Throughout my journey at UB, I experienced tremendous personal and professional growth. The curriculum challenged me to think critically, communicate effectively, and build the technical and analytical skills needed in today’s competitive job market. What I’m most proud of is how much I’ve grown in confidence and clarity about my career goals. The University provided countless opportunities &mdash from classroom learning to networking events and career workshops &mdash that helped me become the professional I am today.
While at UB, I provided free Tableau consulting services for the Aspetuck Land Trust. I leveraged GitHub to present my technical work to the marketplace during my job search. Doing this had a direct, positive impact on landing my first job after graduation. I used the skills I learned at UB to further the success of my company, helping merchants from around the world with their payment needs.
Over the course of four years, I attended University of Bridgeport’s Ernest C. Trefz School of Business studying for a dual master’s degree in their new Analytics program (MBA/MS). During that time, I was able to learn from leading industry professionals and learn systems that are highly relevant in today’s job market. I was fortunate enough to have an amazing advisor who was responsive, attentive, and highly passionate about his profession and teaching. The experience, curriculum, and business insights I have gained from this program have helped to advance my career from an associate to a manager at my current job. I am grateful to UB, my professors, and this amazing program.
UB was a perfect fit for my learning style and schedule. I earned my master’s in Analytics and Systems through UB’s online program. The quality of the courses and the support of the faculty were amazing. UB’s online and traditional in-person courses are very similar in material, goals, and results. However, online allows you to earn your degree from wherever you like! The option to earn my master’s degree in one year was key for me so that I could learn the current skills used in the field and apply them to my career immediately. My UB education helped me build great connections with peers and educators and also helped me land an amazing new job. My experience with UB has been nothing short of amazing. The skills that I have been able to take from my courses and apply to my career have led me to great new opportunities. If you are looking for that advancement in your career, I would strongly suggest choosing UB. It was the perfect university for me.
I graduated with a master’s in Analytics in 2018, and since then, I have had many opportunities to advance my professional career. During my master’s, I learned in-demand technical skills as well as important soft skills required to get a job in the data field. I want to thank my professors for their guidance and support throughout.
