Hi Penny82, I'm also going to be in the first cohort for CCU. I have been slowly taking prerequisites since it's important for me to also be mom for my little guys, and was beginning to look at what programs I was really going to apply to when I found out about CCU's program. I have been very impressed so far with what I know and can't wait to get started! I really appreciate the approach of allowing their students to have a life outside of school. The admission requirements are a little tougher, you have to have a 3.25, take the TEAS, write an essay, 2 letters of recommendation, and interview. I think they're already pretty tough with the requirements because it's going to quickly become competetive, but they are great to work with and open to answering my many questions. I was also concerned about accreditation before I applied, spoke with Dr. White directly, and she confirmed just what I wanted to know...that they were in the final stages of accreditation. Now I hear they have received the letter, so that's great news! I think wherever you choose should be a good fit. For example, I don't think SummitAP would work very well at CCU! And that's great, we all have our own belief systems we will bring into our job and education, no matter what they are. What we are going to learn is how to serve and help people, while seeing them as a whole person, not just a "case" that needs to be solved. I have studied enough topics that I don't necessarily agree with and survived...however, now I am thrilled to be studying science through what I know is true without facing condescension and judgment. I don't think science and faith are mutually exclusive either. SummitAP I don't want you to pin all Christ followers under one umbrella. Nobody is perfect so it's not fair to look at a human being as the ultimate example of how to live. People will ALWAYS fail you!
