Ryan Peel’s Education

Aquinas College

BS , Mathematics, Geography , 1992 — 1996

I had a great experience at "AQ". The education I received was outstanding and I was treated as more than just another student.

The real value that Aquinas brings to the table is in the faculty. To this day, I still maintain contacts with a few of my professors as they genuinely care about how I am doing and what is going on in my life.

I would add that even though AQ is a liberal arts college, I received very focused education and training in my field of study. That said, I was still inspired to take more classes than just those required by my major and it has
paid off tremendously in my ability to be a leader.

As a student athlete, the programs I participated in were competitive at the national level. The coaches and staff recognize talent and worked with me to reach my full potential. They realize the importance of developing as a leader both on and off the field.

I would recommend "AQ" to anyone looking for a quality, well-rounded, education.
