“My major courses are heavily project based. I get to collaborate with others and get hands-on learning experience. The professors are very intelligent, well-rounded and helpful. They come up with creative ways to learn course content and keep us engaged. They also help us find opportunities outside of the classroom as we prepare to enter the workforce.”
