Ashford University (A for profit school) enables students to complete their degrees while finding time for family, work, etc. The undergraduate courses are 5 weeks long. The counselors and advisors were excellent and check in periodically to answer and questions the student may have. The quality of instructors varies as with any institution, albeit it is average. The curriculum engages the student and will require multiple papers. Do note that since courses are only 5 weeks long, students can expect... Read More at least 2 thought provoking papers ranging from 3-12 pages in length; not including the title page and references. Courses were diverse which brought together the views of different races, ages and genders. The courses were satisfying and will make the student feel as if the degree plan applies to their respective degree. Upon graduation, the school offers several career advising opportunities to help vector students into their respective career fields. I can personally say that my degree has helped prepare me for graduate school and helped to further my career.

I have been attending CTUO for a little over a year where I have been enrolled in a Bachelor of Science program, with a concentration in Finance. Does the school have faults or deficiencies? Of course it does. I don't believe that every school will be a good-fit for everyone.

My initial exposure, with CTUO, was with my assigned student adviser. He was very good at answering my questions and soliciting responses to what I wanted to achieve in order to marry up my desires with what the school offered.... Read More I have to admit that it was part and partial due to the rapport that he established with me that led me to register. I also appreciated his periodic calls and email messages where he inquired to how I was doing and offering further assistance.

**Likes: I like that the school offers 5-week long courses, making it feasible to achieve a degree program in an accelerated fashion. That can mean a lot of work in a short span of time. Some friends and coworkers state that they need to be in a classroom environment or they might be easily distracted by family, friends, television or other activities. To them, I would not recommend CTU Online or any online college, for that matter. UU直播 education requires a student to have a lot of discipline and self-motivation in order to complete the courses. The important key, however, is a desire to learn. If an individual has little to no desire to learn, then he/she will gain little, no matter what the environment.

**Don't Like: One aspect of which I am not fond is the feedback assignments required of each student to provide to his classmates. We submit our assignments, read those of our classmates and respond to two of them, weekly. The logic behind this requirement is that we do not have the face-to-face interaction with our classmates by virtue of the technology. As such, this is one way to have the students interact with one another. Personally, even when I attend brick-n-mortar schools, I do not necessarily interact with my classmates. Not because I am antisocial (though there may be truth in that) but because my viewpoint is that I attend these classes to learn and garner an education, not to make additional friends.

Another aspect I do not like is that, no matter how many courses one takes each quarter, the assignments are due on the same day. This means that if you take two classes per quarter, you'll have two assignments due, at the same time (usually on Sunday, Monday and Wednesday) and part of which includes responding to two classmates per class.

In a brick-n-mortar environment, classes may be scheduled on differing days allowing for assignments to be staggered rather than simultaneously due.

**Instructors: As in any school, some instructors are better than others. I found most instructors to be knowledgeable and enthused about their field of study. However, some were not very good at conveying the information (you'll find this in any school). In these cases, it was up to me to learn on my own. A nice feature offered by CTUO are the resources made available to assist. You have access to online research libraries, tutorial services and a Learning Center where you might find similar chats covering the desired topic. Using such venues may allow you to find another source or individual from whom you can better understand the subject matter.

**Books and Material: I do not like having to access my books electronically. Call me old-fashioned but I prefer to have an actual book in my hands when reading or referencing material. CTUO seems to have gone to a standard where the books are published by "Works of Wonder" meaning that you cannot readily find other resources for the material such as on eBay, Amazon, etc. I would rather pay a few bucks to have the hard copy version of the text but discovered it is not always feasible with CTUO. Like many things in life, I don't like it but I can adjust.

**Information Technology: I found IT support to be very helpful, at least with the minor issues I encountered. It was great that the school provided MS Office 2010, at no additional cost to the student, as well as MS Project (for my Project Management class), and a pc video cam (for use with my Career Planning and Mgt class). I was also provided with actual books and a DVD for use with my Literature class.

**Transfer from CTUO: The caveat, with attending this school, is that the credits may not be fully transferable to a school that does not offer Quarter Semester Hours. Transferring to a local 4-yr state college, many of my credits have been accepted (not much of a need for Accounting or Financial Statement Analysis if going into Psychology).

