I studied online for most of my courses. The design of the programs allowed me to study at my own pace and earning four credits per course resulted in the early completion of the degree. Most of the professors/facilitators were engaging. The school could improve on the program design for the online degree programs. Professors do not teach, students have to learn on their own through research and reading of texts. It would help to have professors impart their professional knowledge and skills on the various topics covered.
The one-on-one support here is pretty great and hard to beat! My advisor is fully on-board w what I'd like to accomplish and understands my perspective.
I admit that I wish that registration part of the website were designed a bit more intuitively-parts of it are difficult to navigate.

GREAT school for those exploring non-traditional options. Can convert life experience into credits, can do 100% online school, at a campus, or a mix of the two. Lots of specialized degree programs, with the opportunity to customize your degree to EXACTLY what you want to do. Want to specialize in a program or degree area that doesn't exist? You get to create it. All staff I've dealt with have been friendly, positive, and dedicated to seeing students succeed.
