The diversity of the student body, the great faculty and the smaller class sizes are a few of the great things about this university. The faculty are more than willing to help you succeed and the smaller class sizes make it much easier to make connections.

Kimani Jackson

The people and professors here are very nice and helpful, and the class sizes give you a more personal connection with your professors.

[The professors] prepared us throughout college and set us up with the tools that we need to succeed. It helped me secure a good job and I thank my professors for that.
