"I went back to school in order to make a career change. I found exactly what I needed at Plymouth State University. I'm getting my Master in Education Counseling/Human Relations with a post baccalaureate certificate in Organizational Communications. Having my M.Ed. with an MBA concentration will help to make me more marketable."
