Student Success Stories
"My experience at Ontario Tech University has been academically rewarding. As a student enrolled in the Digital Media specialization, I have had the opportunity to learn the latest technical skills, such as development for mobile devices and interactive web-based applications. The small class sizes enable students to closely interact with instructors. Professors at Ontario Tech offer enriching research positions to students, which has personally led me to pursue Graduate Studies."
- Brittany Kondo, BSc Computing Science, class of 2012; finalist for the 2012 Google Anita Borg Memorial Scholarship; MSc Computer Science, class of 2014; currently employed as an Interaction Designer at Uncharted Software.
"My time studying at Ontario Tech University remains a key component of who I am. The Computer Science program has taught me to fundamentally approach, evaluate and solve problems. The interaction with the professors and their sincere desire for my success was truly invaluable. As a direct result of their encouragement, I completed a 16-month work term at IBM. While there, I was able to apply and build upon what I had been taught. With both classroom and related work experience, I was able to secure a permanent position with a company when I graduate. Overall, I feel my time at Ontario Tech was a worthwhile investment for both personal and professional development."
