I enrolled for their Ph.D. in Computer Science program. In my first course, I had a very active, kind, and knowledgeable professor. However, the course was designed with very low quality. This is not the professor's fault, as they do not allow the professor to design the course materials. The course consisted of writing one paper a week on quasi-computer science topics (more like information systems or business TBH). The prompts were fuzzy in clarity, and I felt like I was just guessing about what... Read More they were asking me. The prompts might have been written by AI or by someone who enjoyed overusing the words "synthesize", "assess", and "evaluate".

I also watched some of the student oral dissertation defenses. I recall one where a lady was trying to earn her EDD, and she did not speak proper English. She was not professional and used words like "or whatever" in her defense. It was appalling how uneducated she sounded. There was zero pushback from her committee, and she was given nothing but praise and became a "doctor". It was embarrassing and cringe to watch.

Reading the written dissertations was not much better. I read about half a dozen student works, and most didn't follow their own rubric. The literature reviews were spotty with many less-than-scholarly sources. Much of the material was repeated over and over to pad the length requirement.

Worst of all is their alumni. They post on the student "commons" in the learning portal. They are essentially an echo chamber of industry and academia washouts who call each other "doctor" and smell each other's farts. They believe that they should be able to graduate, accomplish almost nothing in their field, and come back as "subject matter experts" who sit on the committees of future doctoral candidates. I expressed my opinion that academic inbreeding is not a good look, and I was disrespected for doing so. It wasn't until an actual faculty member posted the same thing with a link to a research paper that they turned around and thanked him for an enlightening conversation. There were no apologies to me or retractions.

If you care about being taken seriously in research or academia (higher ed) then don't waste your time here. None of those alums have tenure-track positions at reputable research institutions. Some adjunct at best, but I had a beefier, higher resume than most of the alums that I saw, and I only have an MS.

Upon enrollment I was awarded and PELL grant and a scholarship that covered 100% of my tuition and books and because i had a zero student loan balance I borrowed $12,500 strictly for living expenses that they themselves estimated at three times the cost of my tuition and books to which the school said 鈥渘o problem when it is released to the school then it will be released to you as a refund鈥� to make this long story short of that $12,500 that the US Deptf Education shows as being paid to the school... Read More and that I am already accruing interest on I have to date only received $4400 and nothing but the run around regarding when i am to receive the balance owed to me. Then after being evicted from my apartment as i waited for this money that the school has been paid I threatened legal action and now i have been retaliated against as they won鈥檛 talk to me any further until their judicial dept contacts me (and of course i can鈥檛 contact them and they don鈥檛 know how long it will take them to contact me) and they intentionally failed to enroll me in my May class which will now delay my graduation and cause further issues with receiving my financial aid money they they act as though it is their money!!! So avoid this so called 鈥渦niversity鈥� at all costs

Hello, if you鈥檙e thinking about attending this school I鈥檇 reconsider immediately. Everyone that I have encountered, not EVERYONE at the school, just the ones I鈥檝e interacted with or grossly incompetent. The advisors switch up on you almost every 2-3 weeks and there is no transfer of information between them. I had three different advisors in the 2 months I鈥檝e been there and none of them have the same information as the last. Financial assistance? They could not care less if you receive any money... Read More as long as they receive money. You are nothing to them but a dollar sign to receive some more government aid I鈥檓 sure. Went back and forth for over a month and a half and STILL not able to receive any aid because 鈥渙h you need to fill this out too鈥� it鈥檚 just a rollercoaster that ends when your pockets are drained and you鈥檙e no longer their problem. Never would think a fellow veteran who apparently started the school would allow this to happen to veterans in need. It鈥檚 sad when half the staff can鈥檛 answer a question or get you any real answers. I鈥檓 about to lose my apartment because this school is taking so long to pay out MY OWN BENEFITS but somehow they received money for themselves already. Gross incompetence by the advisors I鈥檝e encountered and the staff I鈥檝e spoken too. If you鈥檙e a veteran, don鈥檛 wast benefits here.

One would hope that a school wants to set students up for success and advising is provided from 101-done, meaning first class to graduation. Not, NU-they are genuinely in "it" for the money. Think of it as a corporation and not a school.

PROS: You can work and go to school, COAMFTE certified, and teachers are responsive.
CONS: Required readings/videos are outdated (in my opinion, this violates the Code of Ethics), Advisors do not always respond, professors do not create classes and are moderators more... Read More or less, attaining a practicum is very difficult (which I was warned ahead of time), learning is measured almost 100% by producing papers and PPTs, cost.

