Learn from the best
Students come from around the world for our high-quality professors, renowned in their areas of expertise. But these professors are more than just educators. They are also mentors.
For instance, media arts student Ali Romero had this to say about professors Mariah Fox Hausman and Angela Meron: “Not only have Mariah and Angela taught me so much, they care about their students and their success…It’s amazing the things that can be accomplished when you have people like Mariah and Angela as your teachers and mentors.”
