    This school falsely advertises itself as a " get into a career in as little as 10 months". You are charged over $20000 for a subpar education from very unprofessional staff that have no idea how to teach. The school is not accredited. The bother you after you graduate asking what job you get and it didn't seem like it matters to them if it is field related or not. They will contact you and ask you if you want to go back for more education.

    Absolutely terrible communication. Do not attend! Shortly after being accepted into my program I found out I was pregnant. I was assured that it would not affect my classes/schedule. I even scheduled an induction on the Friday of my final exam week to better align and not miss any. I went into labor unexpectedly the week of finals on a Tuesday. I notified my professor and program director and was assured everything would be fine. Then I was contacted the day after I had my child and told I needed to go take my finals in person on Thursday just two days after I gave birth. I had not even been released from the hospital to go home by my doctor. The only other option I was given was to file a leave of absence in order to complete the finals at a later date. I never once received any paperwork for this leave of absence but was assured I was on it. During this whole process I have emailed and called about ****** times all while taking care of a newborn and have gotten responses once, maybe twice. I finally was able to take my finals a week after giving birth. I then was told by my instructor my finals would have 20% deducted because of being late. I now have been battling with them again because the grades have not been updated and still show an F. My status at the college is showing withdrawn and this has revoked my financial aid. The lack of compassion and discrimination I have experienced is unlike any other. Not only that but the only option I was given for places to pump for after I had my child was a bathroom which I know to be illegal. Do not attend this college!
