You’ll be prepared for sought-after technology careers in business, government, health care, scientific research and beyond.

As a woman in the STEM fields, it was great to find strong female role models among ŷ��ַ’s faculty. The professors are so supportive. They take the time to grade your code by hand and pinpoint where you went wrong. I became a much more confident developer.”
