Fostering diversity to prepare for a globalized industry
An important part of the student experience is providing ample opportunities to work not just with diverse team structures, but with diverse people. Our student body has represented 25 countries and 49 U.S. states plus D.C, and over half of our current student enrollment is international. We are a Women in STEM advocate and a hub of diverse educational backgrounds, bringing together students from a wide range of undergraduate degrees and majors including computer science, fine art, business, psychology, communication, and more.
This diversity allows our program to foster an inclusive learning environment that promotes a wide range of perspectives, enriches the collaborative experience in team-based projects, and prepares students for working in globalized industry environments.
