"The Salem State graduate program in education is one of the best programs of its kind in New England. I've learned more than I thought possible in such a short time from outstanding professors. As a teacher in the Salem school system, attending grad school at Salem State fits perfectly into my life's schedule."
"The evening program, class schedule and affordability were reasons I chose Salem State. Even more important is the reputation of the occupational therapy (OT) program. I am able to take classes and still work in the field. OT is a dynamic and fulfilling profession."
"Through my service with student government and residential life, I've learned the leadership skills that I need to excel in any career when I graduate."
"Living in the dorms has been extremely special for me; it just brings out the kid in all of us. I remember the day I bought some finger paints at Toys 'R Us and a bunch of us spent the afternoon finger painting pictures for each other. I've made friends here that I know I will keep for the rest of my life."
"Outside of the classroom I am a member of several student organizations, including serving as vice president of the Student Government Association. My involvement has provided me with the leadership and communication skills that I'll need when I graduate."

"I've always wanted to work for the FBI, so a degree in criminal justice seemed a logical choice. My double major with theatre arts grew out of a passion for the arts and the discovery of the amazing program here. Salem State was a convenient location and an affordable price, with small class sizes and professors who really care about me as an individual."
