"I'm a Fordham University alumnae and when thinking of the environment most important to me I remembered how great my four years as an undergrad were. I also had the opportunity to speak with someone with admissions and asked all the questions and knew instantly this was the program meant for me. Fordham University is one the most flexible programs to be a part of especially for someone like myself that works full time."
