I graduated with a BA in Art Education and later went on to get my credential to teach art. Let me go ahead and say STAY AWAY FROM THE COLLEGE OF ED. They hype themselves about being the best campus, but they are by far one of the WORST organized campuses I have been in. You have to deliver all your paperwork to them because they have no clue how to set a system in place to transfer paperwork from one building to another even though THEY ARE ON THE SAME CAMPUS. Every friend of mine who has gone through the credential program has had some issues which has postponed not one, but two of my friends education. The campus never communicates with you and even when you go to ask administration, they swear like they sent the information to you which is absolute bull. When my friend and I finally were able to complete the program, they did not even have a ceremony for the students that graduated. "They will email you to let you know if your credential got approved, have a nice life...good luck on your own." I have another friend right now who is struggling just to get in even though we warned her about the disorganization of that campus. She got a last minute notice AFTER she submitted her PAF to the college that she did not even have her degree yet because these people who have specific jobs don't even know how to do it. I guess they just sit around all day and get paid while other students get screwed out of starting school. Now because of their fault at not giving her a heads up they expect her to pay 2700 up front before she can register for classes? Who's fault is that? I find it so sad they can take advantage of the students who are just trying to get an education. Sad to say that is the business of College. Just a bunch of money hungry people who don't give a damn about your education.
