-What makes our school unique is a combination of the strong placement, small school feeling, affordability and quality of the education. It really is special how we were able to have access to all of the above characteristics all in one program. Typically you give up one for the other, etc. Career services recognizes or logistical disadvantages and goes above and beyond to account for those factors. I was part of the Henry Fund Portfolio Team. The dollar size of our fund and quality of faculty guidance really is great. Accordingly our fund is very well respected.
