The MS ITM program at UT Dallas has been a life-changing experience. As a Chemical Engineer with about 3 years of experience as an SAP Technical Consultant, UT Dallas’s Enterprise Systems track was the perfect fit for me. As a part of the SAP University Alliance, the courses of the Enterprise Systems track are designed to help students accumulate valuable technical skills currently in demand in the industry.
As the newsletter editor of SAP Users’ Group and the president of The Consulting Club, I got an opportunity to meet and learn from numerous industry experts and leaders. This not only helped me build a strong professional network but also provided me with a platform to hone my corporate skills.
I got an opportunity to work as an intern with Lam Research Corporation as a Data Analytics Developer working on latest SAP Technologies from Summer through Spring. I was also one of the four students chosen to represent UT Dallas at The SAP Co-innovation Event hosted by Deloitte Consulting. But the biggest achievement of all for me has been the foundation that UT Dallas provided me with to land my dream job at Deloitte Consulting starting in Summer ‘18 in their SAP Practice. I would not have been able to achieve this without the excellent UT Dallas curriculum and faculty members. I would especially like to thank Professor Lou Thompson for his constant guidance and support.
Finally, I would like to say that obtaining a formal Master’s degree in ITM from UT Dallas with a concentration in Enterprise Systems has helped me way beyond the classroom. I am extremely thankful to the entire staff and faculty of UT Dallas for designing such a wonderful program.
