“The sense of community has been overwhelming. It's very inclusive. Also, it doesn't matter how busy anyone’s schedule is, they always make time for you. And they're always happy to have discussions, it doesn't have to be discussing a problem, maybe you're just problem-solving or brainstorming ideas.”
Ana Morgan, pursuing a PhD in Astronomy and Planetary Science
“The content and the classes are great. I like NAU, it’s a great university to go to. I’m always telling my husband’s Marines, You need to get your degree. You need to use your tuition assistance. Go to NAU because it’s more affordable, and you’ll get a great education.”
Jessica Stuart, pursuing a master’s degree in Organizational Leadership
“When I came here, I thought I would probably get my master’s degree, go back home, and find a job. I never thought that I’d want to stay here. But all the support that I received from NAU has been mind-blowing, whether it’s been towards my personal development, career development, or even funding, I’ve been really happy and satisfied. That’s why I didn’t even have to think twice that I wanted to stay here for my PhD.”
Glen D’Silva, PhD in Mechanical Engineering, ’23
“This program truly is remarkable. I can't pinpoint a single favorite experience because they've all been incredible. The simulations are incredibly valuable; the College of Nursing brings in actors to portray patients, giving us the chance to practice our skills with real people.”
