NTT aquired by EPCI University

Won't know how the "fit" is until I "wear" it awhile... but their basic philosophy sure jives with my own... "
From their website:
"How does ECPI differ from local colleges or universities?
ECPI provides education in technology based majors, emphasizing how and when to use the skills and knowledge you learn. In essence, we focus on real world information you need to get jobs with employers. Since many employers want experience, we stress the learning and practical knowledge employers want in their employees."

Looking over their webpage, they really do look like something this country needs.  Of course, as a "private, for-profit"...  There is no Govt. money subsidizing the University, so tuition is up there... But... they do show a lot of financial aid sites....  so maybe it is affordable ... and if one leaves College with an actual SKILL that is in demand....  paying back the student loans should be a whole lot easier than some of the "underwater-basketweaving" degrees offered by the public sector.... (and I'll bet if a Professor does not perform here, there is no tenure to shield them).  Good...
Now... If I could just get them to open a campus in Reno............
