Review:

One of the best things about this school are the instructors.  Many are involved in the field of study in which they teach.  I like the fact that they bring in people who have knowledge (not just academic) about how the "real" world utilizes the information that they pass on to students.  Instructors like Dr. Steven Greer, Dr. Anna Simmons, and Dr. Edwin Bundy are examples of those who actually practice what they teach.

The only issue that I have is how they schedule their Master's thesis course.  For those of us using federal employee vouchers and who have to submit them ahead of registering, they make it difficult when registering for that final course.  Even though I tried to get my academic advisor to understand that I am capable of carrying that course plus an elective (GPA: 3.85, now higher after this term) and explaining my voucher process, my complaint fell on deaf ears.  Other than that issue, I like the school.  It is tough, a lot of research, reading, and writing required.
