“Because of my prior military service, I dealt with crypto a lot, TDL, and cybersecurity was a big part of that. (The Cybersecurity and Networking major) is for somebody that wants to try and make a difference - trying to stop scamming and hackers.” ~ Nathaniel Nole ’27
IT Director, Innomark Communications
"I have been in IT for 29 years and wanted to have the degree to back up my skills and experience. Also, I manage a team of developers and wanted to know more about what is required for that role to better manage that team."
System Engineer, Forward Edge
"The degree gave me an edge. Someone with a high school diploma would start at a lower-level position and lower pay. It takes them longer to catch up to the worker with a degree. I started as a system engineer immediately. It would take them several years of working to get to that level."
IT Support Specialist, Medpace
"There’s so many directions you could go in IT. After my classes at Miami, I knew I wanted to specialize in software. But that’s because I had the chance to be exposed to so many aspects of IT in school.
“Watching and working with the professors at Miami Regionals inspired me to become a compassionate and adept instructor in the future myself."
League of Legends, Assistant Coach for TSM
“Since my family always encouraged me to get a college education, I felt that I had the path right in front of me; finish my IT degree at Miami University [RegIonals] while continuing my personal research and learning about soccer at its developmental and professional level.”
Cincinnati Financial, Client Services Analyst
"I have some technical experience, but I also love working face to face with people and communicating. Agile provided a perfect mix that I think matched my personality and skill set."
