REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingAlthough some of my classes are difficult, they are very insightful and I enjoy attending the classes. It's one thing when you dread going to a class, but its another when you actually want to attend the class.
Shelbi from Keithville, LA
This is a great school for you students who want to spend less money. The tuition for each semester ranges from $2,000-3200. Which is fairly cheap. It is a school BIG on academics so that can be a plus for some students.
