This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've listed this article for peer review because I'd like to improve it to Good Article status, and would like guidance from another editor experienced with education articles. I'm open to any suggestions or comments for further improvement. -- Caponer (talk) 21:34, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Quick comment - Hey Caponer, taking a quick look at this article, there are a few things that stand out as being missing compared to FA/GA-level colleges I've seen. The biggest ones are sports/athletics, other student clubs/groups, student government, and notable faculty/alumni. I'm not sure how many of the gaps are attributable to its status as a private junior college, but if I were to see this nominated at GA my instinct would be to fail it on breadth concerns. In terms of neutrality, prose, and referencing, though, very well done. There is a bit too much primary sourcing for my taste, but that shouldn't be an issue at the GA level (and again, is probably attributable to the college's size and broader recognition).

Nikkimaria, thank you for taking the time to review this article and for your thoughtful comments and suggestions--it's greatly appreciated more than you know! Since the institution is a junior college that focuses primarily on business-related education and distance learning, it does not seem to have any sports or athletic programs. Do you have any suggestions of how to deal with this in the article? I know it's a glaring omission compared to other schools, but there isn't a source that specifically states that it doesn't have these athletic/sports programs. I'll work on trying to find notable alumni, and other notable individuals associated with the school. Because of its size, and its location, there isn't a lot of information to work with, but I will dig a little deeper in the meantime. Again, thank you for your above comments! -- Caponer (talk) 01:50, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
