"I chose to attend the College of Health, Life Sciences & Education at MSSU to pursue a degree in teacher education because I was aware of its reputation for having exceptional advisors, professors, and a commitment to providing high-quality education. I believe that with the guidance of these great advisors and the rigorous learning environment offered, I will be well-prepared for future endeavors."
