Flag Review - Rating:
- I attended Owens for 2 years and graduated with an Associates in architectual Engineers Technologys degree... I have to say their Financial aid and student aid services wer amazing. They off both online and class room settings. I did mine 90% class room. The Instructors were extreamlt knowledgeful and helpful. Leonard Michaels and Reed Knowles are as good of Instructors as I have ever has (I also hold a Bachelors). I suggest anyone interested in construction industry to consider this institution
