A Conversation with Megan Eker

What was your degree, and has it been beneficial to your career path?

My degree was in Visual Communications. I was interested in computer graphics and animation, but I learned about a variety of things; such as web design, which is what I ended up getting a job in. I feel like this is a degree I can do many different things with.

A Conversation with Amanda Placencia

Do you believe your employer sees your degree from Westwood as an added benefit in having you as an employee?

Definitely! The one thing my new employer liked about me was the fact that I knew how to operate some of their design programs. This is certainly beneficial to them since it saves time when there are design changes and I can quickly fix it instead of waiting for the creative team to find time.

A Conversation with Kathleen Wyatt

If you were to tell someone else the three main reasons you would recommend Westwood College Online, what would they be?

I felt like I could voice my thoughts to help make improvements and I was listened to. I enjoyed being a peer tutor for 2 ½ years, and it was great being one of the original 12 students to start and test out new programs. Sometimes being the only student in a course was good but it also made it difficult in some areas. Working with groups via email and chat towards the end was a good thing, it taught me to have more patience with people and how to work with them.
