I am a native St. Louisan, and my answer to the ever-popular St. Louis question is St. Thomas Aquinas High School (now Trinity High School). I changed my major at least four times as an UMSL undergraduate, and therefore am sympathetic to students who can't decide on a major!! The result of this indecision was that I completed two undergraduate degrees, in Psychology and English (with a Writing Certificate). I have a Master's degree in Education- Counseling.
Many of my relatives and friends have graduated from UMSL with degrees from the College of Business. As a result, I have seen the professional success that results from having a Business Administration degree from UMSL. While our degree programs may be challenging, employers know that UMSL Business majors are well prepared, and that makes a difference when you graduate.
On a personal note, I am married and the parent of two teenagers. I am a bookworm who hopes heaven has a library, and my interests include history, travel, Trivial Pursuit and free-lance writing. I am also the co-director of Heart to Heart-St. Louis, an organization that provides education, support and advocacy for families in Missouri and southern Illinois who deal with congenital heart disease.
