"I don't feel as if my degree is prestigious enough to last though my entire career. I feel as if traditional schools offer a better education with cheaper tuition."
Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | no | I feel as if a traditional school would be better. I only chose it because it was much easier to schedule classes around work. |
| Program Reputation | 3 | I feel as if my school's reputation could be higher. I feel it is sub-par when compared to the education provided by a traditional school. |
| Program Quality | 3 | I would have gotten a better education from a traditional college. I feel as if some of my teachers were in it for a paycheck and did not care about our education. |
| Instruction | 4 | Some of my teachers were excellent. The main teacher in my degree program was not able to effectively communicate or educate. |
| How Difficult | 3 | I do not feel as if I was pushed. I also feel as if I would have been passed no matter what level of effort I put into school. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | My program had a lot of lab activities to go along with book learning. The lab exercises did help in my understanding. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 5 | My classes were scheduled late enough to accommodate my work schedule. The school was so small that I often had to wait for important classes to be offered. |
| Academic Facilities | 7 | The lab equipment was good. The school was too small to offer good study groups, and the teachers were often unavailable after hours. |
| Social Life | 1 | There was no school spirit. The administration tried to organize a few socials during the school day, but nobody was interested. |
| Placement Services | 1 | I was not offered any good career leads. I found a job myself, but not until 6 months after I graduated. |
| Alumni Network | 1 | I received no guidance from my schools career center. I have not heard from my school since I graduated. |

"2 years after graduation and no full-time job. No part-time job. Just freelance contract stuff."

| Would Recommend? | no | Don't go to school for CIS CS Software Engineering. Just buy some hosting. Download tutorials for whatever software you want to develop and find a project that you can fork and modify. |
| Program Quality | 3 | The classes were ok but there wasn't enough post college prep. No support getting an internship. No help finding a job. |
| Instruction | 3 | Yeah, no career prep, lots of liberal arts garbage. |
| How Difficult | 4 | Not really difficult at all, just a lot of papers to write. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | It depended upon the class. The majority of the CIS classes were very hands on while everything else just kinda was more book oriented. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 1 | There are summer and night classes. But the core classes were always full and the language classes were all too early in the morning (6 & 7 am). |
| Academic Facilities | 5 | Everything in the lab worked and the software was only 2-5 years out of date. Of course they also had COBOL classes for the state curriculum. |
| Social Life | 1 | The school spirit never affected my life. I was busy working a full-time job while the other students were having a blast. |
| Placement Services | 1 | This is non-existent. |
| Alumni Network | 1 | What network and support? I get a shiny magazine every homecoming and that's the extent of the alumni network. |
