"When I began my UC degree, I was still forming a view of the career path I would take. After completing it, I felt like I was equipped with the confidence, skills and knowledge to begin my career in the marketing industry. This degree was a major factor in my rapid rise to Partner at The Mark Agency, and I actively look to employ UC students today."
