The Entrepreneur
The MCS in Chicago program has been pivotal to my growth as a software engineer and an entrepreneur. It gave me the flexibility to continue advancing my CS education at a school I already knew and loved, while immersing myself in Chicago’s vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem. The hybrid classes allowed me to build meaningful relationships with my peers and professors—something I missed during the pandemic. This program has given me the best of both worlds.