I am in a doctoral program with his institution and I keep running into issues with them I have passed my section 1 now there's a problem with me going on to my section too they are not using the money they should be using towards my tuition they are trying to make me pay for additional classes when I'm filling out for resources only have three more classes to go in my dissertation I've had to reach out to the president to get back in school to be able to finish my section 1 this school is ridiculous... Read More I would not refer anyone to come here it's like they're making up excuses and taking tuition money I have not had a financial aid reimbursement in 2 years they can't explain where the money is now they're telling me I only owe $3,000 and won't let me back in school unless it's paid but you're sitting there with my new financial aid money and a new academic School year that will not be applied to this balance because of them this is a setup and I need to be reported I went to Grand canyon and Grand canyon got sued for the same thing maybe national University needs to get a lesson learned

Potential Students, I am writing to provide you with an honest and informative perspective on my experience as a student in National University's Cyber Security program. My journey began in 2020, and while I have encountered some excellent instructors and valuable learning opportunities, there are significant challenges within the program that warrant your consideration. First and foremost, I must address the issue of certain staff professors having excessive power and lacking accountability. Throughout... Read More my time at NU, I have witnessed instances where professors wielded their authority without facing consequences for their actions. This has led to an environment where students feel powerless in the face of unfair grading practices and disputes. One notable incident I experienced personally was the mishandling of a substantial paper submission. Despite providing evidence of timely completion, I was accused of not turning it in and subsequently failed the assignment. Despite my efforts to resolve the issue with the professor and escalate it to the Dean, I received no response, leaving me frustrated and disillusioned with the system. Moreover, the program's lack of flexibility and understanding regarding personal circumstances further compounds the challenges students face. For example, I recently contracted COVID-19, but I remained diligent in keeping up with my assignments. Despite this, I faced indifference and additional hurdles, such as the unexplained addition of extra coursework to my schedule. Additionally, the apparent focus on profit over student welfare is evident in the administration's response to student concerns. Instead of addressing systemic issues, students are often met with dismissive recommendations, such as considering taking alternative subjects or programs. While it is essential to acknowledge that not all instructors exhibit the same behavior, the overarching lack of accountability and empathy within the program detracts from the overall learning experience. As students, we deserve an educational environment that prioritizes fairness, transparency, and support. In conclusion, I urge prospective and current students to approach National University's Cyber Security program with caution and awareness of the challenges outlined above. While there are undoubtedly valuable learning opportunities to be had, it is essential to advocate for change and hold the institution accountable for its shortcomings. Thank you for taking the time to read this report, and I hope it provides valuable insights into the realities of studying at National University.

DO NOT ATTEND THIS SCHOOL!!! Seriously the worst experience imaginable. I've been ABD for more than 2 years now (had a 3.9 GPA when I finished my coursework...got my MBA in only 16 months...) and haven't even gotten section 2 of my dissertation proposal approved. I'm on my second dissertation chair and ready to abandon ship because my work keeps getting rejected for "process" issues. I've even hired a dissertation coach and editor, and both of them as well as my SME (my second one!) approve of my... Read More work but it is still rejected. This has been the recurring theme for years. now. I've had to re-do everything from my problem statement through my methodology TWICE. I'm guessing I'll never graduate and they'll just keep trying to suck me dry of tuition money. DO NOT MAKE THIS MISTAKE. Go to a legitimate school. It's not worth 4+ years of your time, money, and effort to get into a program that WANTS YOU TO FAIL. They don't want to teach you. They don't want you to learn. They don't want you to graduate. I've been enrolled for more than 4 years for eff sake. I'm abandoning ship and finding a school that values their students and actually wants them to finish.

This is the worst school experience I have ever had. The finance department is ridiculous!! Every time I called I got a different story in regards to the status of my finances. It took 3 months to get my disbursement. When you escalate anything to a manager or supervisor all you get is an email of what you can already see in your portal. My last straw was when the last finance rep I talked to actually shushed me. There are other online schools that have it together, this school simply does not have... Read More it together AT ALL!

