I see some of the undergraduates who have come through our program and I recognize
from having them in my own classes
But then also, I see a number of mature students, and I believe the majority of our students are
mature students, who are coming back, sometimes to pursue a second career and they've decided
that they want to do history but they don't necessarily want to teach, or to
go on to get a PhD in history the way I have a you know, a renaissance
historian, and whatever the case may be, but they want to do something that is
hands-on and something that is equally scholarly, but something that's a bit
different as well.
We’re getting people coming here from North Carolina, people who are coming
here from Illinois, from the Chicago area,
people are coming from Missouri, if I remember correctly, as well as from the
Tri-state area. So I think given the the Midwest and middle Atlantic region we
have students coming from all over
and these are people who were, in their own right successful in what they were
doing previously and have decided to do something different at the middle point
of their career.
so for me it's very exciting to be able to look into two broad spectrum of
people who represented as our students.
