My Support Team
We're Here to Help
Our team of enrollment counselors and other advisers are here to help you find the degree program that's right for you, apply for admission, and walk you through the financial aid process.
When you begin working with your enrollment counselor, you will soon discover that we take the definition of “counselor” very seriously. We love to ask questions. We will ask you what you are looking for in a degree program, what you need, and about your ultimate goals, and then we will carefully listen to your concerns and needs.
When you're ready, we have made it easy to connect with an enrollment counselor. Just call us at 1.866.679.9682, e-mail us or sign up to receive more information.
