Students in CBIT are required to hold themselves accountable for their work, this is to have a strong sense of personal responsibility and integrity. This expectation is implemented so that every student ensures the highest quality of work, and continues striving for improvement.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They are encouraged to collaborate for everyone’s benefit. This idea of collaboration recognizes success; the success of one is tied to the success of all. This collaboration and urge for high quality create an environment that strengthens and builds our connections with one another, which drives progress and innovation<\/p>\n
