I found the ability to study on my schedule invaluable. I work a non-traditional schedule and the coursework fit in nicely. CalSouthern prides itself as a military-friendly school, and it shows. From the tuition rates to the dedicated military representative, I found CalSouthern exceeding my needs as a military learner. All of my mentors were relevant experts in their fields. They all had doctoral-level degrees and assisted in any way possible helping me to succeed. It didn’t matter the time, day or night, they stood ready to assist.
