A Look Back
| * What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? | Staffs has a great program which gives you a chance to really hone your skills with less stellar equipment than what we get spoiled with at Hartt. This program would be best for an MPT who is pretty confident in their skills and can work without faculty supervision on most of their assignments. |
