Student Ratings
Alysha Steele Student at This School - Grad Year 2013
Classes are great and professors are very helpful. I love the class sizes.
Nina Yuen Alumnus - Grad Year 2005
The class sizes were usually 20-30 students, therefore the professors were able to get to know you on a personal level. SCU wants their students to be well-rounded so there are a lot of courses that they want you to take outside of your major. SCU has an evaluation program that students have access to in obtaining feedback on the professor, class, and workload which is useful when selecting classes for the next quarter.
