Graduate Student: With over 6 years of active duty service I have accomplished more than I could have ever hoped for. I have earned my very first bachelors degree with TUI and hope to obtain my Dual Masters in Business and Health Administration with them in the near future. All of this is thanks to TUI for their flexibility, dedication, and availability to make this happen. Their staff is both professional and their faculty of professors and doctors are knowledgeable. Thank you so much TUI for helping me reach my goals!

Los Angeles Pacific University
4 Year (Online)
75 reviews
Senior: When first starting at this University, I was apprehensive and unsure. To say that the University was helpful and went out of there way to ensure my success and ability to learn is the proverbial understatement. I have been to several colleges and none come close to the exemplary way the staff and assistants and Instructors demonstrated and have demonstrated as I continued toward graduation and Graduate school. I can understand much better now, why Azuza Pacific has the excellent and well-deserved reputation for the very best possible Higher Education anywhere in the USA or possibly the world, for that matter.

Graduate Student: Hello, I graduated with an Associates degree for Early childhood education in 2018. It was one of the most challenging and amazing experiences of my life! The enrollment process was a bit difficult. I would make sure you ask questions to the advisors. They may seem rushed but they mean well. My teachers were excellent and very helpful. The ECC instructors prepare you for your degree. I did many writing assignments and presentations. I had an amazing instructor who told me about the field not having enough bilingual educators who can help children with disabilities. That was a life-changing experience for me! I understand that online college may seem hard but you need to motivate yourself and set a goal. My colleagues were friendly and overall my experience was great. I want to go back to get my bachelors soon once this pandemic is over!

The program and technology will leave you lacking nothing. I am so grateful that I found SUM and was able to earn my bachelors from this amazing school!

Laurus College
4 Year
San Luis Obispo, CA
72 reviews
Freshman: The staff at Laurus College is what ultimately drew me back in after a decade hiatus of being undervalued in the work force. They are personable, welcoming, and genuinely desire to see every student succeed in achieving their academic goals. Their program is unlike any other I have previously attended. With 5 week classes, opposed to the standard 16 week college course, it is fast paced, and ensures the self motivated student will not burn out on any particular subject. Classes are small so every student receives due assistance from professors. Thanks to Laurus college, for the first time in my academic career, I am motivated, attending every class, and maintaining a 4.0. I highly recommend attendance to anyone holding Laurus College in consideration.

University of the People

Graduate Student: UoPeople - Hope rekindler, Future redeemer.
University of the People has over the years transcended beyond just being my hope rekindler and future redeemer but as well as a game changer and oxygen of aspiration.
However, each new year and academic session in University of the People has not seized to unfold an academic and non-academic improvement, such improvement includes making Arabic one of the learning language aside English language, partnering with the German government to improve funding, increasing the number of scholarship/financial aid to academically assist the less privilege and the underserved worldwide but to mention a few.
Nevertheless, the eminent innovations and improvements annually distinguishes University of the People. May I humbly be permitted and pleased to encourage the interested and aspiring applicants not to tarry to be a student and part of the great and rare citadel of learning - University of the People.

Brandman University

Senior: I'm part of the partnership between College of the Canyons (COC) and Brandman University. Unfortunately, there aren't any on-campus classes for my program (Information Technology) at COC's University Center so most of my experience has been online. Despite that, my online experience with Brandman so far has been great! All the professors seem really passionate with what they teach especially through weekly announcements and participating in their own discussion boards. Some professors also leave behind comments on assignments to let you know how well you did, any good points you made, or any improvements you can make.

Minerva Schools at Keck Graduate Institute
4 Year
40 reviews
Alum: Minerva is an extraordinary institution with amazingly talented students and staff. There are three things that make Minerva unique compared to any other university in the world. First, the entire curriculum was built based on the science of learning. We take tech-driven seminar-style courses and we implement active learning all of the time. Second, we travel to seven different countries aiming to become global citizens who understand the complex dexterity in the world. This gives us a totally new perspective, and you can feel how you are growing with every new city that we visit. Finally, we participate in city-based projects, assignments, and work-study and we finish our education with years of work experience. Genuinely this is the best education I could have hoped for. I am not going to lie, there are some disadvantages and not everything is rosy, but I will never trade the experiences and the friendships that I acquired in these four years. Before you apply, make due diligence.

