The Student Experience
"The program was flexible and I was able to work on my schedule, instructors were also flexible and great to work with. I was actually able to use the projects for two of the classes to build on each other and model them after and help inform a real-life project I was working on. Having the additional peer feedback and instructor feedback helped me think more holistically about my approach to my actual work project and informed the direction of some of the activities I implemented with my team."
