The Tepper School administration always takes students鈥 opinions into account regarding professors and workshops, and 鈥渁ctively works to include programming that we want鈥 while removing undesired programming. 鈥淕iven the small size, if you want to start or change something about the school, it鈥檚 pretty easy to do,鈥 says a student.

They try to incorporate recent trends into their course materials, and students feel they are 鈥渟etting the state of the technology, not talking about it.鈥 鈥淭he academic experience has been challenging but there were so many resources available to enable my success,鈥 sums up a student.
