Nakayla Matthews, Class of 2020

“I truly enjoyed my bachelor’s degree in Healthcare Administration cohort, the small class sizes, and the great relationships I gained with my professors. I have accomplished so many things that I did not imagine I would. For example, I had the opportunity to study abroad in Ireland last May thanks to Dr. Scardino and Felician University’s School of Business. As a current graduate of Felician University I cannot thank the University enough for the exceptional education and for instilling in me the Felician values that I can take with me for the rest of my life.”
