Throughout the four years that I have been at Stout, I have been amazed by the opportunities I have had both on and off campus. The hands on experience that Stout provides has be essential to my learning and success. The ITM program fully utilizes this hands-on approach and provides a great blend of technical and professional skills. This means that as a student, you gain the technical skills to build networks, deploy servers, setup phone systems and more, while gaining leadership, management and communication skills that are essential in a professional environment. To me, this blend is what makes the ITM program at Stout so unique and valuable.
Because of these experiences, I have been able to work in two different internships, gain industry certifications, compete and succeed at national competitions, and ultimately receive a great job offer nine months prior to graduation. The faculty, administrators, and staff all want to see students to succeed and take every chance they can to support students. While I certainly enjoyed my education at Stout, I know that my experience is not unique. If you have an interest in technology, UW-Stout's ITM program is definitely the way to go.
