Testimonials

“Seneca gave me the hands-on opportunity to start my career in software engineering. After my first semester, I was able to find a part-time job working in the field off of the Seneca job board, and from there I had everything I needed to be successful. Without the hands-on application of how to code and organize projects, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
