“There was a moment when I looked in the mirror and realized that despite my busy work schedule, I had been neglecting something important for myself, which was advancing my education. A friend told me about the College of Professional Studies bachelor’s completion program.

It’s mission accomplished.”—Matt Kielky, BS in Information Technology `19

“The demand for information technology talent continues to increase and this trend will only grow over time. Our program provides hands-on experience in the tools that employers expect.
