“The instructors and professors knew their material very well. A lot of them worked in the field previous to being employed at Oregon State, so they were very knowledgeable about programs that I wanted to go into.” – Kaitlin Thurman ‘22, M.S. in Environmental Sciences, Washington state environmental analyst |
