USD’s liberal arts focus, combined with my dual degree and student organization participation, prepared me for my Summer Games internship with Booz Allen Hamilton. I was more comfortable with networking and public speaking than many of my peers and I am proud to say that our Razor project made the top 10 presentations out of 81 intern teams. Arica Christensen '20
I contribute much of my success at USD to not only being supported by passionate professors, but also staying involved in student clubs, research projects, career development events and professional organizations. These have allowed me to build my network and explore different interest within the technology industry. Taylor Wong '19
At USD, the professors are very supportive. They not only care about you as a student, but as a person and as a professional. Take advantage of the advice they give, learn the technical material and connect with them on a personal level. By being mindful of the people you work with and sharing the successes with those around you, you will make a lasting impact on the world. Jose Estrada '19
The engineering faculty helped me pilot my major at USD which allows me to take interdisciplinary classes in engineering and environmental science. This balance allows me to understand how the world works to develop sustainable solutions. Jazmyn Gonzalez '19
My experience has exceeded my expectations. I am grateful for the opportunity to have learned about the different fields in engineering, combined with philosophy, ethics, social sciences and communications.
