Student Experiences
"The Educational Studies Program gave me a different approach to explore my career and an alternative route to becoming a certified teacher. I was able to advance my education despite the many challenges that come with being a full-time employee, 两个孩子的母亲, 一个妻子, and a full-time student. I'm truly thankful for everything I learned during my years at 哥伦比亚大学."
