Overall 1.3
Sadly, It is the only school that offers a distance program for Medical Lab Sciences. Professors have an attitude, do little actual teaching and take a long time to answer emails , then do not completely answer the questions. Overall the program & the school itself are disorganized and I expected much more for the price of tuition. Go elsewhere!

COPH "professors" are a joke. There are very few that understand the concept of teaching. It is very disappointing to want to learn, enroll in school, and to have such a poor academic setting. And to add more, they don't seem care a thing about changing. It is sad and disgraceful! If you can attend another university to get your MPH, then do so!

The medical laboratory science program leaves a lot to be desired. They expect you to be an expert on the material the minute they "teach" you, although there isn't much teaching going on. There's only 1 instructor that will actually help you. Absurd attendance policy. Grades are a straight scale (No +/-) with no curve
