What Current Students Say See All 13 Comments >

I think what makes our program so unique is the professional yet comfortable feel that you get walking into the school. Structurally it's a very sound program with many hard-working professionals that strive to put every student in a better position than they were in yesterday. There aren't too many fancy designs in the school or any flashy banners or architecture; which I believe represents a program focuses on its output and not it's appearance. Plus it is arguably the best business program in Connecticut and perhaps a bit further into New England. The program makes every student feel welcome and that's what truly fosters learning.
