Say About Us
Sundance College’s instructors provided daily support and numerous job opportunities.
Just received my diploma and transcript last week, and I start work as a patient care coordinator after my practicum thanks to Sundance Career Services. Thanks to Sundance College for my success, especially to my instructors who are so kind, supportive, and eager to help. The lessons are engaging and useful. I have learned so much in my MOA-HUC course. As a student, you feel pushed to learn and try out new competencies while feeling safe and supported in doing so. You also gain valuable feedback in the process. The instructors are amazing at what they do! Their passion and dedication are beyond words.
