“The course really appealed specifically to what I was interested in doing, which was learning about how to link business ideas of a product with an IT solution and how to do that in an efficient manner. It fills in the gaps in your own knowledge and gives you a whole lot of confidence to strive forward in your career. We’ve had guest speakers from industry and they share their actual experiences. It’s terrific getting a connection from theory to real-world practice and being able to ask them questions."
