Instructors and tech support are amazing people. If you are thinking of going here using your education benefits, don't. They didn't have what I wanted but something close to it so I chose that. I was told it was $3200 a month and there was a campus close to me. Signed on only to find out that the closest campus that I could attend was 2 hrs away and the rates dropped to $2200 a month. Since then it has been $1800 a month. Also, they close campuses, switch classes, and change things up so much it seems like no one has any idea what is actually happening. The programs they use (like McGraw hill) for classes are so bad the instructors will change homework assignments. They have problems with their website. One assignment was to upload a 3 minute video. Their website can't handle anything over 25mb, the 3 minute video being 129mb. I had to call tech support and they had me download a program to compress files. Despite so many other things I'll leave with saying that your first week of class you need to get the homework done before the first in class session. Despite the "starting date" posted on the home page you are actually expected to start the homework the week prior, IF the class page opens for you. Save the tech support number.
