Student Ratings
Kathleen Pommerenke Student at This School - Grad Year 2013
There is an excellent variety of programs, you can really find almost whatever you want to study here. The professors are amazing, very willing to help and are great academic resources. Since it is smaller, the class sizes are beneficial to getting that more personalized education, which is really great going into professional life.
Patricia Mansker Student at This School - Grad Year 2013
The general ed classes are usually pretty full, and have around 1-200 students in them. Once you get into your degree program, the classes are much smaller and you have more of the instructors attention. You can take classes online and in person, the online classes cost more but it is convenient if you work to manage your classes that way. Be warned, though: Math classes are tough, and the professors teach fast.
