\u201c[My degree] allowed me to get a good background in how systems typically work and enhance my understanding. It gave me a better understanding for the projects I work on today, in the position that I’m in right now.\u201d <\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n

\u201cAt Purdue, I was able to focus on what I was interested in, which was veterans\u2019 health care. Veterans are a particularly vulnerable population, so there are lots of interesting challenges when it comes to figuring out health care solutions for them. We have to be innovative, forward-thinkers if we want to make an impact.\u201d <\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n

\u201cThe program pushed me out of my comfort zone but made me a better person because of it. It challenged the way I think about teaching, and for that I\u2019ll forever be grateful.\u201d <\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n

\u201cOver the course of my education, my passion for communication just grew and grew. By the end of the program, I really understood that this is what I want to do with my life. I didn\u2019t feel that when I was working as an accountant, so that revelation means a lot to me.\u201d <\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n
