Pathways to Advanced Scholarship
"Our classes prepared us as students for a higher education level in all aspects.
In my case, I learned how to organize my learning process, studying methods, and writing
skills. This program motivated me to continue my studies and earn higher education,
such as a Doctorate, after earning my Masters Degree. The programs offered at MPC
and especially the Spanish language program are at their highest level. I studied
in different parts of the world, and I do guarantee that this program and the teaching
faculty are one of the best. It improves and shapes students' knowledge, critical
thinking, and linguistics."
