Write an essay explaining why you are interested in pursuing this specific master’s degree and why you are a strong candidate for the program. Your response should be three pages, typed, and double-spaced. Please address the following questions in your response:

1. What are the specific academic and professional qualities you possess that could help you excel within this program?
