I graduated in '02 with a BSBA in Computer Information Systems from WCU. Like all schools you'll find your pluses and minuses to both the school, the area it's located, and the individual program. Western is definitely an isolated university; Asheville is the closest city at about a 40min drive. So if you require a big city night life for partying and such then you should look otherwise. If you love the mountains and the outdoors and such then it's a great choice.
At any rate, I knew of some people from other classes that were involved with the Cherokee program. Everyone seemed to love the professors and where else should you learn about the Cherokee Nation than in Cherokee. The professors tend to load up on papers but from what I heard they were all generally incredibly short at 5-7 pages. The bad thing is that I'm sure there are lots of them. The only negative thing I ever heard was that mid-way through the semester it gets boring driving to the Reservation where lots of the classes are taught. Otherwise it’s supposed to be an awesome program that is getting quite a bit of traction and attention from other universities.
