My Viterbo experience opened my eyes to opportunities I never knew were available to me. My professors and coaches encouraged me to explore those opportunities and fostered an environment where I felt comfortable and confident to do so. The courses I took provided an excellent knowledge base for my law degree, and I continue to apply some of the theories and principles I learned at Viterbo in my legal career today.

The English writing faculty at Viterbo gave me everything I needed to be successful as a writer after graduation. The greatest lesson I was taught was that my opinion matters only as much as my ability to defend that opinion.”

The faculty within the history department are like my family away from home; they get to know me both personally and academically. The history department faculty provides future educators, such as myself, with excellent role models and mentors.”

Being a liberal studies major gave me the freedom and flexibility I craved as a college student with a wide scope of academic interests. By enrolling in this program, I was able to accommodate all of them: French, English, communications, theatre—and make them count.”

Majoring in philosophy at Viterbo was one of the most rewarding decisions I have ever made. The program offers a wide variety of classes that allow you to be exposed to the continental tradition. What makes the program unique is the breadth of knowledge, flexibility, energy, and guidance. The program has provided me a strong philosophical grounding that has prepared me for a master’s degree in public policy with a concentration on philosophy and social policy.”

I speak Spanish every day. And I learned Spanish at Viterbo from faculty who are native speakers from three different countries. Viterbo is a place where the faculty wants students to do well and they enable us to do so.”

I like the small class sizes and that the instructors really care about you. I’ve had multiple times where I’ve gotten emails from instructors where they’re saying, ‘Hey so and so is hiring. If you’re interested in this job please apply.’ I feel like when I graduate, it’s going to be impossible for me not to have a job.

I love working with college students, their energy and enthusiasm is contagious. I was blessed to have people walk with me and guide me on my faith journey when I was at Viterbo, and I hope to do that with my students.”

The skills I gained with my degree in social work at Viterbo have allowed me to succeed in a wide range of positions—from small group intervention with elementary students in a charter school to developing and implementing programs from the ground up with a new nonprofit. The close relationships I was able to develop with the faculty allowed them to get to know me and to challenge me to be the best I could be. They provided me with all the tools I needed to succeed. My experiences have taught me that the quality of education you get at Viterbo is unique and not one you are likely to find anywhere else.”
