I liked the format of the courses in CyberGIS & Geospatial Data Science—weekly labs/assignments and a final project. The format provides an avenue for hands-on learning. The instructors are very approachable. They are quick to resolve any issues faced during the course and are very accommodating of student requirements.

Being part of the Translation & Interpreting program provided opportunities for networking with fellow students, professors, and professionals in the field. It also benefited me by enhancing my language proficiency, cultural competence, specialized knowledge, and professional skills, as well as providing support for continuous improvement in my career.

Through Weather and Climate Risk & Data Analytics, I developed and applied a broad range of technical and analytical skills. But more than the tools and methods, this degree represents resilience, purpose, and clarity. It’s a reminder that progress isn’t always loud—it’s often quiet, hard-fought, and deeply personal.

Whether you are just starting out in the industry or have 15+ years of experience, for any environmental professionals looking to advance their careers or gain additional knowledge, I highly recommend Environmental Geology. I am incredibly grateful for the course work I have had the opportunity to experience and the outstanding faculty at the University of Illinois.
