"I have finally made it into the "real world".

I've been at my new job with Deloitte for more than a month now.  I am really enjoying it so far.  They are an outstanding company. 

It’s funny though to compare our program at Arkansas to the education my peers have received. 

Few of the new hires have not even heard of the tools we used, let alone have any clue on how to use them. 

I don't think I appreciated the quality of education I was receiving at the time, but it is now becoming more and more obvious."

Video Transcript

"The degree I received at the Walton College Information Systems department has prepared me for the "real world" at Tyson Foods, Inc. by providing abundant education about systems analysis and development.

The level of information and technology tools used in the classes has done more than enough to prepare me for life outside of the university. 

I believe my experience at the University of Arkansas gave me a competitive advantage over other ISYS undergraduates from other universities."
