Doesn't seem like a very rigorous program. How about trying a real school?

I went there for a year. The campus is beautiful and the girls are plentiful. I went in 98 and left in 99. Back then it was 70% females and the rest were males. I majored in Comp Sci only to leave after realizing the professors didn't know what they were doing. We were learning to program the wrong way and I had to take courses that were total BS. Well, I eventually left to attend another local university where I switched to MIS. I graduated and I looking back Im glad I made the move. Maybe things have changed since then, but the hardest part about it was that I left many friends.

Not sure about the female:male ratio part but that's pretty much the reason he transfered, he thought that his courses were total BS.

It's a fine school but this program sounds like the kind of education you can get for $1.25 in late fees at the local library. An undergrad degree in help desk???
