Millikin University – Academics Survey
Survey Excerpt: This is a university of about 2,000 to 3,000 students. The college's
academic strengths are in fine arts (music, commercial music, theatre
and dance, etc.) and Business. I was a finance major in the school of
business. The science programs are not too strong there, and the
liberal arts I would say OK.
Since I transferred in my junior year I c

Colorado Technical University – Admissions Survey
Survey Excerpt: The most important factor with college enrollments is first
to pick and choose what is it that you want to major in college, (what
do you want to learn?). All your life, the people that surround you on
a daily basis, tell you or guide you into these decisions, but remember

make you tougher. My crim professor, Jacobs, went through the entire
class throughout the semester, drilling each student about the assigned

Art Institute of Pittsburgh – Academics Survey
Survey Excerpt: Academic Nature of the Advertising B.S. Program:
It is very deceiving, because people think the advertising would focus
on art direction or copywriting, just because it's an art school.
Unfortunately, not. It's more focused on the business side. In fact,
one can just say it's a Marketing program, not an advertising program.
Perhaps an advertisi

Oklahoma City University: MBA – Academics Survey
Survey Excerpt: If the applicant's undergraduate degree is not business related, there
will be up six classes that have to be made up before starting the
Master's level program, including accounting and marketing. I found I was
able to compensate for most of these through CLEP tests. Once in the
program, there are 12 courses, or 36 hours, that must be completed. A
