Brown College Reviews
1 Review Submitted For Brown College
- Reviewed on: August 16, 2010
Flag Review - Rating:
- YES - I did get accepted into all of the graduate programs that I applied to. I have heard comments from people and seen reviews stating that the school is not accredited and you can't go on for any higher level education with a degree from Brown College. Mum, NOT TRUE! If it was I wouldn't have done a year of grad school at Mankato State and I wouldn't be finishing my Masters in Organizational Leadership from Northwestern College in April of 2011.
My words of wisdom to everyone, don't always believe what you hear from others or see. If that was the case, wouldn't have checked out Brown and wouldn't be doing as well as I am today.
Check it out for yourself and THEN make a decision, on your own :)
