Saint Mary's Testimonials
“SMC is well known for having an excellent student-to-teacher ratio, but beyond that is the quality of the professors. It was because of these professors that I secured a position in my field directly after graduation. This was the result of more than just the skills I was taught, but thanks to my advisor searching and finding field school opportunities specific to me. Without her guidance and support, I wouldn’t be on my current career path.”
