Private, christian, pricey, but not scammy. Then they decided to go for the big bucks and it was a bad decision. Oh, wait, it almost always is, isn't it? when education is turned into a for-profit enterprise.

I knew several of their graduates back in the late 90s, and they got a decent education. I'm not sure I could say the same for anyone completing a course of study, undergrad or graduate, there today. Sad.
