"I recently began a master's program in Educational Psych. In speaking with classmates, I realized that what I accomplished at MU was far beyond what they had been required to do. My classmates from research methods were surprised when I said I had to do an undergraduate thesis. I am just so thankful for the level of preparation that I received at Monmouth and I can't thank everyone enough!!!"
