"I work full-time for a trucking company in Fargo as a driver recruiter. There’s a significant need for human resources professionals in the trucking industry, which is a very unique industry with all kinds of challenges you won’t find in a regular siloed company setting.

"My experience with M State was a positive one, and I would recommend it to anyone. I had been a medical transcriptionist since 1990, but it was clear that my profession was becoming extinct.

"I knew this was the school for me when I went to check out the college and met Jeff Nelson, the Criminal Justice Coordinator. He is very knowledgeable about law enforcement topics, and he works with you if you don’t understand something. He wants all his students to succeed.

"I chose to attend M State because I had heard such great things about the instructors, and specifically the Fine Arts department. The Fergus Falls campus offered smaller class sizes, which I really appreciated. 

"M State really helped prepare me for a career by being very hands-on. Our projects were based on real scenarios and involved teaching students how to use critical thinking, ethics and educated research to solve problems."

"I really enjoyed the small class sizes. It was nice having so much hands-on time and getting to move at our own pace. It was an amazing learning opportunity."
