What our graduates say

The people who taught me, from Psychology to Management professors were all very knowledgeable and up to date in their field. I was always motivated to go to class and learn from these great instructors. Every university has laptops, buildings, and classrooms...it’s the people that make the difference. And during my time at Hellenic American College, I was lucky enough to meet many great people that made me believe in myself.

Nikoletta Samara, BSPsy ’16

HR Director, EMEA at Verint

When I started my studies at Hellenic American College, I was really anxious about how I was going to achieve my goals. I kept wondering those first days, “Am I going to like the courses? Will I fit in to the college environment? What will my professors be like?” And here I am now, five years later, having finished my BS in Psychology and already in the second year of my MS in Clinical Psychology. During this time, I’ve learned a lot, made friends for life and participated in all sorts of volunteer work and projects… Plus, I’ve met some remarkable instructors! I also feel very lucky and proud to be a part of the Hellenic American College staff, as I am surrounded with excellent coworkers-friends. My college years have been full of beautiful and challenging moments.
