I was pleasantly surprised to find that there were opportunities to learn from working professionals, classes had more interaction than a traditional classroom, and I was able to tailor my career goals from several courses taken and advice given by MCTP (now MITS) professors.” --Nicole Davis, project manager in eBusiness at HSBCBank USA

"The interviewers were really impressed and surprised by the policy track that I had taken during my grad studies. My new job is literally going to encompass all aspects of telecommunications, which reinforces the fact that MCTP (now MITS) has prepared me for the job market and my AT&T job as well." --Ritesh Sabharwahl, leaving AT&T to become Sr. Network Analyst at Columbian Telecommunications Corporation
