Learn More About Our Programs

"By the time I got to the courses I really care about, anatomy and physiology, classes were around 30-40 students. It’s really special because you get to have connections with professors who really care about what they’re talking about, and TAs have more time to spend with you and support you, which creates a sense of community. You’re not a single person sitting in a sea of 500, you’re part of a team and I’ve made some really great friends in my classes.”
