“When I came to the University of Nebraska at Kearney, I was unsure what I wanted to do. When I took my first computer science course as part of my general studies requirements I knew I had found my new major. The faculty and staff of the Computer Science and Information Technology department taught me everything I needed to know to be a successful programmer and provided me the professional networking that helped me start my career before I even graduated.”
