Students and Alumni Stories
Our students and alumni talk about their experience in the program and how it has affected their lives.
"During my experience at Bay Path, the instructional team has been extremely supportive. Dr. Boucakis and a core group of tenured professors have created a comfortable environment for learning. On-site weekends could be extremely stressful, however, the professors make sure our coursework is available in order for us to be prepared. I'm also very appreciative of my unified cohort, which is made up of people from all across the country, and the connections that have been made professionally and personally. I've gained mentors in my professors and friendships that will last a lifetime." - Shamira Stigars G'24
