Jul 15, 2026
Rating 5 out of 5

The faculty genuinely cares about their students. The school also strives to stay on the leading edge of things like learning to use AI ethically and effectively and strives to give vocation a purpose and meaning in world that assigns less and less value to higher ed. Being in Nashville also gives an immense opportunity for connects and internships that help create a foundation for a career. The downside, as with many schools, is the price just keeps going up and up.
