– Casey Luzar, LPH President, Communication Studies: Class of 2013
"The JMC program helped me build the skills I need for a career in the industry. Also, because of the small class sizes, I received the individual attention I needed to understand the content. Most importantly, I was able to build personal relationships with my instructors and peers. My favorite thing about the program is that it allows each student's unique skills and talents to shine."
