When reading this, keep in mind that this is a private institution with four other campuses w/ the company spreading themselves thinner w/ each campus they establish.It feels like a overall community with the students and professors here. I enjoy being in class with a good amount of my professors. Wonderful school, equipment, and professors, it’s a little getting better each trimester as they listen to feedback. Covid-19 is just one of those things that has made the experience that more challenging both for me and for them. It’s unfortunate to not return to fully on-campus learning to protect assets. I recommend not choosing here if accepted elsewhere if you want what you’re paying over $100,000 for to be worth it. It was a challenge feeling like most key things were worth the investment.Overall, there just needs to be something done to continue to promote clear and concise communication. Maybe a flaw lies where most faculty and admins are spreading themselves thin by doing more than they are reasonably capable of doing in and outside their jobs. Examples include having multiple roles/classes, pursuing a doctorate or PhD education for a raise or to learn more, etc. This means that they’ll be either unavailable or under distress and therefore unable to spend enough comfortably-fair time to have in-class discussion. We feel responsible to remember to remind them to respond, often. And when they do, their responses are short and unclear and leave us wondering if they assumed to understand us. With short time and energy, assumptions and frustrations abound.Everyone’s time and energy is so spread thin; this is concerning to represent as a graduate school. All agree that we feel like there’s always someone dropping the ball with communication and it’s quite difficult to find clear and concise info on their website.Not every course or professor is clear or s organized; we have to spend an extra amount of time outside studies working with others to understand what to do, how to find everything, what conflicts with our schedule, what they expect from us, etc. and I get it is our responsibility to bring these up, but it’s frustrating that this has been happening for years! BUT if you have a professor that is clear about expectations from day 1, you’ll have an amazing experience and be more effective in your learning pursuits for that course!Regardless of professor, there are courses that took everyone such a long time to get our heads wrapped around because of a lack of fundamental structure or clear expectations in key areas that they still don’t get—especially for a graduate school. It was unfortunate to see how misunderstood we felt with our frustrations for these courses: Just ask ANYONE about EIP 1, PIP 1, GA 1+2–expect to be mostly on your own with these. It’s not about liking the material or teacher as much as feeling like you’re able to understand what’s clearly expected of you to study/submit in assignments. These courses are overdue for successful outcomes.Now, don’t get me wrong; although this particular branch has some fundamental improvements to make, they’re improving in all areas—even if it’s one trimester at a time. Now, I’d rather the people changing those elements were more apt to improve their listening/communication/time management skills. But in all, we’re all handling some big challenges right now with 2020/21. They do the best they can and have— for the most part—recognized that we are, too!They have some kinks to work out, but I enjoyed it here either way. You’ll see plenty of positives as they were my first choice for a reason! I appreciate their SWAG, beautiful campus, updated equipment/rooms! Very grateful to work with many wonderful professors who are actively working in their fields, who care about you, and who do so much to help their students succeed. You’ll like it here but now you’re at least a little more prepared to expect to find some—we’d say—unreasonable kinks. Just don’t let it get to you if you can help it. Find what works for you, stick to, and improve it over time.

Love being a student here! I am currently going through their OTD program and I love it! The faculty are nice and knowledgeable, the facilities are modern and up-to-date, and the campus is small, creating an intimate feel and connection.
