I am in the master's of teacher program at SNC, throughout this program I've faced many disappointments with the school. The school has an extremely high turnover within their faculty and administration which makes things very unorganized. My appointed advisor left the country, and I got no compensation for the semester lost. During my thesis writing they surprised me with new fees, a "continuation of enrollment class" which I was told they are able to do because it is not an official "course", although it cost me an extra $1000. I found this very unprofessional. Be aware that they can change the program at any time and they will (get everything in writing). After attending this program, I would not recommended it.

I am a parent of a new incoming freshman student and both my husband and I have been very pleased so far with both the kindness and professionalism we have been shown. The entire staff in the admissions department along with faculty and advisors have been there to answer and guide us through; they all deserve a big applaud! What seemed to us as a most overwhelming experience, became a much more managable and exciting event in our lives. They have all helped to make this a smooth transition for the entire family.
