"Every professor I have encountered in the Philosophy Dept genuinely cares that you are learning the material. I, amidst the confusion that can follow dense philosophical works, have asked many questions with obvious answers and have never been made to feel like I shouldn't have. This department is full of extremely well read teachers who truly want to help you learn; it is so motivating!” 

"The Philosophy Department is very special because of the academic and professional experience. My professors are kind, open-minded and are always willing to help me succeed. I have learned so much from them and I'm glad I am a part of the department.”

"In my opinion, the Mass Communication Department is special because all the teachers are willing to help you if you put in the effort. They'll even help you with things outside of class. For example, undergraduate research project, helped me when I had some hard stories to write for the MSU Reporter, and helped me when I didn't quite know what I was doing here. As long as you reach out, they will do everything in their power to help you. They are the most supportive group of people I have ever met.”

"In my opinion, what makes the College of Arts & Humanities special is the diversity of programs and students/faculty that hold a wide array of abilities and interests. The College encompasses a broad spectrum of professions (writers, communicators, teachers, critical thinkers, artists) yet all are similar to each other in some way. They're all archivists and inspirers.

What I've gotten out of my experience at MN State Mankato is the relationships I've formed with the dozens of amazing people I've met and valuable insight/advice I've received from educators. I wouldn't be where I'm at today if it wasn't for them.”
