Student Stories
“Small class sizes made the professors more approachable, as opposed to being in an auditorium with 400 students. The professors are flexible. They want to work with you. That was something I really appreciated, as well as how flexible they were in accepting my associate degree. Seeing them as professors and also designers on the side was inspiring. That really motivated me and opened my eyes to new possibilities. It told me that this is a really fun field in general.”
