Ashley Easterwood, MLA ’10

I chose St. Thomas because it’s a school that offers interesting classes that will help me to prosper professionally, as well as stimulate my personal interest.

Isabel Rodriguez, MLA ’08

At St. Thomas, I felt challenged by my professors and classmates. Successfully rising to that challenge gave me the confidence to go pursue a doctorate.

Amanda Duhon, MLA ’11

I particularly enjoyed the multidisciplinary aspects of the MLA seminar classes that were outside my area of study. We were engaged in open dialogue and everyone brought new ideas and different interpretations. You learned to argue your point and build your critical thinking skills.
