What students are saying
DC has exceeded my expectations. It’s been great meeting students with the same goals who are just as driven as I am. It’s been a great environment to be a part of, and I’ve been presented with such great opportunities.
The past two years have been an incredible learning experience. I’ve gained valuable knowledge and insights into the world of social work.
The campus is beautiful, the people are friendly, and it’s obvious the staff cares about my success. I also love the smaller class sizes at DC, they allow for a closer relationship between everyone in the classroom, allowing for genuine relationships.
