Paul Minninger, MBA, Master of Professional Studies in Data Analytics
I had an enriching experience at Penn State Great Valley. It was a mix of classroom knowledge along with the real-world implementation at the Nittany AI Challenge. This university-wide competition gave me the opportunity to connect with bright and driven people who were very helpful and guided us in every possible way towards our victory. The administration and staff from the Great Valley campus were equally helpful and encouraging in this journey.
Akanksha Anand, Master of Data Analytics
This is my third degree. I have a bachelor's and master's from India and then this second master's. But I always say this is the only course that I really enjoyed. There was no subject that I did not enjoy at all, and most of the credit goes to the professors, because of the way they go over the material. It’s really nice and interactive.
