Q: What are some of the outcomes or benefits you have already gained from your time at Duquesne? (things like internships, off-campus academic experiences...)
A: In my first year, I had the opportunity to start and be a board member of the Duquesne tech lab with some of my senior colleagues, they showed me a lot, and together we worked throughout this project for a year and a half.
Also, last summer, I had the opportunity to work at my dream summer internship in one of the biggest banks of Latin America, where I worked in the Data Analytics area and grew so much personally and professionally.

Q: Why do you like studying in Pittsburgh?
A: I really like Pittsburgh because it is a small, beautiful, and friendly city. Everyone I meet here is really warm-hearted and they always willing to help when I’m in need. Moreover, Pittsburgh is a good place to live and study because the living costs here is affordable to students. Students from Vietnam, especially those that prefer a friendly and peaceful environment for studying, will enjoy the city and Duquesne.

Q: How would you describe the academic experience at Duquesne?
A: Awesome. Most of my classes only have 10-20 students, which guaranteed that professors could help me more individually. All faculties and processors are very kind, and they all care about students' study/life/personal development. Without their help, I couldn't make it so smoothly. Besides, as a graduate student, the discussion is extremely common. My classmates and peers definitely inspired me a lot in this study journey.
Q: What are some of the outcomes or benefits you have already gained from your time at Duquesne? (things like internships, off-campus academic experiences...)
A: My program requires 700 internship hours to graduate, which provides me an opportunity to practice what I learned from the classroom into real-world work. With this valuable experience, I am confident of my capability after four years of study at Duquesne. My internship site will actually offer me a job after my graduation. I am pleased about what I achieved and the outcomes of my time at Duquesne.
