Stem programs basically touch almost everything that we do in our lives-- the medical field, hospitals. We have a train system here in Atlanta. Somebody has to make sure that things operate as they should and that the trains run on time. It's really difficult to think of an area that is not touched by STEM.

The Marietta campus is focused on STEM. We have three colleges here. My college, computing, and social engineering, also [inaudible] engineering college, and college of construction and architecture.

The bachelors and the masters of cybersecurity are designed for either someone who wants to forward a career in cybersecurity or for somebody who's looking for a change into this career field. The bachelors of science in cybersecurity can be completed 100% online from scratch anywhere in the United States. With over 500,000 jobs currently available in the United States, there is an extremely high demand for cybersecurity professionals right now.

What makes the STEM program stand out first, obviously, is the jobs-- jobs, jobs. There are plenty of jobs in the field. And they are good jobs. Secondly, we have online classes. We have hybrid classes. We have on campus classes. You can do whatever fits your schedule the best.

My undergraduate background is political science. And they allow students from non-computer science or IT undergraduate backgrounds to come in and take foundation level courses, receive a certificate, and then continue to take IT courses. So it made it convenient, and easy, and accessible for me to redirect my path and start fresh.
