Why did you choose the WVU Integrated/Data Marketing Communications program?
During undergrad, I heard from a lot of my professors that the program was highly regarded and that it would be the challenge I was looking for to take my education to the next level. Upon looking into the program, I was really interested in a lot of the course offerings and thought they would better prepare me for future career opportunities.

What was your favorite course in the master's degree program?
Creative Strategy & Execution. Professor Stultz was the best!

What do you hope this degree does for your career (promotion, dream job, start your own company, etc)?
I really just wanted to explore the world of marketing communications a bit more to determine what areas interest me most. I’m hoping to use what I’ve learned to find that “dream job” that truly suits me.

In 15 words or fewer, how would you describe the program to a friend?
Interesting. Engaging. Challenging. Inspiring.
