鈥淭he economics program at TROY taught me to think critically and creatively. The staff challenge norms and traditional thinking in their curriculum and research, encouraging an environment of idea meritocracy. This approach, coupled with a friendly, collaborative and supportive environment, helped me to start on a career path that aligned with my skill set and interests - both of which were largely forged at TROY.鈥�
