As a current student of this school, I would strongly advise searching elsewhere. From the start, many aspects of the enrollment process have been misleading. I will say the staff members are extremely friendly. However, there is no communication or follow-up from counselors, the layout of classes was misleading from the start, and honestly, everything is a bit old school. I truly feel that I was misled completely and everything should have seemed too good to be true from the start. As someone who chose to do online classes as opposed to in-person, I was surprised to see how much there is miscommunication between professors and those who create the program in general. Professors are hit and miss as well, you either have the ones who nitpick and dock every point or you get those who give full credit for everything you turn in. You are truly on your own when it comes to your own education, which to me is not worth the $$$ you pay for. It is really like you are teaching yourself, and all the school does is give you a grade and a diploma. I would not recommend this school to anyone considering the cost, experience, and lack of a true learning experience.

First class in the first semester was okay. The teacher was available when I got stuck. However, second class in first semester was unavailable most of the time. Did not return emails. I had to contact my chair and dean of students to get any help.This should not happen. The professor was also unavailable when I needed explain of the material that was left on canvas. It is rude to let a student flail when they need help and are paying for your salary. When we had zoom meetings she never smiled and never made me feel at ease as a student. It was like we were a bother. I withdrew from this school as there is just too much red tape in becoming a teacher in the most expensive state of California. Spend your money elsewhere….
