The CIS program is exactly what I was looking for. The faculty is expert, supportive, responsive, accessible, and readily available. CIS instructors provide students with guidance and mind opening perspectives. The course delivery is exceptionally well done and learning materials are presented in a very practical way. Each course I have taken within the program has prepared me to be a software and web developer. I started my full-time job as a web developer even before graduating.
