Academics

My experience may be slightly swayed because I'm a media arts student and my first semester included a communication skills course, a math course, intro to psychology, and an art and a video course. So, the communication skills class was the only traditionally rigorous course (assignments and papers), while the art courses were a drawing per week or the production elements of a project. But, from my experience in my first week of my second semester, I'm seeing that this will be a more rigorous set or courses for me. So, it varies but overall the work can be a challenge, but I don't believe it could ever bury you. And in any such case, we offer free tutoring services.

I have been challenged in all of my classes.

The University offers lower level and accelerated courses, on top of its regular courses. I'm in the honors program, and I feel like the course load challenges me enough without being overwhelming. I really appreciate the care that the department heads take in designing the curriculum for every course! However, the school places a lot of emphasis on online access codes. They aren't always needed, and they can get a little pricey.

almost every professor is absolutely wonderful, but you need to watch out for the occasional part-time professor that isn't as good as he or she could be. stick with professors with a proven track record.
