Katelyn - 05/04/2020

I have been part of the 100% online grad program for digital forensic science for 5 months now. The professors and academic advisors have been absolutely amazing, and supportive; they want to help you learn and succeed. The online program works with anyone schedule and is an easy to follow format. When it comes to online classes, they really know what they are doing. I selected Champlain College, as they have one of the best digital forensic programs in the country! They are also one of the most affordable.

Desti - 06/26/2019

Pretty good school, I've had a really good time here so far. A higher number of weird kids than most schools but if you got your own group of people going for you then you should be fine. Faculty is really really good, at least in business school, and most classes I feel like I have learned some valuable knowledge from.

Alexis - 06/07/2019

Champlain is a good school if you are willing to take the initiative on school, work, and social life. Don't expect people to do things for you, they're there to help you, not baby you. The social scene can be hard to break in to if you aren't willing to learn from other people and cultures. If you have dietary restrictions, you might find yourself having trouble at the dining hall. In spite of all this, almost all the courses I've taken that are related to my major have been very informative without being too overwhelming.

Hannah - 04/11/2019

I think that it’s going in a positive direction, but time and effort needs to be put into the changes that need to be made here. But I’m happy regardless. One thing I can confidently say is that the diversity is not as massive as they make it seem.
