Not to brag, but we’re good at this. Really good. In fact, we keep getting ranked on list after list for our academics. That’s nice and everything, but our real prize comes from seeing our graduates go on to do amazing things using the very skills they learned here. We’re proud of them. So can you blame us if we brag from time to time?
