I looked into several programs. U of A was the most affordable, and it looked like it would work out well. I could keep my full-time job, and it was a bonus to be a Razorback. I would definitely recommend seeking someone out who's going through the same process and having someone to lean on, complain, vent, discuss this or that."

Part of what I do is programming, and the majority of my co-workers are electrical engineers. When working with electricity, I wanted a deeper understanding of what I was doing. With Dr. McCann, I was really able to dive into the mathematics behind the programming I do. If I wanted to pursue more advanced processing controls, I have more understanding. The degree opens doors to future opportunities."

My roots are here. Also, I didn't have to take the GRE, and I liked my professors. I would tell anyone it's worth it. Even though it's a challenge at the time, I think it will pay off."
