What Theresa's Experience Was Like

"Suffolk’s MAGD program gave me the skill set and confidence to pursue the career I wanted. If I’d tried to teach myself all of these skills on the job, or on the side, it would have taken me a lot longer. And I would never have challenged myself in the way that I felt challenged here. I wouldn’t have known what I was capable of without the guidance and mentorship of the faculty, and without the tools and the space to really dig in and explore the world of graphic design."

“Suffolk’s MAGD is exactly what I was looking for in a graduate program. The faculty mentorship allows you to keep the “you” element of your work, while also incorporating new areas of design. Their feedback has encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone and do things with design I’d never imagined. Through this process, I found myself and why I do what I do.”

“After working in the market as a designer, I wanted to enhance my professional profile and skill set. The MAGD program was the best choice for me because it offered a wide range of classes and faculty mentorship. The faculty taught me to embrace my designs and supported me in brainstorming ideas and concepts, especially during the thesis process. Each semester was a new level of learning and development. It was that support that motivated me to pursue my professional goals.”
