When I started this school in 2019, it was called Ashford University. Then the University of Arizona brought out the school. I think that this school is good for individuals that has the drive to teach themselves, hold themselves accountable, and understand that they will have to do work outside of the classroom to really bridge the gap between college and being able to work in their desired field. In every class you will have to do discussions, replies, and a final which could be a test, project,... Read More or paper. The professors that I had were a mixed bag just like any other university I went to. Some went above and beyond while others did the bare minimum. After a few classes, I noticed that the classes all had a very similar structure to them. This school is largely what you make of it. This school financial services representatives has been kind to me every time I called. I understood that this school was in the business of making money and I knew this school was way more expensive than going to my local state university. My tip with perspective students and current students is to keep track of their financial aid, financial aid rules, GI bill, employer grants, and other forms of payments that the students may be using. I would also recommend taking transferable classes on Sophia, and StraighterLine. To help reduce the cost and getting done with your degree sooner. Academic advisors change all the time. So I did not really develop any type of relationship with any of my advisors. This school is regionally accredited by the WASC Senior College and University Commission at the time of me writing this review. Which is fantastic for me because that is all I needed to have to enter the field of software engineer. Beware that this school may not be for you if you need to sit for licenses like teaching and accounting. A degree from UAGC has help me in my earnings because before I started going here I was making next to minimum wage in a field I did not like. Now I am a software engineer now able to fully support myself with the help of UAGC!

This school is what you make it. Overall, I had a great experience! The good: -Cheap. I鈥檝e read about some people finishing their entire bachelors in one term鈥� that鈥檚 a bachelors from an accredited program for 3500 dollars. -For IT, the fact that your classes are certifications is a double win. Certs can be 300+ each, and you get 3 tries in each one. -I personally really like the competency based approach. My attendance and participation don鈥檛 mean that I know how software programming works, but... Read More in a regular program those things could potentially fail me. -My advisor was always super helpful and answered very quickly. -The alumni learning resources are great! I still have access to Idemy, LinkedIn Learning, Pluralsight, etc. great especially if you鈥檙e in IT and your employer is too cheap to pay for training. The bad: -Some of the learning materials were a little sub par. For the CompTIA exams, I opted for buying my own study guides online as I know they work. In real life though, it鈥檚 up to you to find the right resources anyways so I guess this could be 鈥渞eal world experience鈥� -Some of the classes were not great, and I felt like there was a bit of overlap with the gen Ed stuff. Lots of project management terminology, etc. Overall, if you are in IT and are debating it, do it. Just make sure you get a calendar and plan your times, it鈥檚 really easy to procrastinate.

I'm just starting the IT program but so far it's really great. It is expensive, but there aren't a lot of fully online options out there and this is one of the few that are actually credible. I didn't want to go to a different online school only to write papers the entire time. The financial department has been helpful every time I needed assistance or any kind of information/advice. You can either call them or chat online with them which is helpful. I also liked being able to do phone meetings with... Read More my advisor on what classes to take next, and there are tutors available via an online portal (EVEN ON SUNDAYS!). I really can't complain. I have to say, I've been taking mostly online classes for a while now even previous to ASU, so if you're not used to having the self discipline and motivation to work, meet deadlines and spend the extra time studying when you're having a hard time with something, I wouldn't suggest doing a fully online program like ASU right off the bat. Maybe work your way by doing online classes at a local community college first.

I haven't graduated yet, but I feel as if though this is still not quite the school I have any business attending, I only did this to get experience for a job and right now my job hunt sucks and it did last year and it probably will this year. Why did I even bother dealing with this school; because nothing is ever good enough for them. I print out a 4506-T "Non-filing," form and shortly after my student page is shut down  - nothing there, I can't log in and I can't do anything as it pertains to my... Read More classes, they sighted me because I didn't have anything to offer to them, of course I know that in 2018, it will be my last year attending online school, on campus is much better, just take classmates, students and professors talking down to you; trust me it's way better than getting no responses from a goofy school like AIU! I can't take them, I gotta, go vomit!

I love attending UOP online with my busy schedule of working and being a wife. UOP is a National accredited online college. The course work is very hard which pushed me to study harder. Don鈥檛 expect UOP instructors to hold your hand , this is something you鈥檙e going to have to do yourself as in the real world, and in the real workplace . UOP learning is intensive as is the work place . A Phoenix will fall down and rise up, However, it depends on your hard work and dedication to earn your wings. I... Read More had lots of lab training to complete for real world scenarios in programming language, cybersecurity, etc. UOP has stepped its college game up . I鈥檓 proud to be a Phoenix Graduate.

