| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | yes | It was a very friendly environment. I learned a lot and was well qualified to put my skills to use. |
| Program Reputation | 10 | Almost everyone I've ever worked with has attended the same course at the school. It is a well oiled machine. The course was well thought out and executed properly. |

| Schedule Flexibility | 6 | For the course I took there were summer, fall, and spring options. The hours they were held were very strict, though. |
| Academic Facilities | 10 | The facilities were fairly new. The classes were also quite small so resources were easy to come by. |
