    Testimonials

    I was looking around at various schools for Marketing, and I saw that St. Lawrence College had won at the Marketing competition year after year after year. That was the inspiration for me to come here. With my competitive nature, it sounded like where I want to be. I came to St. Lawrence College because I wanted to run a business, and the Marketing program here just seemed to make sense for me.