However, I was not granted full credit. For instance, although my Literature course was accepted, I was only credited with 2.67 Semester Hours instead of the 4.00 identified by CTU. Nevertheless, my credits were accepted confirming, in my mind, that the school is accredited. Otherwise, I would assume none would be accepted.

**Costs: As a military member, I pay $210 per credit hour as compared to $250 per credit hour at my local college. A main difference, between the two, is that while a member of my state militia, I can attend a local school for very little to no money, out-of-pocket. Again, my reasoning for having attended CTU Online was due to the accelerated courses and my circumstances that dictated I obtain my degree as quickly as possible; circumstance that have since changed.

**Job Placement: I cannot speak to anything with respect to this as I have not yet been in need of these services.

**OVERALL: This is only my opinion based on my personal experience, with this institution, but I have very much enjoyed my experiences at CTU. My reason for leaving is that I am changing my major, from Finance to clinical Psychology, which is not offered there. If not for this, I probably would stay as it offers the benefits, services, and features that I desire from a school.

I'm very unsatisfied. It has done little to enhance my knowledge. I had a 3.42 GPA my first few months give or take about .03 points but got dropped because one teacher graded few assignments so finished with a low c abd my GPA dropped to a 2.68. I've had bad experiences with half the instructors. Everytime I get up to a 3 or higher they accuse me of plagiarism even though even I run through checker it rates at a zero or one percent similarities and everything is document therefore instead of getting... Read More decent grade I don't. I would not recommend this school to anyone. I didn't review when I applied but lately have and majority of people have more negative then positive to say.

There are a lot of negative reviews for National University. After spending four mostly great years there I was pretty surprised to read such negative remarks. I cannot speak about the situation with Financial Aid as I pay for my classes, so I had no experience with that. However, the set up of the online classes is amazing and easy to navigate. About 98% of my teachers were amazingly helpful and I have taken over 20 classes there. The instructors have been very considerate of the students needs.... Read More I am guessing that most of the former students with negative remarks struggled to succeed in such an independent, fast-paced environment and that is the cause of their negative experience. From my experience online classes at most colleges are more difficult than on campus classes, however National had the best set up for online classes that I have ever seen. The best advice I could give someone considering National University, or any online school, is to be honest with yourself about whether you really can display great self-discipline and successfully manage your classes. It takes a lot of dedication and hard work. I would not have been able to finish my degree at this time in my life without National University's online program. It is an excellent choice for those who cannot make it to on-campus classes. Good luck to everyone!

MSU Denver is an okay college . If your main goal is to save some money or work frequently while attending college this is for you ! It honestly won鈥檛 be my first choice because of the location ( moderate crime area ) . However the college of business is stellar ! The teachers are awesome but use rate my professor. The curriculum wasn鈥檛 too bad. There are also free food opportunities and great ways to get involved . The other downsides is parking is expensive and the light rail was 150 dollars per... Read More semester which can get super expensive . Avoid the bookstore if possible because they overcharge. Use Amazon or purchase directly on the Books publisher site . Overall a great place to start or transfer too .

The UNF campus feels like home. The grounds are always maintained with plenty of greenery and you will even find little animal friends along your class commute. The campus itself is a wildlife sanctuary! You will run into curious turtles, baby alligators, snakes and plenty of birds. Other than the scenery, they have an amazing academic staff. Every professor truly wants to. be there and makes your education feel respected and valuable. The college is also is a solid location, closed to shops, restaurants,... Read More grocery stores...everything you could possibly need and more.

I feel like the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse had everything I could dream of. I feel like it had the small town feel, but still had a student population where you didn't have class with the same people every-time. I really enjoyed the campus layout as well. It was all close-knit together and that really helped especially during the cold and snowy Wisconsin winter months. The academics were really good as well, as I believe UWL is the best value school in Wisconsin when I looked up 鈥渂est colleges... Read More in Wisconsin鈥�. The people there as well really make it the best as well. I can say I am a little biased, as I met my future wife at UWL. But overall, it was a great experience and I wouldn鈥檛 trade it for anything in the world!
