"Studying at St. Joseph’s University has been a great experience. I received a scholarship from being part of the NYPD. The class sizes are small and the campus is beautiful. The professors have been very approachable, and knowledgeable, and are very up-to-date with cyber security. They get on our level and are always willing to help anyone. Speaking as someone who is an adult learner, and has to go to work every day, that’s a very attractive quality for a professor to have."
