Corporate Communications, '15 / Master in Public Administration, '17

"In undergrad, I majored in Corporate Communications and my master's was in public administration. Doing marketing for a nonprofit allowed me to gain experience in both areas of study. The marketing associate position allowed me to take what I had learned in the classroom and apply the content to everyday life. My job tasks were very wide in range, which exposed me to a variety of challenges and obstacles."

Andy Baker, Marketing and Communications Manager at Downtown STL, Inc.
