Personal Statements

"I have been extremely satisfied with my grad school experience.  The UW Oshkosh graduate program has challenged me to think outside my comfort zone.  Because of grad school, I now look at the world through more discerning eyes enabling me to better tackle the world's problems.  Grad school has given me the resources to explore new ideas in mathematics education."  - Jed O'Brien, Master of Science in Mathematics Education

"Before starting my program, I did not have a sense of self or purpose in life.  The professional counseling program brought life back to me.  My professors helped facilitate an environment for personal and academic growth.  UW Oshkosh, the Professional Counseling Program specifically, was appealing to me because of the vast opportunities for field work and the empathy and compassion I felt from the professors during the interview experience."  -Carla Mueller, Master of Science in Education - Professional Counseling
