<p>I’m posting here as they’re recruiting my D and pushing their Aero-Engineering degree. I look on their web site and don’t see much but what I do see lends me think its little more than DeVry on steroids. I understand that all colleges (except maybe the service academies) are a business but they seem much more a business than most. Also, they claim: </p>
<p>Program development and curriculums for both programs have been guided by Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) standards and the division is working hard for accreditation when DWC becomes eligible upon awarding its first Bachelors Degree in Engineering. </p>
<p>But I understand that they granted BS degrees in 2008. </p>
<p>My son took his first college course there many years ago and he was a bit surprised at how easy it was. I was too.</p>
<p>They were originally an aviation school and then the university part was bolted on. They have a very nice suburban campus (very safe area) and they are located next to an airfield. I’m personally not impressed by their programs but they did have very good placement numbers several years ago. It sounds like they did a lot of building (with debt) at just about the wrong time.</p>
<p>I would not consider this school now that they’ve gone to ITT unless your daughter has a strong interest in learning how to fly - that’s the only attraction that I can see for this school.</p>
