Students who do well in this program:

  • Have the drive:
    Bootcamp is challenging. Successful students are highly motivated.

    This is a full-time program, and requires a commitment of 30 hours a week. Focusing solely on school, with as few outside obligations as possible, is a big factor in student success.
