Louis Sutton

Director of Engineering, Clear Channel Radio Dallas

"The best part of my Cedar Valley education was the cutting-edge approach that they took. Everybody in the program stayed ahead of the technical curve so information was immediately applicable in the field and not dated. They use technology that applies to the industry right now, not 10 or 20 years ago."

"It’s really invaluable to be able to learn from professionals who are a part of the industry. I also really like that it’s an accredited institution of higher learning, not a fly-by-night group of people trying to make a buck."

"In the beginning, I was hesitant because I didn’t want the courses to be too easy — I wanted to actually get something out of them. But once I realized my online courses were really challenging, I kept going back for more."

"This career is a good fit for me. It’s a good path for people like me who want to express themselves artistically but also want to have a good career opportunity in the business world. I would highly recommend Brookhaven’s program, and I think the whole career field will really grow over the next decade."

"I use an equivalent combination of my CADD education and job skill experience every day in my work. I loved my education, the school itself and particularly knowledge I’ve learned from instructors like Steve Billingslea."
