“I chose St. Thomas Aquinas because I fell in love with the Education Program. I enjoyed having the 5 year accelerated Master’s program as an option, and am overjoyed that I was able to take part in it. I decided to explore the route of teaching Special Education after being influenced by family friends that were diagnosed with disabilities at an early age. Watching the difference their educators made in their lives was something that I wanted to be able to recreate with my students.”
