It works for working and not being able to go to scheduled classes, but be prepared for push back every time you want to do more than the bare minimum classes each semester. Every semester I've tried to get more than 12 hours, and every time they say 'start with 12, and add more after' I'm 38 years old, I think I know how my brain works for education. The degree counselor is younger than me, but telling me how my work ethic works like they've ever met me in person. And I've been through 3 different... Read More counselors, so fairly certain it's the college telling them how to do it. If I could afford (time or money) to go elsewhere, I would, but unfortunately options are limited for this type of schooling so far.

Before I started at CSU Global, I read many reviews on different sites. The reviews were mostly positive, but I remember one that called CSU Global a degree factory. Having completed by BS in Business Management last year, I must agree. But is that such a terrible thing? You still must work to earn the degree, and I did learn quite a bit...but at the end of it all, I just wanted that expensive piece of paper and notation on my resume/LinkedIn. These days, bachelor鈥檚 degrees are really a basic requirement... Read More and check-off for a lot of jobs. Most recruiters that I have spoken to, do not put much weight on where or how you earned a bachelor鈥檚 degree, they just look to see if you have one. Some recruiters have indicated that they like to see a remote learner for a remote job as it shows that candidate proved their ability to be self-motivated and hard working. CSU Global Pros: *100% online-you never have to set foot on a campus. Since CSU Global is primarily for us non-traditional students with jobs, families etc, this is invaluable. *Courses are 8-week terms rather than traditional 16-week semesters; this saves a lot of time. *Fully accredited and part of the Colorado State University system. It is not-for-profit and is respected. *Same tuition for in state and out-of-state learners. Most other online, non-profit schools charge out-of-state tuition. Additionally, your tuition rate is locked-in and will not increase during your degree-seeking (provided you are enrolled with no significant breaks). *Up to 90 credit hours can be transferred in. I transferred my associates degree (of which most of the 60 credits were accepted) and I completed 10 elective courses (30 credits) alternatively at Sophia.org and 1 elective course (1 credit) at Study.com. This saved me time and money. Note though that if you go this route, the alternative credits are unlikely to count at most traditional schools. So only do this if you plan on graduating from CSU Global or anther online school which accepts alternative credits. I earned these 31 credits in about 4 months鈥� time and for about $500.00. Compare that to traditional school: these credits would have taken an entire academic year and cost over $15,000. *Online library, tech support and free (or rather, included with tuition) tutoring. I found myself needing this for a statistics course and it really was helpful. *You are assigned a success counselor who reaches out to you, offers suggestions, and can help with planning. I found them to be helpful and available. Try getting that kind of help at a big, on-campus school. Cons: *This is subjective...but I really hate how Colorado State University gives each of its three campuses different school colors, logos, and mascots. There is the real CSU in Fort Collins with the green and cold colors and ram logo. Then there is CSU Pueblo, which used to be University of Southern Colorado, with blue and red colors and lobo mascot. This leaves CSU Global with a completely different logo, red and gold colors, and an eagle mascot. "Who cares?" you may ask. Well, other online schools keep the colors, logos, and mascots the same across all campuses. This adds cohesiveness, connectiveness and adds a bit more intrinsic value to the degree. My diploma reads: "colorado state university SYSTEM." Obviously, I wrote it this way for emphasis...but I HATE that it says "SYSTEM" so blatantly. Why not at least "Colorado State University Global"? But SYSTEM? This gives it a for-profit look and feel, and it also feels a bit like a consolation prize or a cereal box diploma. *Draconian drop period. You have one week to drop a course for full credit (or to not be held responsible for the tuition). The first week of most courses were easy and laid back, so one does not have time to get a feel for how the instructor is or how difficult the course will be. I lost about $1,000 by having to drop after the second week. Most other schools I attended offered a tiered drop period for three weeks. If you drop by week three for instance, 50% refund on tuition. This may be CSU Global's policy for the sake of the policy, but in fairness, as the courses are eight weeks instead of 16, this may be the reason for the short drop period. *Course are proctored by "instructors" rather than professors. These instructors are highly qualified and most hold a Ph.D. I found most to be knowledgeable and accessible while others seemed to just be collecting a paycheck. But you will find this at on-campus schools as well. *Papers. Lots and lots of papers. And you will forever hate three letters for the rest of your life: APA (American Phycological Association) as its format is used for all papers. Because there are few courses with tests, papers which show the student's knowledge of the topics are used. Expect 6-7 papers per course. If you are more of a test-taker, CSU Global is not for you. I believe the pros far outweigh the cons. If you are looking to advance your career or fulfill a goal of obtaining a degree later in life, CSU Global may be for you. You do learn more about your chosen field and earning your degree is an amazing feeling. If you love taking tests or want your degree to be viewed the same as an in-person learner (in terms of going to a school with a recognizable logo), CSU Global may not be your best choice.

The professors are genuinely there to help teach and educate their students. With that said, the issues are with the degree plan. The class requirements change resulting in needing more credits to earn your degree. In my case, I had 300 level courses in accounting completed. I took a leave due to COVID, then when returning to wrap up my last three classes, my 11 credits for accounting were removed and replaced with needing 10 more credits in basic 100 level accounting. This resulted in needing five... Read More more classes instead of the three left on my transcript. This makes no sense at all and seems to be a ploy to scam more money out of students. I was assigned all my classes and never deviated from the credit recommendations given to me.

Aloha, I currently live on the island of Maui and after attending University of Hawaii for a few semesters I realized that I wanted to attend an online based education. I started this journey at Argosy University Online which was a joke and took a break for a couple months and then extensive research I found Western Governers University. Their enrollment department counselor M.G. was very informative and courteous in helping in my enrollment and am looking forward to finishing up my Bachelors degree...

I would like to start off by saying that Excelsior College is one of the better colleges I have attended over the years. I know all colleges have their faults but mine were minimal once I got to know and understand how Excelsior works. I had attended both other online schools and traditional colleges but Excelsior seemed to fit how I like to learn the best. For the most part many people who have had a better experience at Excelsior were not in the nursing field. I have heard from other who took nursing... Read More courses that the CPNE was hard and in particular if you were a seasoned LPN because they want you to do the CPNE a certain way and as we all know people have a tough time with change! My degree is in Business and Management and I felt like I learned a lot and all that I learned is relevant to my degree. I did know many things already but many of the courses built on one another. I would definitely recommend Excelsior and have to others looking for an online school to attend. I feel once you understand how the classes are run and what is expected many people can and should have success at Excelsior. I would give them an overall 4 stars only because of a few problems I have had but once they were taken care of all was golden.

This isn't a bad college, and it seems like most of the complaining is coming from people complaining about financial aid. Is that all people sign up for? You have to put maximum efforts into your schooling, it tells you that in the handbook. They tell you how much the classes are before you sign up, so it's no surprise how much the classes are. The instructor post videos to help you further your knowledge, but you also have the center for math that offers tutoring, so those of you who are complaining,...
