I would recommend the Cybersecurity Master's at Kennesaw State due to the transferable skills it taught me. This program also has helped me grow in self-confidence.

The program provided me with two cybersecurity internship opportunities, three internship offers for the Fall semester, and a job offer six months before graduation. Before starting the program, I had no prior jobs in tech.

Initially, I doubted my abilities, especially given the fast-paced nature of the courses, but over time, I became more confident. The program has transformed me into a leader who is not only capable of navigating complex problems but also guiding others through them.
