WITH PREPARATION FOR GREAT JOBS AFTER GRADUATIONWhile at SNU, you will gain the knowledge and experience needed to seek the career path of your dreams. From graduate school to entering the job force, you will be prepared. Don’t take our word for it; meet SNU alumni,

Kyra Kuik, a content coordinator for Distilled, a marketing agency in Seattle, WA.

“All throughout college, I heard English majors were unemployable, but that’s simply not true. My job requires a degree in either English or Journalism, so I use the skills I gained as an English major every day,” Kuik said. “While I certainly had to build on the skills I gained in college, majoring in English made me an excellent writer, editor, and critical thinker…all of which I need to do my job.”

“Academically, SNU provided me the same opportunities as other colleges might, but what sets SNU apart is how much the faculty cares about the students,” she said. “My experience at SNU was exceptional because my professors took the time to mentor me and invest in me.” Professors, Kuik added, took the time to get to know her strengths and interests and convinced her that an English major was a great fit.

If a dream is a blueprint of a goal not yet achieved, at SNU we partner with you to focus your e� orts to attain whatever it is you hope to accomplish. We say DREAM WITH CONFIDENCE.
