Renee Felts
AVP of Continuing Education

The amount I learned in 16 weeks is pretty amazing. The tools I learned have been incredibly helpful in my current role. The Data Analytics program gave me structure, direction, and real skills. The instructors understood the transition I was making. It gave me the confidence to show up in interviews with a portfolio and talk about real projects.
