I paid for a 10 credit hour course only to find out there was only 4 hours a week in class and…read moremonthly lab with 4 hours meaning an average of 5 weekly hours. The professor informed us that it's recommended that you study 40 hours outside of class to achieve a passing grade. The standard for one credit hour is 50 minutes of class with 120 minutes of study meaning a 10 credit hour class should be roughly 30 hours of work however the course I'm attending requires 48 hours of work and only 5 of those hours are what you paid for meaning the collage is offloading it's work onto the students in an inefficient manner. I'd call it affordable but since you're getting half the classroom time you paid for it's actually a more like theft. Basically if you're in EMS I recommend you attend a different program this one will take your money and your time in exchange for a defective product.

I've been taking LSEC classes since Nov 2016, and am on track to graduate by the end of 2017. That's a 2 year Associate of Applied Science in Business Management & Leadership in just 1 year. Sometimes the 6 week cycles seem a little fast paced, especially when taking multiple classes that end up with the same due dates, but it's not impossible to do. One thing I wish that BCC did is have a whole year of classes scheduled so students could plan their academic year ahead, and also register for more than 1 cycle at a time. (I heard that they did do this a long time ago, but have since changed their ways. Good grief. Why take away a scheduling feature that was so useful?) As far as staff goes, the teachers are pretty kewl. They know a lot about their subjects and add their own experiences to the mix so we learn how things relate "in real life". The office staff seems friendly to me for the most part, and my advisor has made the enrollment process quick and easy for me. Overall, I like BCC and what it offers.
