Why did you choose the Bachelor-Accelerated Master’s (BAM) in Foreign Languages with a concentration in Spanish Bilingual/Multicultural Education?

I decided to apply for the BAM program because I thought that it was a great opportunity. Now, I firmly believe that it was, in fact, a great opportunity to advance in my career. As a first-generation college student, I encountered many obstacles throughout my academic path. However, this program provided an extra support and pushed me towards success.

 

Taking pre-graduate and post-graduate classes at the same time provided a great foundation as well as a smooth transition. Not only that, but it allowed to continue with my education. Aside from the economic benefit, the BAM allowed me to develop different advanced skills.

 

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

I see myself continuing with my education, working towards my PhD. If it weren’t for this program, it would have taken me longer to finish my Master's. In fact, I probably would have stopped for a few years before coming back. Thanks to the accelerated master’s pathway, I am way ahead of my academic goals.
