What QB Scholars say...
. . . about advising:
"The advisors are very helpful and generally pretty accessible. If, for some reason, your particular assigned advisor is not available, you can talk to any other advisor in the department and they have the same information.”
-Michelle Sanders, Class of 2009
. . . about studying abroad:
"There are plenty of opportunities and options for studying abroad. While I have chosen not to go abroad next year, I know that all my friends who wanted to go abroad have applied and been accepted to one program or another."
- Anonymous Psychology major, Class of 2008
...about their favorite classes:
"I really enjoyed my class on Modern Christian Thought (Christianity in the 20th Century). We read about everyone from Marx and Barth to Martin Luther King Jr. and Billy Graham and explored topics like social justice, racial reconciliation, the gospel of wealth, etc."
- Anonymous, Psychology major, Class of 2008
