Don't listen to any reviews. Please take my word and apply elsewhere. The positive reviews are coming from staff, deans, and other faculty members. This school is the worst decision you will ever make. Every single day, my classmates and I dread coming here because of the education we're receiving. The school is completely disorganized, the professors are disrespectful, the exams aren't made from the school, the grading system is outrageous, teaching consists of powerpoints being read word for word and nothing else. It is a for-profit school, meaning they want your money and that's it. They will welcome you with open arms, making you feel as if they care about you and you are important up until you begin the program.

Because of my horrible experience at this schoolI needed to make this review to warn any future students. First off Ill list the one positive they offer: theyre willing to take you into their school right away, given you have a high school diploma. Apparently they usually require the Hesi test, however this is waived due to COVID-19.
Thats the only positive. Let me explain.
I have a previous degree in Biology so I had taken many of the required pre-requisite courses. 54 credits to be exact. They only let me transfer half of those credits. My degree was specialized in Anatomy, I taught anatomy for 2 semesters at my university, on live cadavers. They refused to take Any of my anatomy credits, even though I spent over 3 semesters in those classes and got great grades in them. The academic advisors are not there to help you. I asked multiple times about these credits, they werent able to make any accommodations. They told me I could take placement tests out of these courses for a feebut had no information on what was going to be on these tests.
The worst partI got extorted out of $200 and till now, I am unable to get this amount back. I got accepted to the university and before I could even get a breakdown of my classes or schedule or anything, I got an email from the admissions advisor saying in order to secure your admission we will need a $200 fee for your background check and fingerprinting to hold your spot. If we dont get this by 4 pm TODAY you are not eligible for classes and admission cannot be granted. I paid the fee solely because I was scared I was going to lose my spot.
After thinking about the incompetence from the advisors, the cost of tuition (SO EXPENSIVE) & their unwillingness to take my classes that Ive already taken, I felt that this institution wasnt for me. I told the advisor I wanted to defer and have the $200 that I paid go towards the next semesters background check and fingerprinting feeI was told the service is only valid for 1 month!!! And I couldnt get this money back!!! It was non refundable!
I dont regret not going to this school I regret every single second I wasted talking to these people that wouldnt help me! I talked to multiple advisors and even people that were high up in the institution and no one had any answers for me. Blind leading the blind. SAVE YOURSELF AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!
