Undergraduate
Graduate
I loved the labs. The labs took everything I learned in class and put it into actual physical form. It’s a hands-on program where you attend lectures and then you go to lab and it’s exactly what you just studied.
All of the hands-on training I’m receiving at PNW is helping me narrow down exactly what I want to do once I graduate.
The classes are small, personal and hands-on, you’re able to build connections with your classmates and professors. If you have questions you can actually talk to the professors.
