"Enrolling in this program was one of the most transformational decisions I have ever made. I went into the course as a complete novice to UX, and by the end, I had complete confidence in my ability as a UX professional, and had a wealth of resources and connections to support me long after. The quality of teachers and content throughout this program is phenomenal, can’t recommend it enough!" – Kish Parikh
"This program has given me so much experience, helped me feel confident about performing as a UX designer, connections, and just overall love for the field."
"I didn’t know what UX even was [when I started the program, but] I left feeling like I found a purpose for my life."
"I am coming into UX from a non-design background. I had a lot to learn in a short amount of time. The teachers at the UX Design program went out of their way to help me understand the concepts covered and the tools I would need to use to do the job. They met with me and my team outside of class and always made themselves available for questions."
