University of Arizona Global Campus

• 4 Year (Online)
• Rating 4.06 out of 5  6,910 reviews

Junior: This school is truly amazing. When I had initially inquired I was just looking for information. Then advisors from the school would call me every week to check on me. I did not really have the intention on starting school right away because I had feared that I would not be able to be successful due to working full-time and having two small children. The enrollment coach that was assigned to me was so kind! He was super awesome and supported me and was a great guide to have in the first month I had started. He checked on me, even all the staff there. Super friendly, supportive and helpful staff. If it weren't for the support there, I do not think I would still be in the school today. I have spoken to friends and family about the school and still waiting on a couple to attend the school with me! I have just a year left for my Bachelor's and I am super excited to start my Master's program here as well!...Read 6,910 Reviews

SUM Bible College & Theological Seminary

• 4 Year
• EL DORADO HILLS, CA
• Rating 3.98 out of 5  42 reviews

Senior: One of the best academic experiences I've ever had! Every professor is extremely wise and helpful with assignments. The professors even call the students over the summer to check up on them and see how everyone is doing outside of school. The school work can sometimes feel overwhelming when one doesn't prioritize correctly but it is all very rewarding and practical for someone going into ministry of any capacity. The tuition is considerably less expensive compared to secular colleges and the textbooks aren't very expensive either...Read 42 Reviews

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.

Laurus College

• 4 Year

• Rating 4.3 out of 5  76 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...Read 76 Reviews

Northcentral University

Alum: I have done a few online programs since beginning my collegiate journey in 2008. Northcentral was my second choice for my doctoral degree, and I transferred there after Concordia Portland closed. While I preferred Concordia Portland and their emphasis on community and building servant leadership as well as academia, Northcentral offered some very unique programs that helped me feel confident I was producing research I could be proud of. My dissertation chair was committed to helping me succeed, and the numerous synchronous and asynchronous online resources offered further assistance. Overall, I would recommend this university to those who are looking to advance their education while needing the flexibility of choosing their own schedules...Read 577 Reviews

United States University

• 4 Year
• SAN DIEGO, CA
• Rating 3.81 out of 5  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...Read 16 Reviews

Shasta Bible College & Graduate School

• 4 Year
• REDDING, CA
• Rating 3.33 out of 5  6 reviews

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...Read 6 Reviews

The Chicago School of Professional Psychology - Los Angeles

• 4 Year
• LOS ANGELES, CA
• Rating 3.8 out of 5  40 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...Read 40 Reviews

Pacific Oaks College

• Rating 4.14 out of 5  108 reviews

Senior: I love the courses. I love that there is a lot expected of me. Everything is online now. Not all teachers are engaging. It can be hard to reach some and this makes it difficult if you want to ask questions, and learn how you can do better. That can be both good and bad. We are all adults and we have to figure out how to deal with life's complexities on our own. This is a good way to learn and practice those skills. What I am learning is essential. What I have learned in a year has created a lot of growth in me. My reasoning and writing skills have grown exponentially. I am looking forward to this next year and graduation. Everything I master here at Pacific Oaks will be taken with me to my graduate school...Read 108 Reviews

Your student advisor is assigned to you and will guide you - ask them any questions that you have! As an introvert, I loved the classes. Extroverts, you will have on-campus, honor society, and club opportunities, but the online community is not structured for interactions besides the discussion posts.
