In the Arts and Letters Open House, I was able to learn so much about the Master’s program here at San Diego State University. I got to engage in conversation about the transition from a BA to an MA, learning about the workload difference and the discipline needed to achieve an MA.

Within the Open House, I was able to talk to various of my professors and learning about their journey to San Diego State University, and the motivations that got them through. One of my favorite questions is to ask what they studied, and I got to learn about so many different avenues of literature professors here at SDSU adventured off to.

My biggest takeaway from this open house was how everyone’s journey is not linear; it takes time to find a place that feels like it’s meant for you. And sometimes it’s important to just take a gap year and reset to find what you truly are seeking.
