Taking the BEST Certificate courses helped with my skill development and personal growth because the instructor came from different backgrounds and shared their experiences while teaching the courses. In addition, I was able to meet students that study Business and Law, learning from them about their own studies. Through the ENTR courses, I worked in teams quite a bit and got to my develop problem solving skills in a business mindset.

I would recommend the BEST Certificate to anybody who may want to be more than just an ‘engineer’ or ‘developer’ in the workforce. After taking the BEST Certificate courses, not only do I feel I improved my self-confidence & presentation skills and left the courses with a different perspective on the business world, but I unexpectedly am much more open to the possibility of creating my own business sometime in the future.

–Dennis Nevelev (Computer Science)

I would highly encourage students to take the BEST Certificate, specially for CS students, it’s important to understand IP—when to protect your work, what’s worth patenting, and when to just move fast and build. The BEST Certificate gives you the tools to take an idea from zero to launch, which you don’t always get from a standard CS program. If you’re even slightly interested in startups or tech innovation, it’s 100% worth it.

–Prabhjee Singh (Computer Science)

The BEST Certificate provides a unique opportunity to develop entrepreneurial and leadership skills while complementing technical expertise. The program is invaluable for those who aspire to innovate, lead teams, or start their own ventures. It also fosters a mindset of creativity and resilience, which is essential for tackling challenges in any career path.

–Prithviraj Keswani (Computer Engineering)

–Katia Kassabov (Bachelors of Engineering)

I can’t recommend the BEST certificate program enough to other students! It helped me make amazing friends who are both like-minded and different from me. This diversity of perspectives really broadens your understanding of various topics. The program also creates an environment that supports your goals and boosts your confidence among many other things.