Niche User: I have been an MBA student at Westcliff University for the last two years. I chose this university mainly because it is convenient for me due to its location and flexible schedule. However, the most important reason that made me decide to register is the prestige of the university and the knowledgeable faculty. The affordable tuition is another very important aspect that had an impact on my decision.The education I have received so far has tremendously benefited my business in the area of consulting. I am now more able to identify client’s problems and address the right solutions. It has also benefited my company due to the fact that I can think about expanding my service by formulating and implementing a better business plan. I am now more aware about the many uses of technology to improve my business and my client’s businesses.

Niche User: I really enjoyed my experience here, and I think that it prepares students well for the future. I was nervous at first about going back to school because I wasn't sure how I would be viewed in the eyes of the other students and the professors, but everyone was super friendly and supporting. Not only are the professors helpful and hard-working but they also have amazing connections that can help anyone get to where they want to go.

United States University
4 Year
San Diego, CA
16 reviews
Graduate Student: I like that my graduate program offers start dates every other month. I also appreciate the payment plan they make available. I change courses every eight weeks which is very fast paces, but I feel that it works really well for me. I never thought I would be enrolled in a graduate program because of the required papers and thinking my writing skills were subpar. I have to say that I have enjoyed this program and I have doing really well. I would suggest that they work better with clinical placement coordination and keep the information consistent for all students. Initially, I was told that the university would be securing clinical sites for students. I found out that it was the responsibility of the student to find clinical sites and to get them approved. I was not excited about that aspect, but I was told early in the program so I have plenty of time to work on my clinical rotations.

Shasta Bible College & Graduate School
4 Year
Redding, CA

Alum: Let me first say that whoever left a one-star review clearly has a grudge and overstated things to say the least. After spending four years on campus, living in the dorms, and earning my BA in Bible and Theology, I can say that this school is a blessing and serves the Lord. I rate Shasta Bible College highly because, first and foremost, they place doctrinal integrity at the top of their list of priorities. Unfortunately, this institution like all is operated by fallen individuals and is not free of problems altogether. For anyone considering Shasta Bible College, I am confident that your life and ministry would greatly benefit from the education this institution can provide.

Northcentral University
4 Year (Online)
544 reviews
Graduate Student: Northcentral University has provided me with a fantastic experience in working toward my Doctoral degree in Psychology with a specialization in Addictions. The academic rigor and work presented has been very high quality and up to date. The staff, including admissions counselors, advisors, financial advisors and certainly the professors have been very supportive and responsive. The feedback provided by professors has been beneficial in guiding the development of my writing and research skills. The coursework makes taking on full time studies along with work and other commitments. Northcentral seems to combine talent from around the country. The assignments have been a good combination of classic information and cutting edge research. As compared to some other universities that I had researched before committing to a program, Northcentral seems to be among the most high quality online universities. I am grateful for the opportunity to advance my education at this school.

The Chicago School of Professional Psychology - Los Angeles
4 Year
Los Angeles, CA
39 reviews
Freshman: The Chicago School of Professional Psychology - Los Angeles is a great location to study because it is in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles (DTLA). Being in the psychology field at this location, allows an individual to broaden their perspectives due to the diversity among the environment. Whether it is due to race or socioeconomic status, everything can be quickly observed. However, because the campus is located in DTLA, the campus does not have food on campus. There is delicious food located everywhere in DTLA!

The faculty and staff are genuine, friendly, helpful, and supportive. It is a small campus, therefore, can be seen as an academic community. All of the professors are willing to provide extra help in succeeding.

Sophomore: I appriacte how the professor are very accommodating and helpful. All the professors I've had so far have been extremely helpful in offering assistance when asked and posting common questions as well as clarification to help each and every student succeed. I also approcate the flexibility that is allowed in an honking class, working full time and taking 8 week intensive courses each semester its difficult but made easier through the way Brandman aligns their assignments, due dates and course work. I enjoy this way of learning and hope to finish my degree here.

Niche User: Even before college was on my brain I was comfortable with CLU! The community is so close together and everyone I have met is so friendly. After applying and being accepted to CLU, everyone I have gone to with questions were so helpful. The counselors and professors are very supportive when it comes to changing your major, which is something I was personally looking for. The average classroom size is around 17 people, so you really get to know your professor, as well as have to opportunity to ask questions!
