“With the small class sizes at Western, I had access to professional economists who were conducting research. This helped me learn how to think like an economist. And although earning a Ph.D. is one of the most difficult tasks I’ve ever attempted, the support and encouragement from my professors at Missouri Western has given me confidence to know I can finish.”
