There's a close relationship between the faculty and the students. If you need help, you can just reach out, and they’ll respond.
Jieying “Jay” Chen, ’23, Computer Science

[The professors] prepared us throughout college and set us up with the tools that we need to succeed. It helped me secure a good job and I thank my professors for that.
Quin’Sean Owens, ’23, Computer Science

I’ve met a lot of amazing people and have had a lot of great experiences at PNW, and I’m very happy I chose to come here.
Chad Jamrock, Computer Science, ‘23

I chose to attend PNW for the opportunity to play soccer at the Division II level and because of the course catalog of Computer Science.
Pau Aran, Computer Science, ‘23

I came into college with barely any knowledge on what computer science truly was and have thrived.
Sara Wenzel, Computer Science, 2022

The smaller campus community gave me lots of opportunities to connect with students and faculty. It helped prepare me for my future career and truly gave me the information I need to work in the industry.
