The Grantham College of Engineering

Date: Nov 14 2005
Major: Electrical Engineering (This Major's Salary over time)
While initial lower level classes are based upon multiple choice test booklets, the curriculum (I can only speak for the Engineering Dept.) becomes quite challenging as you move through the program. There is no such thing as multiple choice Calculus. Signals and Systems, and Control Systems do have some multiple choice test questions, but I dare anyone to attempt a guess on a fourier analysis, or Controls design question without working the problems. It simply cannot be done. You will work for your grade, and in doing so, feel the appropriate level of pride when you succeed.

If you do not have the self discipline to focus on the course work, and fully utilize the faculty and outside resources to gain a full understanding of the subject matter, you will not fare well. Degree mill??? No.

I researched the classes and texts used, and they are comparable or identical to those at several highly respected regionally accredited engineering institutions.

As far as landing a dream job goes, you will certainly not be treated as an Ivy League graduate, but I am a seasoned technician with a desire to move beyond the nuts and bolts of my job, and in doing so receive the appropriate salary. Grantham is ideal for my needs.

I am currently enrolled in my last class, and should graduate next month. Grantham has provided me with a challenging and fulfilling learning environment that has prepared me to move forward in my career field.

I am in the military stationed overseas. If I were stationed in the States, I would have attended a regionally accredited school. That was not an option for me, but I certainly have no regrets.
