Wonder if college classes fit your schedule?
"A week in the life" shows how our students manage their time.
Some of our students are attending college for the first time, while others are changing careers. Some students have full-time jobs and others work part-time on campus. Some students have families, some have hobbies, and some are still figuring it out. We invite you to meet three current students and learn what their typical week looks like.
