For the past year I have been attending Fountainhead College of Technology as a distance education student. I graduated in April with an Associate Degree in Computer Programing, and was pursuing a BAS in Application Development. That is no longer the case.
During my time at FCT I had grown incredibly frustrated with the school. They have been incredibly disorganized, fairly un-impressive for a “technology” school, and really didn’t understand the different needs of a distance student compared to a residential student. After exploring options, I found a better choice for my continued education.
That choice is Strayer. They have impressed me since I first contacted them, and overall they abe been a pleasure to deal with. Program options, course selection, faculty, it is emensely better than Fountainhead. Oh, and they offer a MBA/MS program should I wish to continue that route.
I will be earning a BAS in Information Systems with a major in Database Development and a minor in Computer Programming. Classes start up in October which gives me a much needed break from school and some extra time to do stuff around the house and of course some family time.
The decision to change schools will mean it will take me a bit longer to earn my degree, but in the end I think it will be the most beneficial for me.
