I have been impressed by the wide variety of elective options and the ability to take courses from other departments. The campus is excellent, with an outstanding library and comprehensive facilities. The faculty is outstanding, especially in my studio and public policy classes. The MCRP program actively involves students in departmental decision-making, seeking our input on curriculum development and faculty hiring. One area for improvement is the incorporation of more diverse perspectives and reading materials, including nontraditional schools of thought. However, the department is aware of this need and is taking steps to address it.
