Students study in a classroom where we encourage each other to stay competitive but work together to achieve our goals. Outside of the classroom, we have weekly informal gatherings to strengthen relationships between the professor and the students.

Specifically, proof reading Entry Sheets and holding mock interviews. Seniors also prepare PPT presentations for each industry to give a better understanding of each field and profession.
