She picked Penn State Great Valley for its cutting-edge teaching on technology, and upon graduation Meghana Basetty was the pick of three information science employers.
“Recruiters want you to know a little bit of everything,” Basetty said. “I feel like my courses prepared me for this. I acquired different skills and understandings of a variety of technologies, applications, and software. I’m grateful to the Enrollment and Student Services team for helping me navigate my job search.”
Of the three job offers since graduating with a Penn State Great Valley master’s degree in December, Basetty chose to pursue a Salesforce developer role for Thomson Reuters’ corporate transition to Clarivate Analytics. There, she believes she’ll be able to implement fresh ideas and the latest tech.
“I was impressed with the curriculum,” she said. “Information science is an emerging field, and Penn State Great Valley’s courses focused on the latest technology. The courses were not stagnant; they were updated with new information as things changed and progressed.”
