Computer science student at Lindenwood UniversityOne of my greatest loves is learning, so I knew I wanted to further my education. I chose Computer Science (BS) as my major with a minor in Mathematics. Lindenwood University offered exactly what I was seeking. Class sizes are on the smaller side, so instructor-student relationships feel more personal and peers better recognize each other. The majority of my professors were very patient and helpful -often working late nights or even over the weekends! I am grateful for my experiences, knowledge, lessons, and relationships developed at Lindenwood University.
