REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingWhen I visited they said the professors had a one year contract and if they weren't performing well that they were gone. The school also has many varying options of degrees and classes to take that cover a wide variety of interests.

Bianca from Detroit, MI
Some classes are easier than others, that's just how life is. Choose the right classes, put forth the effort, and you will be pleased with the results.
