REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingThe classroom sizes for all the classes I took had at most 20 students in them at one time. The smaller sized classes really helped me learn more and connect with my proffesors more too.
Derek from Forsyth, MT
Classroom sizes are small and manageable. This enables professors to take advantage of one-on-one learning. There are many resources around campus which help when having difficulty in a class. Professors are patient when a student does not understand a concept and are therefore willing to work with the student outside of class. I was able to connect and create a relationship with my professors and also the other students in my classes.
