Overall 4.2
This school is small but has amazing instructors who are genuinely concerned about whether you learn or not, my class size for the graduate program I am in is 16 students and it is a very good learning environment. There is a lot of hands-on learning and interaction. Great school! Kari is such an amazing advisor who is a very passionate professor!

A real but knock off college, could be comparable to the Charter School. A couple good professors out of 100. Many issues with this school. 1. The schedules/classes/teachers are make it up as we go. The teachers take the job 2 days before bringing teaching the class so nothing is prepared/explained.
