Accelerate Your Learning

"My decision to go back to school was based on my desire to accelerate the learning that one typically experiences at work. I believed it would open up new horizons for career opportunities, expand my professional and personal network, and provide me with new perspectives.

I chose Carnegie Mellon Silicon Valley for its stellar reputation for Software Engineering and Management programs and because of its flexibility. Students can participate remotely in reading discussions and meetings with coaches and faculty members, who are accessible far beyond normal hours. This is especially helpful when one has late meetings at work and cannot make it in person to campus. The program has enabled me to balance a hectic work schedule and my personal life along with the demands of school.

The high quality faculty is another important strength of the program. Faculty members are experienced industry and academic veterans who serve as excellent resources. They provide an enriching learning experience with their inspiration, excellent insights, vast experience, and guiding clarity of thought."
