    SHAM! A Disgrace. Blatant robbery of low-income students!

    This is a sham, preying on low income individuals. The higher-ups are disconnected from EVERYTHING and have no idea what they are doing. It is a DISGRACE of an educational institution. They lie to students before admittance about accreditation! We need a new word for ILLEGAL!

    Dr.WhistleBlows does not recommend the school.

    Think Twice!!!

    There is virtually zero diversity at SEC. I have taught cohorts with zero Caucasian or Asian students. I find it questionable that 99% of the class body is African-American. In all transparency, the reason for this is the outstanding cost of tuition, the ease of securing enrollment, and praying on lower-income students for enrollment in this “for profit” institution. They can not keep instructors, there is no organization and even less oversight by the deans and presidents. There is no care for instructors, and even less for the students. There needs to be some serious audits done of these schools and their various programs. Some lack proper accreditation, which is to be expected for brand new programs, however this is never disclosed to the students and they are told they are fully accredited in their programs when only SEC’s prerequisites have full accreditation. I’m not sure all employees are even aware of this, which should raise a big red flag regarding the honesty and accountability of this so-called “institution”. Think twice before working or enrolling here, and weigh your options!

    Mrs. J does not recommend the school.
