What Current Students Say See All 17 Comments >

It is a very well rounded program that leaves the student in charge to either learn the material or not. The teachers are always there for assistance if a student were to need it but for the most part the workload and even watching lectures or going to class is left up to the student. The student has to WANT to learn to do well in our program and I think that is what makes our program so successful and unique.
