I enrolled in the a masters program with a teaching credential. I intended to transfer from WGU as they did not have an internship agreement with California. I was to begin my program at National on July 5. On June 2 I contacted advisor to ask what courses would transfer from WGU. He said he would get back to me. He never did. I then learned that I was not intern eligible as I needed four classes. I emailed my advisor to ask when I could take these classes and how long this would take . He never... Read More replied. I sent a total of 8 emails asking pertinent questions and he did not reply to any of them. I finally spoke to someone in another department who said he was no longer working there.. His emaila and voicemail was still active however. Another enrollment advisor contacted me and said he would be taking over. I emailed him with my questions. He replied "I'll find out and get back to you." I never heard back. It was now 5 days before I was set to begin my program. I emailed financial aid to find out what, if anything, I had been awarded. I never heard back. I finally sent an email letting them know to unenroll me. No one has responded to that one either. I do not recommend anyone who has any sense of urgency to apply to this school. When you first apply and they are trying to get you enrolled they call four or five times a day.. Once they have you and you have questions--silence.

I鈥檓 currently in an Education program. I鈥檓 two classes away from finishing and I can鈥檛 stand this place anymore. Got a warning letter because I was supposedly being 鈥渦nprofessional鈥� by standing up to a 鈥減rofessor鈥� who thinks that she is better than the students and had a narcissistic attitude, but I get in trouble! I have two degrees from a different school and I was happy there. I had no issues with that school, but here? You get no help, whatsoever. Half of the professors are awesome! The other... Read More half need to be fired! The one-to-one approach doesn鈥檛 work, when they belittle the student. My current academic advisor isn鈥檛 helping either. The only department that did help was Financial Aid! I鈥檓 earning a degree that won鈥檛 help me obtain an online teaching position. If I wasn鈥檛 close to finishing the program, I鈥檇 withdraw! Don鈥檛 go here! It鈥檚 not worth the stress!

I am a working teacher in the public high school setting and NU's online master program really helps me to complete my higher education goal. I find most of the instructors here are very caring and responsive. I don't know how much they get paid for teaching online graduate courses since most of them are working in another full-time job. But I feel most of them actually have gone above and beyond in accommodating their students. One professor, Barbara Wong suggested me to submit my assignment ahead... Read More of the deadlines, so she would grade them with feedback and allow me to resubmit for improvement. This increased her workload but allowed me to learn and improve. And most importantly, getting a better grade, And that is what I call accommodating and helpful to her students. There are a lot of writing involves in completing this course. At the end, I have improved my writing and analytical thinking skills. I would highly recommend NU for working professionals.

DO NOT DO National. I regret so much joining this program. I've had to juggle my classes which are accelerated AND had to deal with financial aid mishaps AND TWICE had emails sent to me notifying me that I would have 24 hours to schedule, study and pay for a required state test before moving on to my next course? My advisor was of absolutely no help, nor were the 'specialists' assigned to me, but I'm still paying $1,895 a month and RISING. One specialist just straight up passed me on to the department... Read More head because "she couldn't answer my questions" and because she had over 600 students in her caseload it was really up to me to reach out and ask questions, not up to her to give me a heads up on program function. On top of that they have just announced they are RAISING tuition, effective IMMEDIATELY. No consideration of grandfathering in the students who are already enrolled and struggling. Classes are accelerated, in some cases, you are reading up to 3 textbooks a month with 2-4 large papers every week. Online meetings are MANDATORY in almost ALL classes but you don't know what day you will be meeting until the week class starts. In some degrees, like mine, you have to make time to drive up to 50 miles out of your way ONCE a WEEK for a class. That is NOT sustainable, nor is it what they said when they said the program was built for a working lifestyle. There is also no room for complaints or feedback as they have a disclaimer in the contract that they can remove you at any time if you start to air grievances. They pointed this out to me when I sent an email for a clear and cohesive timeline of my programs when I got tired of taking last minute required tests. Lots of turnover in financial aid and as a result i had to pay out of pocket to continue my classes for 3 months before it finally kicked in, I revisited the same documents multiple times due to misinformation and mishandling/loss of paperwork. Plus the less than 24 hours to study for an $80 and $160 test. But the closest you'll hear to even an apology will be "I can't speak to what happened before". Research a better institute. Professors here are great but only worth it if you don't mind spending an equal part of energy on your own admin work

The program is fast and online. For student teaching they place to at a nearby school district. The price is really high, but the instructors are ok. I had 3 or 4 different counselors. Some good some bad. The credential representative is terrible. He is disrespectful and makes sure you know he doesn't want to help you. I have met with him and called him a few times and each and every time he was spoken down at me. Others in my program had already warned me that he is rude and disrespectful, but I... Read More was surprised to see to what extent. National University charges so much in tuition, at the very least they should hire support staff that are willing to actually help students and do their job. I would not recommend this school to anyone unless you want to pay high tuition just to be disrespected and talked down on.

I had nothing but problems with National University. I had to repeat the same assignments in every class, regardless of what the class was supposed to teach. I did not obtain valuable knowledge. I did graduation with a 3.7 G.P.A. This is not because they taught me anything.I was denied the opportunity to do an Internship to obtain my teaching credential. I had to quit my job and go through student teaching unpaid because of mistakes on their end. I am not way further in debt than I ever should have... Read More been. I would not recommend National University to anyone who cares about their education.

I felt NCU was excellent! My advisors were easy to contact and were very helpful throughout the duration of my program. What I especially liked was the timing of the courses, and that you didn't have to wait for an official semester to begin, before you could register for a new course.To be able to register based on your schedule- when you finished a class and you are ready to enroll in another- was a tremendous asset. I did not experience any unexpected rate hikes at all, and actually found NCU... Read More to be very accommodating to accept prior Master courses from other universities and apply those credits to the program. Only once did I experience an issue when one of my papers couldn't be formatted to their program, and even though I sent hard copies , faxed, etc., in multiple formats, my grade for that course was affected negatively. I felt they were unfair in the resulting grade. Especially since the professor said it was "A+" material. Other than this, I only have positive remarks to share about NCU.

I am really enjoying my education here at Northcentral University. I like the types of assignments. The experiential learning helps me with the application of concepts in my career. I have been able to apply each of my courses to my current situation. I have been able to benefit from this education immediately and do not have to wait until my degree is completed. I think you get what you put into your education. If you are proactive and reach out to the professor and your advisers as well as respond... Read More to them when they reach out then you will have a good experience. This is an online program and it is not easy. It requires you to manage your time. I love the flexibility because I am a very busy person as most people are and I need to be able to work this into my schedule. I am having a great experience!
