“Through my time in the program, I met and engaged with friends, colleagues and a professional network that I will carry for the rest of my life. I learned valuable lessons about the field and gained technical expertise I would have never otherwise received from my academic degree. I would recommend this program to anyone seeking to elevate their passion for research and accelerate their personal development.”
