Computer Science
The Computer Science program helped pave the way to my current role as a Software Engineer/Enterprise Architect intern for VSP Global. The program focuses on all of the industry-expected knowledge points in Java, such as object-oriented programming, algorithms and software development process. Dr. Reinhart’s project in our Software Engineering class allowed me to relate many of the interview questions to a physical project that I used to provide examples on my knowledge and skills.

Criminology and Criminal Justice
From the very first ‘Intro to Criminal Justice' course to the final ‘Criminal Justice Capstone’ course, my interest and conviction for pursuing a career in this field have only been reinvigorated with every course, experiential learning opportunity, and interaction with the diverse group of educators, guest lecturers and working professionals that I’ve had the pleasure to engage with. This department provided me with many opportunities to take agency over my learning experiences while offering support and guidance to forge the path that best fits my needs.

Theatre Arts
We don't just focus on warm-ups and how to speak on stage. We also study the history of theatre, and we are encouraged to broaden our intellect by taking classes outside of theatre. This helps us become more knowledgeable when we are faced with challenging roles and situations.
