Student Learning Outcomes
I transferred to Kutztown University as a sophomore, and my experience with the English program made it my only choice for graduate studies. The tight-knit community of field-leading professors supported and challenged me in equal measure, launching me to my first international conference – among other new heights. The skills I gained in concise communication, efficient research, and critical thinking continue to be invaluable in my technology career.
