Shaping a Creative Path

“If it were not for MPC’s Art History department, I believe that I would have never considered pursuing a Bachelor’s of Fine Arts and Museum Studies after graduation. I am grateful for the confidence and invaluable knowledge that MPC’s courses have offered me as a contributor to the preservation and interpretation of visual culture.”
