Do not waste your time and money. They care just about your money. QUALITY OF EDUCATION IS HORRIBLE! The administration is not helpful and egocentric.
Recommended: Choose a Path, Not a Major
I find it unfortunate that others have not had the same stellar experience I have had. This is a predominantly graduate university (70%) with heavy applied relevance to the program and discipline areas. I felt and am very supported an faculty are super attentive.
If you have any intelligence at all, please go somewhere else. If you have the brains of a rock and a big wallet, this is the school for you.

Unqualified students were allowed in to the program and were quickly run out (after paying nearly 10k). This is a big issue as there is lots of group work and getting saddled with an incapable classmate creates additional work for the rest of the group. This program is VERY heavy on group work.
Some instructors are part time and are not subject matter experts. I would say about 50% of instructors are great, and the other 50% are just terrible, classic arrogant PHD's with a chip on their shoulder. I would love to name names, but I shouldn't in this forum.
Our major projects coordinator/advisor went on vacation 2 weeks before our major projects deadline....The class went ballistic as we couldn't get our questions answered. I had to park my project for nearly a week waiting for her return...this was valuable time to lose for a working professional.
Beware of the first residency. It is very grueling and they spend a lot of effort assuring you that you can survive. There is no need for it to be so painful.
The class content is pretty good. I learned a lot. Most of it was self taught with varying degree's of guidance from an "instructor" who basically told you what to read, and then what to write. Most instructors don't instruct, just guide you in how to teach yourself. Oddly, I did not get the feeling, on average, that the instructors wanted you to succeed. It is very difficult to succeed in this course.
Overall, this was poor experience. Please, please do yourself a favor and go absolutely anywhere else.
