Where else will a college Vice President personally contact a student and make sure she has the resources needed to continue her education when switching from traditional to commuter? Moreover, how many other schools have direct ties to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, CA, giving students the ability to network and gain internships at a Presidential institution? Many schools can offer you an excellent education, life lessons, and a fulfilling career. However, only we can offer you your own Uniquely Eureka Experience.
