STUDENT SPOTLIGHT

Ayla Ranta

Psychology • Class of 2023 • MSE-Counseling Grad Student

I was looking for an affordable and accredited program in my area that allowed me to graduate within two years and gave me the opportunity to test for my Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) license after graduating. UWS was a practical choice, and it is an affordable program in comparison to other local universities.
