“The UCF Ph.D. Program very much prepared me to become a strong academic. Not only did I receive sufficient experience teaching, but I was able to work with amazing scholars/mentors who did an excellent job teaching me the research process. I am very pleased that I went through such a rigorous and challenging program.”
