What Students Are Saying
the campus is beautiful and there are so many helpful students and staff (and plus all of the student programs they offer!). there are plenty of ways to get involved on campus through clubs or greek life or even a job on campus. the academics are a little harder (i'm a pre-vet major), but i can honestly say that i look forward to every class that i get to take here!

The motto: Learn by Doing. It is not just a promotion tactic to convince students to apply or attend. CPP is very adamant about maintaining and does a great job on its emphasize on the subject.
