“The professors are always there for me when I need help, and they give me suggestions on how to improve my work, which will make me better prepared when I do ultimately transfer to a four-year university.”
"My teachers kept encouraging me. They helped me catch up on everything while I was in the hospital. With their help, I still graduated on time. They were all very supportive, and I appreciated that.”
“I feel more disciplined, and I feel a sense of pride. As moms, we sometimes forget who we are. I’m taking a moment for Tiffany. I’m investing in myself, and it feels good.”
“It’s accelerated, which I thought would be good for me. I can also do everything online, which makes it much easier for me to go to school and still work.”
We offer classes in the evening and on the weekend, and we can work around your schedule.
You can also attend online at a time that works the best for you and your schedule!
