Do not come to this school if you have either zero knowledge about the program or if you skin is brown. The reason why i am saying this is because practically my class was more Hispanic than white and by the end of the first year the class was mostly full of Caucasian. The first semester is nothing compare as the second one. Teachers always say that they are for you and tell you to go to them if you need help but at the end they go back and talk bad about you to other teachers. Whenever you start having patients... Read More be prepare to deal with bad attitudes with instructors and embarrassment. Ms. Hahn in particular does not care about you! She will make you cry in clinic and afterwards embarrass you in front of your patient. She talks so much about respect but doesn't respect her students. If you have questions teachers will make you feel stupid and its messed up because they are there to help students out but you will clearly see by the second semester how instructors are. There is only a few teachers that are there to actually help you out like Dr. Novosad, Ms. Dobbs, Ms. Bode, and Ms. Petterson. I hope this program gets better for future students but at the ends it keeps on getting worst from the director to the instructors! They should focus more on how to help their students and not making it impossible to pass!

Racism is a festering, ugly component of this program. My very first day I was warned by more than one fellow classmate about it. Several of which where white classmates. I was warned that it didn’t matter how hard I worked that it would not be enough. I was warned that I should plan on not passing. I remember thinking to myself “ not me! I work hard, I am an all As student”. I can say that unfortunately this was true. Multiple racially charged things where said to or about me by more than one instructor.... Read More Comments about my hair ( which was always in the dress code)where the most prevalent remarks. Every thing I did felt studied under a microscope by one particular instructor the most. This is not to say ALL the instructors where this way, yet when I brought it to their attention I was immediately dismissed. Although I made the Dean’s list with my grades while in the program, I ended up failing out of the program. After I had been out of the program for about a year, I somehow ran into one of the instructors off campus. We got to talking and all they could say with tears in their eyes is “ you should have passed”. This was important to me, it made me feel understood, seen, and frankly like it wasn’t all in my head. Since then I have chosen a different career path- teaching! Some reading this may think I am jaded or angrily writing this review but it has been years and the pain from this treatment is still there. I live in Wharton so it is sad to see and hear of this treatment continuing on after all this time. I hope that perhaps one of the WCJC faculty sees this review and instead of dismissing it- pursues change. It would be unfortunate for the entire program to get punished for the way few higher ups and one instructor treat people. The ones behaving this way have violated their oath as educators. They should be ashamed to treat a fellow human being in such a despicable manner.
