"I had no experience with coding before college; Gordon helped me start from the ground up to become someone who can do the job and do it at a good level. Some of the extracurricular courses at Gordon related to the computer science major challenged and taught me the most, like internet programming and mobile programming. These courses were project-based, with huge projects to do on your own, from beginning to end. That’s how I work now at a real job."
