Took longer to complete because I had a child during the early time I was enrolled. I also didn't opt for summer and winter courses which in turn I needed to do a couple extra semesters during regular term. I graduated with honors and over required amount of grade points to graduate. I took several computer classes. These classes gave me extra knowledge on all of the different Microsoft programs (excel, PowerPoint, doc, etc ) I also took a few classes on computer forensics. Coding and decoding hidden emails, etc.
