Academics

the academic environment is quite good. the professors expect you to work hard and be responsible for you own work and assignments. they will, however, help you if you ask for their assistance.

You will be challenged in all areas, yet supported. You take 3 classes each quarter, so it's easier to stay focused. The accelerated 3 year program allows you to save money or gives you the option for your master's degree in four years, still being eligible for scholarship.

Since many of the students are planning to graduate in 3 years, through the ReImagine program, there are new classes every 8 weeks. This new system can be challenging for students who are taking 18 credits per semester. The workload is hard, but definitely doable.

The difficulty of the college depends of your major and the courses you take each semester. Last year, I took twelve courses. Most of those courses demanded a lot of studying and reading. After graduation, students will find out that they have only really gained from what they invested into their coursework. If they do not study, they will not profit much from their classes. After studying, there is plenty of time to do recreational activities and games.

The 8 week class schedule is rough. Not because the professors are mean, they're all great! It's just that you really need to study to make sure you retain the same amount of information from the classes. I'm a Psychology major, and the best professors in the psych department are Edgington and Graham. If you're visiting try to sit in on one of their classes.

The classes are challenging and the teachers are here to help you!

Many students are completing four years worth of college in just three years making it very academically rigorous.