I had three classes left to graduate with my masters degree, and during one of my courses, I successfully completed everything, but the very last assignment. During that time I was hospitalized for Covid, placed on a ventilator, and was not removed from the ventilator for approximately a month when I was released from the hospital I got out to find that I had been withdrawn from school because I missed my last assignment. I was unable to login to complete a great appeal form which my advisor told... Read More me I I had to complete online through the classroom, which I was obviously unable to do because I couldn鈥檛 login having been withdrawn my credentials to login we鈥檙e no longer Valid. It took me time to get a hardcopy to turn in by then the deadline had passed for the appeal within three weeks of returning home from the hospital,I actually had a collection notice in my mailbox for the class I was dropped from due to my being withdrawn while in the hospital. Not one time did my financial advisor or my student advisor anybody from the school call my phone or try to reach out to me to see what was happening Had one person tried to contact me to find out if I was OK if I was choosing to be removed from the school or what if they would have, they would have reached one of my children who had my phone and would have been informed that I was fighting for my life in intensive care. I was then informed that I could return to school. Once I had paid the full balance of the course I was dropped from. After talking to the department of education and multiple other schools about transferring, I鈥檝e found that most schools have a policy of first, contacting the student to find out what was going on what the issue was, and if they could help in anyway to ensure that that student was able to get through that course at a minimum and also given emergency situations like that and the issues with surrounding Covid Each of the schools I talked To insured me that their students would have been given a credit for the cost of the class given, and would have just had to retake the course. Initially I started with Northcentral University in 2018 When I return to the school after a short time of being out in 2022 i I was not informed that I would be returning as a national university student. I was told that they had merged and I assume that that meant you were a student of both however, when I tried to call technical support one day due to issues concerning not being able to login I was told that I was unable to be helped because I was a national university student because she could not pull up my records Because I was a national university student and at what point in time was somebody going to tell me that? Nobody ever told me that I was re-enrolled under national, and not enrolled back into North Central. And if they had merged as I was led to believe, then why was there a division amongst my records in the records of North Central? And why was I on the national side when I was never informed that I would not be anywhere other than in North Central?And if they had merged as I was led to believe, then why was there a division amongst my records in the records of North Central? And why was I on the national side when I was never informed that I would not be anywhere other than in North Central. Another thing that got me as we have a course fee of 135 for materials one of my classes there was no Book and no materials. The only thing that was provided were links to websites that I could have access myself so I paid $135 to for you to provide links for outside sources??

Let me begin with the positives; The professors in general are topnotch with impressive backgrounds. Out of 26 instructors, thus far, I've only had minor complaints against two of them. Now, on with the negative. The financial aid/academic advisors are poorly-trained on financial aid and its application and disbursement. For instance, I've had a financial aid issue that I originally pointed out in July 2023, and to date, not one staff member has been able to effectively pinpoint its origin or resolve... Read More the problem. In the interim, I've spoken with several "advisors" who have given me embarrassingly conflicting information to no avail. Meanwhile, the "Team Lead" who offered to "help," after two months of giving me the runaround, cavalierly told me, "We don't know why you owe the money, but you owe it." If her attitude hasn't been insulting enough, I was recently advised that I'm the one who caused the issue, because of a form I signed in mid February 2023. However, they conveniently glossed right over correspondence between me and other advisors just a few days later in the SAME month, which would have superseded the "signed document." To acknowledge fault and take ownership of their errors, would be too much like being a model of professionalism and ethics, which they clearly ARE NOT. Lastly, I could go on and on about a new financial aid issue that has arisen and about the runaround I'm being given yet again, but it would only fuel my frustration. DO NOT ATTEND THIS SCHOOL unless you are well-versed in program/class scheduling and financial aid eligibility and disbursement. Otherwise, you will be sorely disappointed. ""

My experience at National University (formerly Northcentral) has been very positive. I know there are a lot of negative reviews and I was hesitant when I enrolled, but I want to add my experience to the conversation. I am in the MFT Master's program, have done very well (3.98 GPA), and have had only positive experiences with all of my professors and advisors. I've never had any difficulty with the financial aid or student advisors; everyone replies within a few days via email. I completed my undergraduate... Read More education at UNC Chapel Hill and the transition to National University was very smooth, with comparable education standards. While tuition is high, this program has allowed me to study full-time and work full-time to support myself. That is very VERY rare! I believe where some people might struggle with this school is the online format and lack of one-on-one support. If you're used to people guiding you through the enrollment, financial aid, and classwork, this probably isn't the school for you. You need to make sure you complete everything required on time and advocate for yourself if you need something. The coursework is rigorous (multiple chapter readings and an assignment each week), but if you are self-motivated and decent at time management, it's really not bad. I feel very prepared to start my career as a therapist, thanks to NU!

Do not attend to National University. The amount of calls and texts I received when I was considering enrolling was insane and when I did enrolled and tried to call/email my advisor or financial aid or any type of department in the university they wouldn鈥檛 answer. They would mess up your account and financial aid that you would receive a letter without a notification from the school via email or call that apparently you are owning them money and that your FASFA is cancelled/didn鈥檛 go through. Then... Read More they will send a your debt to a third party collector to affect your credit without having the decency to notify you via email or call.
