The kind of person who should attend this school is someone like me. I work full time and cannot attend a traditional 4 year university; not having the time to actually drive to campus and attend class, I also can't afford to pay for tuition, books, AND parking. This school is perfect for working professionals who need online access to classes around their schedules, instead of attending a class geared towards people several years their junior and have much more free time and less responsibilities, like working full time, paying several bills, and taking care of a family.

I'm attending the Europe branch of this school (military spouse). Someone who travels a lot would find the online classes suitable for them.
