-In terms of both breadth and depth, the SU program was extremely beneficial. Courses were germane, and taught by individuals with credibility, experience, and understanding of our needs. There was a focus on pertinence and pragmatism--as opposed to academic work for the sake of the work itself. It was a significant investment in time and energy, and the faculty and staff at SU recognize this, and work with you to resolve conflicts associated with career and family demands within reason.
