While in the program, I met classmates from:

All over the world! It was fun to get to know people from diverse backgrounds and to connect with fellow classmates locally as well as globally.

What I liked best about online learning was:

The convenience of being able to plan around my work and personal schedules.

What I enjoyed most about my experience at the SJSU School of Information was:

I plan to use my degree to:

Now that I have completed the program, I'm most looking forward to:
