Graduated here in 2015. Small classes, teachers realIy care for their students, and I love how students can work here too! I absolutely love this place-its like a small family, I was sad to go. I spent four years here doing my pre-reqs for nursing. Only thing is there isn't a lot of classes offered here so I had to go to other colleges while still going here. Another thing is I had to do everything on my own. When I first started thinking about nursing I didn't know where to start and what I had to do. All I knew was that I wanted to go straight for my bachelor's. One of the advisors sent me to go talk to the nursing dept. All the nursing advisor (she no longer works there) was trying to do is convince me to do the LPN program. Once I told her that I wasn't interested in that, that I needed help with what pre-reqs to take, what schools had BSN programs, etc she told me she couldn't help me at all! From that moment on, I had to do my own research -look for schools, what classes to take, how to apply, which required teas test. I even had students interested in nursing come up to me to help them with the process. Overall, it's a great college in the middle of the city..only thing, give some direction to students. There are other transfer universities besides UMKC.
