shaped me into the person and student that I am today. The faculty within the Education department inspire me to dream big, work hard, and put my all into everything that I do. They are phenomenal role models who have influenced my life in countless positive ways. I am extremely thankful to have these relationships.
