Job description

I'm a statistician.

Why did you choose this program?

My research into universities told me Humboldt State was a status university in Marine Biology.

How did this program prepare you for your job?

Couldn't do my job without it.

What did you enjoy most about the program?

It was more challenging than any other university I attended but also provided substantial support for its students. I was held to high standards but given the help I needed to successfully meet those standards.

What would you say to prospective students who are thinking about applying to this program?

I would highly recommend it. Humboldt is a teaching college that provides a far better education than you will find at research universities.

Other comments?

I went on to graduate with a Ph.D. from the University of Washington and spent my whole time there complaining about how much better HSU was in all categories.
