Carol Folks Student at This School - Grad Year 2014
Mostly the school is OK for younger students, not so much for non-traditional students. Also no extra support for students struggling in Math. Math program not good, unless you are strong in Math. Most memorable experience being appointed to the Criminal Justice Honor Society, For prospective students be sure you have your math classes knocked out before you get to Washburn.
