Panel 1: Maven reads a master’s in counseling program overview: “Build the skills to support individuals, families, and communities.” She thinks: “I could see myself doing this.” Her A FEW THINGS journal is on the desk.

Panel 2: Tuition: $800 per credit. 12 credits = $9,600. Per semester, tuition only. Maven thinks: “That’s per SEMESTER?”

Panel 3: Maven thinks: “And that’s just tuition.”

Panel 4: In her journal, What I still need to know: How many credits total? Fees and living costs? Summer tuition? Funding—and its conditions? Time for paid work? She thinks: “I need the whole number.”

Panel 5: Maven drafts a message to Admissions: “Could you send the full program cost and funding details?” She says: “And what does a typical week look like?”

Panel 6: Maven: “Still interested. Now I have questions.”
