Bachelor’s+ in Data Science & Business Analytics

Making a choice of any kind, especially one that could shape the course of your career and life, is never easy. I recall being in the exact same position just over a year and a half ago, filled with uncertainty and questions about which path to take. Looking back now, I can confidently say that choosing Forward College was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Had I stayed in my home country, I don’t believe I would have experienced the same level of personal and academic growth. At Forward, I’ve had the chance to meet people from all over the world, each bringing their own unique perspectives and experiences. This diversity has not only enriched my understanding of different cultures but also helped me grow as a person. What sets Forward apart, though, is the sense of openness and support. It’s a place where curiosity is encouraged, and where you genuinely feel comfortable approaching your professors: whether it’s to ask a question, share an idea, or simply have a conversation. That kind of learning environment is rare, and it’s made all the difference for me.
