Andrew Twitty

Andrew Twitty considers his time at Edinburgh to have contributed to his academic teaching career that has spanned from the traditional to the technological.

Your time at the University

I chose the University of Edinburgh because I had visited the city before and absolutely loved it. I had always planned to complete a graduate degree somewhere in the British system and chose Scotland because of the city and I have always been charmed by Scottish culture.

The many discussions we had about our courses in pubs throughout Edinburgh are some of my favourite experiences and I still maintain the friendships I made while at the University. 

My ability to teach can be attributed solely to my time spent at the University of Edinburgh and the qualifications I earned whilst there.

When I first returned to the United States I immediately began working on regional political campaigns. Simultaneously, I also began to teach at my undergraduate university, CBU (California Baptist University) in Riverside, CA in the Department of History and Government.

After marrying my wife, I switched from politics to the private sector and started working at an emerging growth company the start-up corporation Innovation Economy Corporation (ieCrowd). I continue to teach at CBU as an Adjunct Professor, but I have now moved from traditional courses to the Online and Professional Studies Department of History and Government where I continue to teach U.S. History and Politics courses. My ability to teach can be attributed solely to my time spent at the University of Edinburgh and the qualifications I earned whilst there.

Alumni wisdom
