I have earned both my Bachelor’s Degree (in Networking) and Master’s Degree (MBA in Information System) at City Unity College.… I feel like all the time spent there was well invested. I was able to immediately apply all the knowledge gained to my profession (I was employed during my years of studies). This was also feasible because all of my professors were professionals already working for many years in their field. For this, I am utmost grateful to City Unity College, for selecting them, and to each one of them personally. To this day, I make use of everything I learned there over the years, both businesswise and technically. Read more “Panayotis Kotsadam”

Regarding my studies at City Unity College, I strongly believe that it has provided me a solid guidance how to… organize my studies from the beginning until I have completed both my degrees. The diversity among the students in every class, the group assignments have significantly provided me the basis in critical thinking and have widened my personal view on every course. Along with the guidance from all the professional personnel and the counseling from the professors, it has empowered me to build a strong educational background and prepared me for my future position in the professional world. By covering both the Technical and the Business & Management part in the IT area, this has enabled me to be able to apply to many various positions, both technical and business oriented.
