I believe you would be hard pressed to find a school that cares as deeply for the success of their students as well as having the curriculum and classroom setting that provides such an intellectual, connected, and engaging environment.

There are no live lectures anymore everything is prerecorded with the teachers who recorded them not there anymore and the new teachers don't know or don't care about the mistakes / issues with the recorded lectures. Not student friendly take your grants/loans/money to a...
Read moreHighly Recommended, I'm a Graduate! Bachelor of Applied Science in Information Systems Engineering – Networking and Security. My experience with the administration, faculty and friendly staff was second to none over the last few years. Being a veteran I was looking for a online program that worked with me having a normal day to day job with trying to accomplish another degree. Got started with Vocational Rehab on the military side, which worked along with the abtu admin side and I did the rest. I was very hesitant with being old, going back to school with having a family and dealing with everyday life, but the staff the teachers and everyone else made things go smoothly with no regrets. A very special Thank You to Kinsey Wardlow my advisor who guided me through tough and...
