Thanks everyone!
Well, so far it appears that its Pratt and UW-Milwaukee in the lead. Too
bad about the Maryland situation -- thanks for that update Michael. Its
just as important to know about what is no longer being offered too!
I'll pass these on to Marilou. If others out there know of programs beyond
UW-Milwaukee and Pratt please do share!
Sincerely,
Paige
