Never had a problem out of the 2 1/2 yrs I attended receiving my BOS Degree. Definitely will consider going back to receive my Masters Degree.

Do NOT go here!! If you are a DC student the clinic system is terrible. Unless you have a ton of friends and family that are willing to come in and pay to be your patient then good luck. Clinic is a popularity contest so unless you brown nose your way through it’s tough.

They are great at selling how wonderful they are. But it is, unfortunately, a front. The administration doesn't listen to student (or faculty) concerns-they pretend to listen. The clinic experience is a nightmare. Little training and high requirements. Clinic is only good if you've already been a CA or run your own business.
