AMU is alright for the most part but does have significant failures on the schools part that do and will affect the student. Failures are as follow: 1. Obsolete assignment information is often left behind in the online classrooms. 2. Written assignment instructions within classroom is often less than clear. 3. New instructors are often left confused along with students as to #1 ans #2. 4. Had one case where an instructor fabricated a grade for an assignment that never existed. The fabricated grade... Read More was well below my normal grades hence reducing my overall grade for the course. Spoke with school yet they took no action. When I complained, this same instructor went back into my grade book and reduced another grade already existing, from an 88% to a 70%. 5. If you hope to graduate with any type of honors, this is not the school to place those hopes in. The GPA bar at AMU/APUS is set extremely high for graduation with honors and given all that I have noted, the odds are heavily against students who harbor such goals. None of the courses offer any type of extra credit projects or assignments thus 100% is the maximum possibility per course. Given the schools shortcomings noted prior, your chances of maintaining that 100% from start to finish are near impossible thus your chances of graduating honors are the same, near impossible. I have spoken with University of Phoenix as well as SNU Graduates and find these negatives not to be the case at those institutions. There is of course nothing wrong with graduating without honors but just thought everyone should know that AMU/APU offers little if any chance of your receiving such on graduation. When instructors are lost in their own classrooms and others fabricate grades for which their is no merit, are a actions which indicate a problem, a big problem for students.

I love WGU. My Bachelor's in Accounting enabled me to qualify for jobs that I could not apply for with an Associates. I now have a new job that makes $17,000 more. It was great being able to go at my own pace so I could breeze through the subjects I already knew and spend more time on new subjects. The only criticism I have towards WGU is I feel that some of the course mentors were lacking compared to others. Luckily I learn really well with self-study but I think the course mentors having weekly... Read More live webinars for all the classes would have been helpful (only some did this). Anyway, I still love WGU and would come back here for my next degree.

The four years that I spent at Florida Gulf Coast were the best years of my life. If you work hard and demonstrate initiative to take advantage of opportunities you will prosper. The small school environment provides great visibility for those that work hard. I worked hard and did well in school and because of that, I stood out. I had professors constantly vouching for me, sending new opportunities, providing connections, and giving advice. In fact, the only reason I ever considered applying to top... Read More 10 master's program is that I had a professor motivate me to give it a shot. That same professor helped me diversify my application, wrote me a letter of recommendation, and helped prepare me for my interview. You definitely will not get that same personalized help at just any school. The campus is gorgeous, environmentally friendly, and in a great location. The city is not overly distracting which allows students to really focus and get to know classmates. FGCU also focuses on giving back to the community which I believe to be another characteristic that sets it apart from other schools at this level. The overall culture at the university is supportive and laid back. It is very common to see peers studying on the library lawn in 80-degree weather in between classes. Overall, I am so thankful every day that I chose to attend Florida Gulf Coast University. It has given me more opportunities than I ever imagined, I found my love for learning, and I met some of the most incredible individuals.

While the school has great technical resources and student groups to help you develop your professional career, the staff isn't very helpful to their students. On several occasions I have called enrollment services and have been left on hold for hours. After finally being connected, if the first person answering the phone can't help you, they won't be giving you the contact information of someone who can. I feel very wronged for having spent thousands of dollars here and realizing that no one is... Read More sympathetic about very serious issues I wanted resolved. I was never able to enroll as a senior for my remaining senior classes because of a technicality in their system that they claimed they "had no control over". Okay, I'll take that into account when reviewing my options for grad school.
