Elizabeth Whytock Shares Her Experience

"The faculty are superb and thoroughly share the expertise they've developed in certain practice areas. The pace of learning they have set for the coursework feels entirely appropriate for a graduate program. They also granted and set up my level 2 fieldwork in Tennessee, which allowed me to continue my education while being able to visit with my extended family. Lastly, my cohort was a close-knit community, which greatly contributed to the positive experience I had while pursuing my MOT degree." - Luckario Alcide G'23

“I had plans to have this beautiful life in Puerto Rico, and everything changed. I’d tell someone who’s where I was to make your education nonnegotiable. I had three surgeries, my bills were behind, I had a heartbreak. And my education is what’s going to get me out of the hole. I truly believe that. I’m a better mom and a better person just because I made my education non-negotiable.” Read her full story here
