Say About Us
Very close to graduating, and so very thankful for this school providing online classes. I could never attend in class school with my full-time work schedule and being a parent, but I was able to keep up every day on my own time. I definitely had some favorite professors that made my college experience all the more better. Thanks Sundance.
