I signed up for an MPH program, got admitted within a week, went through one mess of a semester, they made us cram through it, assignments changed as we advanced through the semester, they added on to the course calendar at the last minute, I even missed a final because of this. They claimed they accrediting body was coming so that is why they were making changes. It was also allegedly their first semester introducing this program.They play so much games they didn’t let me into some of the zoom classes, they expected us to go out into the community to collect primary data for some assignments during Covid-19 when some places were still shut down. and my did I miss the red flags. If you like your sanity stay away from this school. We had one professor who could not filter herself to save herself she acted weird and communicated feed back to me in a put down way it was unacceptable, she made comments about ethnic people and places that were offensive and turned it into a joke. I asked her a question about a theory she asked us to write a topic on, she didn’t like it and turned it into a mockery sabotaged me and posted material that didn’t make any sense just to prove a point. You would never expect this behavior from a school in a free world where people can be anything they want to be. An institution of higher learning that can not practice professionalism. Stay away from this school you will save you some money that you have to pay back either way, with unfinished course work and no degree to show for it. My opinion is they are toxic!

I visited the campus with my cousin who loves her work as an Assistant Professor here. The campus is spread along the beach scenic drive and you can just cross the street to get on the beach. The friendship oaks are just majestic and you can spend hours looking at them. The campus has an interesting history, I would recommend knowing more about it if you are here. The pond under the bridge with lots of turtles in them is a cool hanging spot, and so is the chimney hang-out spot.
