Dallas College

Student Experience: Crichton Odom III

“The Cyber Security program at Richland has allowed me to follow my love for digital technology. Although I have a bachelor’s degree in information technology, I have been interested in obtaining a deeper understanding of the field. 

“This program is so much more than what I have learned in my previous degree studies. It provides me with an understanding that my information technology degree could not. With the training and instruction provided in the Cyber Security program, I am becoming a skilled digital forensics professional.” 

Crichton Odom III earned a bachelor’s degree in information technology from the University of Phoenix and is working toward an associate degree from Richland. His current job in technical support and customer service at Orametrix, a 3-D dental imaging company, is to resolve issues on company products that relate to software, networking and configurations.

“It’s nice to be able to go to classes every day and know that everything you learn in class you can apply in the field. Hands down, I don’t know that you could do better in a two-year Digital Forensics program than at Richland College.”
