The combination of graphic design and digital media classes I took at Viterbo undoubtedly was the reason I was able to get such a good job just a month after graduation. The ability to have that one-on-one attention with such qualified professors is something you can’t get at just any college.

I truly feel that my education from Viterbo prepared me for my career as a dietitian. The various positions I hold demand that I use a variety of knowledge and skills, and Viterbo did an exceptional job of preparing me to do so.”

The accounting program and supportive faculty at Viterbo not only solidified my foundational knowledge of accounting but also prepared me for a career focused on servant leadership and community engagement.”

Viterbo allowed me to realize my goal of being a collegiate athlete and also gave me the best opportunity to get into a very competitive veterinary school program. Viterbo has smaller class sizes, an energetic campus life that makes it easier for students to get involved, and professors who know students by name and are always willing to meet outside of class for any questions.

My experiences in the classroom, assuming leadership roles, preforming research, and working with my mentors greatly benefit me in my current position as a predoctoral student at Mayo Graduate School. My research experiences at Viterbo were key to my entry into graduate school, and the academic advising and career advice I received were phenomenal.”

Viterbo provided an intimate undergraduate experience between students and faculty, an indispensable asset for learning rigorous math and science. My experiences tutoring students in statistics and general physics as well as conducting research with faculty members significantly improved my ability to convey complex concepts. Having transitioned into medical physics, where you can find yourself speaking with anyone from a patient to a physician, I would assert that my education at Viterbo was priceless.

The Viterbo clinical laboratory science program prepared me for the clinical aspect of patient care. I think it’s a privilege to have gone to a great educational facility.

My Viterbo education was very broad in the sense that I was taking classes in management, biology, as well as core classes in sport science. The spectrum showed me different levels of thinking and challenged me to broaden my way of thinking. Now that I have transitioned to graduate school, I have found that my degree courses prepared me for the critical analysis needed in graduate level classes. In my sport science and biology coursework, I was always challenged to take processes and apply them to situations in which everything might not be particularly right within the body or environment. This critical thinking has made the transition easier for myself and I’m grateful that I was challenged so much at Viterbo.

I have always had a passion for learning about the brain and neurodevelopment. The biopsychology major provided a balance between the neurochemistry of the brain and learning about human behavior. This knowledge has proven especially helpful as I pursue a career as a licensed professional counselor. The biopsychology major helped prepare me for my master’s program by expanding my understanding of the neurobiology behind human behavior, which has ultimately helped me better understand the people I serve.

The benefits of obtaining my Viterbo undergraduate degree in natural science (now environmental science) continues to enrich and guide my activities as an educator, consultant, property owner and agro-ecologist. The world class biology faculty and curriculum at Viterbo exceeded even my graduate science studies. Every Viterbo student engaged in coursework receives guidance, support and direction enabling them to develop a career path that encourages their strongest attributes.
