“The best part about this program was learning from instructors with real hands-on industry experience. On the job, I apply almost everything I learned in the program. I wouldn’t be where I am today without that broad spectrum of knowledge. That I could get out of college without a mountain of debt and go to school close to home really made a difference too.” Read Brian Singleton's story.
