I am considering the WCU Hyg program. Any student reviews would be appreciated.
i plan on attending this school. knowing it received this review makes me feel a bit better about it. another thing i would add to the cons, is the price of the programs. they are very expensive, but you can't really complain when you finish school sooner than most with a DEGREE, not a certificate.
