“One thing that you should know about Bryant is that we have a really strong career services center. So as for me, I came in as a finance major, but mentally I was really undecided. But after a 30 minute consultation with the career coaches in the career center, I narrowed down my major and I ended up switching from finance to data science.â€

“With the help of the Amica Center for Career Education, I've been able to secure an internship with a top law firm, Hinckley, Allen and Snyder. As a legal intern, I was able to shadow real attorneys and work with other legal professionals. Seeing my work applied in real life situations allowed me to see how well prepared I am for the future.â€
