"The INT program at FHSU equipped me with the tools and knowledge required to build a strong foundation in the
technology field. This groundwork enabled me to secure a position as Network Administrator Assistant with a local bank.
Everything we do in life carries with it a cost of some kind. Therefore, I always try to figure rather or not a potential
return justifies my investment. I can say with confidence that the INT program was a smart/ profitable investment for
me!"

"The INT program provided me with in depth knowledge concerning a broad array of aspects applicable to today's IT work environment. In addition to studying through the use of current textbooks and online curriculums, I was afforded the opportunity to configure devices identical to those the Corporation I now work for utilizes. I feel obtaining a Bachelor's Degree from FHSU further benefited me, as I have been informed those with an Associates Degree often get pushed aside. Overall, I am wholly satisfied with the INT program, and feel the staff genuinely cares about furthering your potential and future successes."
