What graduates are saying about AD at NSC

 Steven Wang   
 Amazon

"The real work I do at Amazon is project based, so having that experience from North Seattle College's Application Development program is really an advantage. Working well on a team and getting that practice in North's fully accredited AD program gave me a lot of confidence. My time at North was truly the best educational investment I could have made, and it has provided me and my family life-changing mobility. I wouldn't be where I am today without my North Seattle College experience." - Steven Wang, NSC Application Development Grad

 Deya Taupier

“Instructors in North Seattle College’s Application Development program taught me how to use ideas and apply them to real world problems. I was able to gain experience with a major internship, and not only did I learn about different technologies, but I felt supported by staff and encouraged to grow as a person. Today, I’m a software developer team lead by trade and North Seattle College alumnus by heart. Go Tree Frogs!” - Deya Taupier, NSC Application Development Grad

"Being a student of the Application Development program at NSC gave me a fundamental understanding of programming, algorithms, and how to come up with creative solutions for complex problems. The AD program at NSC allowed me to get a quality internship, and get hired by the same company after my internship was complete.  The instructors and staff were great in helping guide me through changing careers, and equipping me with the fundamental knowledge of what it takes to make it in the software industry." - Darcey Tatum, NSC Application Development Grad
