"I wanted to make a career change into something meaningful, where I could help people, so I chose law enforcement."

"I’m thinking of becoming a correctional officer, and when I heard that my mom and sister were going to M State, I decided to join in and come here, too. My mom introduced me to the criminal justice field; I saw her zeal about it, and it sparked a flame in me."

"You can do all kinds of things in the field of criminal justice. I never would have known if I hadn’t become a student here."

"The program’s been good; I really enjoy it. I like the schedule and the hands-on aspect – the whole thing!"

"I like that we do one class at a time instead of like six different classes you’re trying to juggle. We get a lot of shop time every day – about an hour in the classroom and the rest of the day we’re in the shop. And the instructors are nice guys to talk to."

"As a kid, I would always see the M State commercials pop up on TV, and I’d sing the theme song every place I went, so I’ve always wanted to come here. Now that I’m here, I think it’s really great!"
