“I was able to get my degree in two years; upon receiving it [I] was promoted to Systems Engineer Level II at my job. Having the degree has allowed me to be viewed as a leader in the department and a reliable engineer. I have been given more authority and tasked as a lead systems engineer on multimillion dollar projects for our NASA customer. In essence, the degree has allowed me to move up in my position sooner than anticipated and is paying off with getting promotions at my job.”
