“Before entering the program, I had only some practical experience with the technology stacks required for workplace programming. After a year of studies with a hands-on curriculum and knowledgeable faculty, I rapidly expanded my skill set and successfully prepared myself for my career in computer science. Our professors teach us how to effectively use the tools around us and how imperative these concepts are when working with real-world applications.”
