Academics

I find the classes both challenging and enjoyable. Due to the higher student-to-teacher ratio, the professors are able to give much more personalized instruction, and they care not only about your academic success, but your mental, physical, and spiritual wellbeing as well. You can come to them with any problem, regardless of whether or not it has anything to do with their class. It is a refreshing atmosphere to study in, and one that makes it easy to want to throw all your energy into the projects.

Sterling can be difficult or rather easy depending on the program your in. The content was much more difficult than high school but I did better at Sterling because of the small class sizes and the fact that I had professors that were willing to work with me.

The classes are hard, but the teachers are not only extremely qualified, but available to have personal connections with students because of the size of classes. I have had beneficial homework and no busy work to keep me on task toward achieving my goals.

Academics here at Sterling. They want to see you succeed and have a future set for you before leaving the college. They will help in every way possible to help you with anything that you need help with.

The Athletic Trainers program is the most rigorous here; my roommate is in it as a Freshman, and she has to apply to continue in it. Many of the other programs, like the Education programs, have GPA standards; for most, it is 2.7 or higher, depending on which program you are enrolled in.

The classes are intense but with 5-25 people in an average class you get unlimited amount with your professor. Your professors also do begin to know you on a personal basis and then they only want the best for you and to help.
