Why did you choose Wagner for graduate school?

I wanted a Master’s degree program that would allow me to continue working and growing in a professional setting and go to school at the same time.

How would you describe your experience as a Wagner student?

Walking onto campus each day, I felt energized and ready to learn and grow alongside the many classmates and colleagues that I attended classes, events, and extra-curricular activities with. Coupled with great professors, it was a truly amazing learning experience.
