“Among the many things that differentiated Westervelt College from the other community or career colleges was the accelerated and intensive 12-month curriculum. From a quantitative perspective, I saw a way to meet my personal and financial commitments at a minimum of lost time or expense. In short, it was an efficient and timely way to get the tools I needed to reach my goals without sacrificing educational content” – Robert P.
