I attended to opticianry program which was a horrible mistake on two fronts. First the program is very boring and repetitive, and what’s worse it doesn’t even prepare you for the job market. I’ve had the misfortune of working in the optical field for seven years. Trust me, when I tell you guys that school does not prepare you for the madness that you have to endure in the eyeglass field. Here are some misnomers, I want to clear up. I was told by opticians and from the board. Only license professionals can take measurements and only licensed professionals can be managers. Let me assure you this is not true, LensCrafters has several stores that have managers that are not licensed. Many of them come from clothing backgrounds and have no optical experience. Then are awarded manager positions that pay 80 K a year. Yet, I’m supposed to pay the school 16,000 a year to become a licensed optician. When a former manager of a Lord and Taylor can be a optical manager. Baffling.
Great school, but it was very difficult; so many people dropped out after the first few months. But, if you’re having difficulties or get stuck in any of your subjects there are people there to help you. I learned a lot! The only con I had was that there are not many women in the program, but sadly that’s common in the engineering field. I was able to get a great job, great pay and now I’m headed to grad school funded by my job’s higher education enrichment program.
My advice is to go for it and DO NOT give up, it’s worth it! Use the resources at the school, they want you to succeed.

I'm a current student studying in the new Bachelors Electrical Engineering program. I decided to enroll for the cheap price and excellent major since it's also ABET accredited. I didn't expect a fancy college when I enrolled. I just wanted a good degree at a good price, and BFIT supplies that. The teacher's are just as knowledgeable as you'd expect from any college. For the price, I recommend this college.
