Hi there, welcome to AN.

I would be persistent with calling whoever can answer your questions from this school. Grad school is an expensive investment and you must do your own research in order to make sure you will be getting the education you need. I'm not familiar with Charles Drew (other than the fact that it is a health sciences campus with a Med School in Southern California). I'm a bit concerned that their NP program isn't listed in the Board of Registered Nursing's website as approved (see: Board of Registered Nursing - Advanced Practice Programs). The nursing program, however, is CCNE accredited (see: American Association of Colleges of Nursing | Find Accredited Programs). These are concerns I have as an uninformed "bystander" looking at the school's credentials. Again, make sure you get in touch with this school and ask what the deal is.