I have finished my degree program in CTU with a Bachelors in Information Technology Management. Here is my complete honest review about the school. You do not see too many reviews from people who have actually finished the program, especially with a detailed review. I would rate this school somewhere in between 3.5 to 4 stars if possible. Learning environment The first 2 years were mainly focused on general ed courses which were typically completed through Intellipath. Intellipath is where most people... Read More tend to complain about the most because they do not feel like they learned anything through intellipath. For those of you who do not know, Intellipath courses are basically a bunch of small quizzes usually between 8 to 12 questions long per a section. The school provides you with the reading material to complete each quiz, and it is an open book test. If you fail, you have the option to go back and keep retaking these little quizzes until your score improves. The length of each intellipath varies, I have seen some as small as only covering 5 subjects with 5 quizzes, while others can be 12 and can be very time consuming. The grade that you get for your intellipath quizzes depends on the effort that you put into it. Half ass work equals half ass grades. Further down my program, the last two years of my degree Intellipath had remained absent. Now that I was working on my core classes pertaining to my actual degree, I found myself writing 5 page essays from each class every week. These assignments required that we did plenty of external research in order to complete out assignments. This is where I feel that I have learned the most throughout this program, by doing outside research and writing 10 pages every week combined. On top of that, we also had to write discussion boards which also involved additional research and had to write between 600 to 800 words for each class, every week. This school did have a lot of hands on learning to offer as well from web developing, to programming, and even taking lab simulators. This school also utilizes Lab Sims and in case if you do not know what that means here is what I just copied and pasted: "LabSim is TestOut's learning platform. It delivers our certifications and courses, including our best-of-class IT simulations. It also provides tools for educators to manage and assess student learning. The LabSim courses keep students engaged and allow them to monitor their progress." Through Labsims, they made us watch a whole bunch of content that felt like it lasted forever. There was a lot of content to take in but it was all very valuable knowledge. For my degree plan, we used Labsims for A+ computer engineering learning, Network +, and Security +. However, you will not get your Comptia Certifications from this school but it does provide you with the tools to help you prepare for it. There were also a lot of lab simulations where I had to select different components and plug everything in to build a network as well as troubleshoot virtual desktop computers. When it came to learning HTML, CSS, AJAX, Javascripting, Python and other additional content, there were a lot of hands on assignments where I had to create webpages or programs using expensive paid for tools that were provided for free by the School. I have done plenty of these assignments and am glad to have taken those courses. They were very challenging for me but I am glad to have learned those skills. The Professors When it comes to education the professors are the most important part about school. I have had plenty of good professors who were very knowledgeable in their field. Most of the professors that I had were professional and either had their Master's degree or PHD. Many of these professors have a life time worth of experience working in their career field and many of them currently teach at other universities. I have had a few professors who taught at respectable schools including Harvard and worked at CTU on the side. Most professors that I had were very helpful and had no trouble communicating with them. You are able to communicate with your professor directly through emails or the school messenger chat, including through phone calls. The live chats are usually an hour long, some are 1.5 hours. CTU recently moved over to utilizing ZOOM to conduct our weekly lectures since covid had began. Zoom makes it easier for students to engage with the professor using a webcam, a mic, or through text. What I thought was great was that their lectures were also recorded and If you are a busy person working a full time like me, this came in handy because I was able to view these lectures at a later date. I found these lectures very important to watch to complete my written assignments or my classroom projects. However, I did not find these necessary for Intellipath related assignments, but watching these videos are still very helpful to understand the content better. There is no penalty for not watching the course videos, but I think that there should be because a lot of people choose not to watch these weekly lectures and therefore do not learn anything. I have had a few bad professors in my time with CTU who sucked at teaching, breaking down the assignments, and just did not make any sense. I also had a few teachers that were absolutely horrible with responding to my emails and messages, in one incident the teacher did not respond to me until the night an assignment was due. These bad teachers also failed to clarify my questions and just copy and pasted the project requirements. These bad teachers would also just read their power point presentations like a script which I found very problematic to me, because it was hard to learn. Most good teachers that I had encountered had always went beyond the power point presentation and taught from the heart. Many of the good professors I had were also providing information that was always current and up to date unlike many online schools that I have heard about. Tuition and Costs The Tuition is my main concern about this school because is honestly very expensive. I had to pay out of pocket for the first 2 years because my fasfa and military tuition assistance did not cover the entire fee. My first time signing a "Student Agreement" I had no idea that I was actually taking out a $6,000 loan to cover the costs for the school year. Every month I found myself paying about $250 to $300 out of pocket to pay back their loans. If I had missed a payment, then my phone would be bombarded by what felt like blood sucking vampires almost every week which would become very annoying. Therefore, I just stopped answering their calls and paid on my own terms. CTU does give you the opportunity to lower your monthly payments, however there is a catch. Each fiscal year they give you a specified amount to pay monthly, that way your loan can be paid off each year and you will be ready for the next one. If you lower your payments and you do not finish paying off your current loan, then you will be stuck paying for 2 separate loans by the next fiscal year and they will not combine both payments into one. They will always remain as separate loans. Luckily, i was able to use my Post 9/11 GI Bill to pay for the rest of my schooling, otherwise I would not have been able to complete my degree. Speaking of the GI Bill, If you are currently in the service your tuition rates will be lower, but once you get out of the service, your tuition costs will increase and will be paying civilian price, it does not matter if you are a veteran Another bad thing about this school is that if you choose to transfer your credits to a different school, they will not allow you to request for your Transcripts until your student debts are paid off. There is also a $150 fee you need to pay once you graduate, if you do not pay this fee then you do not get your physical diploma. Which reminds me, when you graduate and pay this fee, you also get 2 copies of your transcripts for free, digital or physical, or both. The good news is that Colorado Technical University is an accredited school just like Colorado State University is. Therefore, other colleges do accept any credits that comes from this school except for fast track courses. I have had friends successfully transfer to other schools with CTU credits. My Overall Opinion I did not have much of a problem with what I learned from this school, I feel like I have definitely learned a lot and I had to work my butt off to graduate. Their assignments can become quite overwhelming in the last 2 years of school. I do feel that there is plenty of room for improvement for education in this school. There were some classes where I felt that the subject itself requires the full 16 week semester course to fully grasps the subject. Professors were happy to provide me with PDF books for additional learning that I had asked for, after the completion of the class. Other classes were difficult because the subject was intense and should not be crammed together in just 5 weeks. However, the Majority of classes I took were well paced and I did learn a lot from them. I feel that this school can use more hands on learning than what was already provided, after all, this is a technical school. I am glad that I went to this school for its education and flexibility with my work schedule, but I would not recommend this school because of the ridiculous costs. The costs is where most people tend to complain about CTU the most. Just keep in mind that this is a For-profit school before you decide to attend CTU. This school has also been known to use sketchy marketing techniques to harass and target veterans for their GI bill money, and because of this, the V.A. has blacklisted this school from receiving any GI Bill funding until they fix their marketing practices. I am not one of those veterans who were harassed by this school, my overall experience with this school has been decent. I just wish that the costs were not going to be a problem with this school and that I could continue to communicate with my counselor. My counselor became unreachable after 1 month of being enrolled in this school.

