            2009-2012, Masters of Arts, Communicative Disorders

            Dynamic campus that provides opportunities to those who seek them. UCF is dynamic. Every visit back reveals a different change. In my field there were several opportunities/partnerships in the community for externships. These were great ways to give back to the community. The campus also has a communicative disorders clinic and a unique Aphasia House which offers Com Disorder students a wider exposure to different clients prior to the work setting. Student government provided me the opportunity to petition for funding to subsidize my conferences for research. Overall it was a challenging and positive experience. Go Knights!!

            2011-2013, Masters, Business Administration

            I’ve enjoyed working at UCF since 2007 and gained a new appreciation for the university when I enrolled for graduate school in 2011. I was part of the Executive MBA program and found it challenging, relevant and (believe it or not) fun! I was pleased that my experience as a student matched my experience as an employee.

            1983-1985, Master's Degree, EE & Communication Sciences

            Graduating at UCF in 1985 was a sensational accomplishment for me; a great multi-national Campus with a focussed and futuristic Engineering College gives you a head start any where!
