I am very grateful to have heard of their self paced competency based, fully online Master of Arts in Organizational Leadership program. I enrolled in it back in September 2024 and I graduated a month ago. The six month subscriptions makes tuition very affordable. My academic advisor, Scott, was excellent. I was always able to keep in touch with him and be enrolled in a new set of courses after completion of the graded ones. I believed that each of my classes were challenging and prepared me for...

Outstanding school and program for the working professional trying to move up to executive, training or director level. Brandman faculty and staff are helpful and knowledgeable. The few administrative issues with schedule and finance were worked out in no time. The classes are challenging and beneficial with a logical schedule that culminates in your final assignment. My capstone class is a few weeks away and look forward to finishing this useful and exceptional program.

This was such a horrible experience! i was just trying to get my Master's degree. these people are rude and inconsiderate. At the time the University was being sold by Chapman University out of Orange County and us student's didn't really have any choice. The financial aid department became Crooks and charging us for drop classes. And the financial aid department just went down the drain. This University will find any reason not to give someone their diploma. I got one from the University back in... Read More

After high school I attended a community college from 2003 to 2005 where I played baseball and achieved my AA in Liberal Arts. Following that experience I was recruited to play at a CSU in Northern California. When my eligibility was up I didn't want to attend anymore when the realization of my baseball career ended sunk in, so I took almost six years off. During this time away from school I learned who I was as a person and found myself wanting to accomplish my goal of getting my BA. I visited Brandman... Read More

I cant say enough good things about Brandman University and the staff the atmosphere of learning was great, there was always someone there to help and point me in the right direction. I dont expect to gain much from the other students on the subjects we was studying but their real world knowledge on the subjects exceeded my expectations and justified my choice for choosing Brandman.

I've enjoyed the instructors and the individualized one-stop specialists that work with you on your financial aid ,enrollment registration it's nice that you don't have to go to different departments all questions that I have the same person is able to assist. I am enjoying the content in the organizational leadership degree I do wish they offered more subjects when fifilling electives. Brandman is very limited with class offerings for the graduate program. Tuition is lower than other graduate programs... Read More

Earning my MAOL at Brandman set me on the course toward running my own Leadership Consultancy firm. During the program I was working in a corporation and was able to bring much of what I learned to the work place. When I started my program, I had a team of 10 people I was responsible for and only a few years later I was VP of Organizational Development and was responsible for the talent management of over 900 people. In 2008 I decided to launch my own firm, providing leadership development services... Read More

I am currently in the Capstone course to finish my Master's Degree in Organizational Leadership. I am active duty military stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, WA. I am not sure why I jumped into the program when I did, but it has been a great experience. I have had zero issues with the staff and faculty in my location. I understand that many organizations with multiple locations can create a bad experience that spreads like wildfire; however, that is not the case with every location. The staff... Read More

I recently started my MA this year (2016). I have known two others that have went to this University in the past and had great experiences AND have used their graduate degrees so I decided to meet with the advisor at my campus (in WA) and she was so supportive and informative. She created a potential ed plan, gave me upfront costs and we talked about how classes are. I felt confident about it. I've completed two terms and I've truly enjoyed it meeting other students and the diversity of the instructors.... Read More

Totally enjoyed each class and every instructor, the courses were challenging however, the professors ensured we were well equipped and prepared throughout each course of instruction. I can not speak for campuses outside of Washington, but the problems were few and the satisfaction high up here in the PNW. Don't focus on the negative posts, this is a great University, get in there and work toward your desired end state.

Transformational Leadership is Organizational Leadership with heart. It aligns very well with my personal beliefs that every person is a resource and should be respected and treated as such. It is mostly online allowing working individuals to go to school on their varied schedules. At the same time it organizes local cohorts so you have group support. Webinar seminars could be more interactive and mentors could be more available.

Online courses balance online discussion and deliverables. The downside is the ongoing student interaction that is found in the classroom

PRO - I love the hybrid model. Taking classes on-line and in person has made this a accessible, yet challenging program. It provides some of the best instructors in the field, all of whom are currently, or have at least recently, been working in their respective fields. CON - given the student body comes from diverse backgrounds, it would be nice to have the faculty also come from the same diverse background.

I am happy to have selected Brandman University to pursue my MBA. Not only have I had access to truly great faculty, but I've also met other career-minded peers along the way, whom I will keep in touch with after I graduate. Brandman offers a five-star education at a relatively affordable price.

I've never seen anything so messed up in my life. You have to go through the "One-Stop" system at Brandman, instead of just calling directly to Student Accounts to get something fixed.
It's now two weeks since the error on my student account was discovered. No resolution. They're trying to nab $468 and change that I don't owe. I'm really disgusted with the whole process. Or lack of process I should say.
Professors: some good, some bad, some teach multiple classes and the content is almost identical.... Read More
