I like that SAU Tech is close to home and that I am able to help out the community and school. This program gives me the opportunity to work in the medical field without performing the more involved medical tasks that make me uncomfortable. I have also been able to make friends.

I chose this program because I wanted to be more knowledgeable about Microsoft Office and obtain a career involving healthcare. If you're a non-traditional student like I was or just someone a little skeptical about starting school, SAU Tech will be a great choice. They have tutors and fellow students that can help you. Every instructor I had showed me they cared about me succeeding.
