Grad school is a lot different then what I had anticipated. While the work itself is very insightful the teachers don't seem to be as involved as undergrad programs. This is the biggest con to the program. The dedication level has dropped tremendously and yet the work load has increased. It feels like I am completely teaching myself and just maintaining what I have learned in the past instead of expanding my knowledge.

The courses are too short and the workload is much too heavy for such short courses. There is no way that you can learn anything in seven weeks. It honestly feels almost entirely like a money-making program. I'm not sure that the school really cares about the type of education that it is putting forward. The financial aid office gets its money fast and takes forever to get your refund money to you. I'm honestly not sure that the school cares. It has its uses but there's definitely more out there...
