The quality of education is lacking, and it is a very expensive school. No one should end up with a 70k debt for an online degree. The ICT program was a joke. We were writing research papers based of the information read online. The technical knowledge they give you is abysmal. You don’t feel ready for the job market after graduation. The professors are very old school, uptight, and rely on AI for grading. They don’t partake in group discussions. They don’t ask challenging or mind bending questions.
