Not a total ripoff, but real close. I worked for these shady characters for a few years until I couldn't take any more of the pressure to process warm bodies through a system of nonsense. Start anywhere from allowing potential students unlimited attempts at an entrance exam- the constant rising co students of each degree program- failing to infom students of the tereminating degree status- retaining students that are clearly incapable of college level work- passing students that seldom come to class (a student I knew while I was there said that they now have this lady chasing down absent students on facebook)- changing grades against the teachers' will- over exagerating potential salaries- misleading placement numbers (a student can work a 2 hour contract job installing cable and they would be considered place in their field of study - take them off the board and move on to next)- a great number of medical students are still changing bed pans and shouldn't expect any help. I will give the teachers a thumps up- they are mostly inspired and committed to assisting the students and they cant help what that the admissions team spend a lot of time at the homeless shelter and blood plasma center. This high pressure sales group will drive you to drink or at minimum question your conscience- For every success story that comes from this place is two horroe stories- imagine being chased by debt collectors for the rest of your life while h0lding on to a degree that you cant take anywhere, but ECPI... on that's right these shady characters are now offering a Masters Degree...
