No Such Thing as Tenure at This School

This can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on the school. We encourage you to understand this topic more deeply, and how the colleges you are interested in approach faculty hiring.

You May End Up Getting Taught by a Grad Assistant

We suggest you ask the college to what extent graduate assistants are relied on for instruction, so you know what you are paying for.