If you are looking to get a Bachelors degree in Information Technology, I would highly consider you to reconsider. At least reconsider as to what school your going to. I completed my bachelors in Information Technology here at UOP, but what I have learned is that it's useless. I walked away with a single cert, and nothing more which as you may already know, in the IT world. They care very heavy on certs. And you need at the very least the very basic certs such as A+. I got a bachelors in information... Read More technology and I don't have any of the basic certs. I am only learning this after having gotten my degree and checking out the career field. I would recommend you to go on indeed or another job search website, in your local area and type in whatever it career field you want. See what certs you need and go from where. A lot of the jobs require you to have some years of experience in whatever field, at least 2 years but they supplement those years of experience if you have a masters. But again... CERTS. If you dont have any certs, your not going to get into the IT field with just a degree. The company will choose someone who has a degree and all the certs and more, over you with just your IT degree. They will also hire someone with just CERTS and no degree over someone who just has a IT degree and no certs. Because the certs show that you know what your doing. The degree doesn't. Keep this in mind if your going to get a degree in IT. I would also look at another school and see or ask what are all the IT certs you are going to walk away with when completing the program. I walked away with only 1 cert. That was Netowkring+. Thats it. And it still doesnt help me get a job. Just keep that in mind when looking for a job before you decide to spend your GI bill or personal money into getting a degree.

I'm mirroring what another reviewer said. I'm currently going for information science and technology. I'm taking 3 classes: math, a database class, and Spanish. For the DB class, the way to remote to a desktop is via web browser. Whatever tech they use for that is terrible. If you try to copy/paste, it freezes whatever program you're in. When writing SQL code, not being able to copy/paste makes what you're doing extremely time consuming. I'm also not surprised the Spanish course is dropped a lot.... Read More Its a Spanish 1 class and the book is 90% Spanish with no explanation of what you're looking at. The parts that do have explanations are extremely brief. The web resources you are supposed to use are incredibly outdated. They use flash, a technology that most browsers are no longer going to support shortly and flash has been phased out by virtually everyone. The web resources also amount to nothing more than glorified flash cards. There is also the group work required that is an extreme hindrance. Like the other reviewer said, you don't hear from people or they drop the class and you don't know it. I had someone in my group drop from my Spanish class (shocker) and I had no idea. I'd honestly say look elsewhere for an online education.
