The professors really care that you are involved in class and that you benefit from class time as much as possible. There are so many resources that students can take advantage of which makes it very possible to succeed as long as you want to.

Coe has small class sizes, and the Professors really care about each student, you can't match this in a large University. Every class I am enrolled in here at Coe is enriching and has opened my eyes to new possibilities and new frontiers of learning.
Jaime from Arvada, CO
I visited around ten schools and Coe won in terms of classwork hands down. Nowhere else did teachers seem as caring and students as engaged as here, even in more expensive, prestigious liberal arts schools.
Natasha from N Muskegon, MI
Coe is a great place to plug in and make new connections. The professors here give a lot of personalized attention and actually care, and there are lots of incredible opportunities. You receive a great education by having a lot of fun,

Everyone here is very welcoming and they do their very best to make it your home away from home. The campus is on the smaller side, but the perfect fit for someone who is looking for a small campus. I would recommend this college to any of my friends that is looking to get a great degree.
