"This program is great because it is small enough that you get to know your professors and other people in your classes, and large enough you get a quality education from people who really know the industry. The professor’s and staff are always there to help you succeed if you are willing to reach out and put in the work.  If you tell them your dream is to work for the NFL, they will help you lay out the steps to get where you want to go and do their best to help you achieve your dreams."
