I'M ALREADY AND STARTED IN THEIR BACHELOR'S PROGRAMS AND WILL BE DONE BY 9/09. Its 5 1/2 weeks of online school per term with optional live chat; you have your due dates and assignments laid out for you; you just have to commit to finish them on time and study on your own. Its pretty quick and fast. I like the 5 1/2 week program the best versus normal online school that are approx 8 to 12 weeks per semester. What I would improve would be that it should be lower tuition - it really is pretty expensive to go to this school however, its reputable and acceptable in the business world.

Criminal Justice

By Catherine Craig - Sherman

I finished my bachelor's degree at CTU. While the taking of two subjects was very intense in the accelerated program and then working two jobs on top of it the experience at CTU was worth it.

I enjoyed the virtual classroom environment and the variety of subjects offered in the degree program. Many people think of online colleges degrees as gimme's. Maybe with some colleges but not this one. You have to work hard for that grade. I have attended both traditional and online campus colleges. I have found the online to be harder. It requires a lot more discipline in order to get your studying done. If you are not good at time management online classes may not be right for you.

I chose another online college for my Masters as CTU did not have a Master's program at the time. I wish they had and I would have stayed with CTU though I do like the college I am attending online for my Master's degree.

With gas prices so high and some distances so far for traditional colleges I can see online colleges becoming more popular.

BSBA in Business Management

CTU was a great experience for me. I had looked in to other online schools and found the way CTU operates worked best for me. What I enjoyed the most was the virtual classroom. We had lectures twice a week for each course which were live and interactive. If you couldn't make the live session the chats were archived for viewing later. Those chats made asking questions much easier and you got your answer right then.

It was a lot of hard work but you will learn a lot! Coursework consisted, usually, of a discussion board posting and an essay due in each class each week. With two classes at a time, this meant a lot of work. I learned how to write better papers, critique others in both their pros and cons without being cruel, and how to find great references.

Good grades are not handed out. You definitely have to earn them here! The cost of an online school may be higher than many brick and mortar schools, but it was well worth it to me. Having to work hard to get the grades I got made the cost even more worth it! I don't have any regrets and I plan on going back for my MBA in January 2009. Wish me luck!

Why I love Colorado Technical University
May 26, 2008
By Alleyne - Charlotte, NC

I attended CTU online and completed my bachelor’s degree and I am 3 classes away from finishing my MBA at CTU.

Thank God for online education, otherwise trying to fit in Brick and Mortar classes into my work schedule, I may never have gotten a well needed education. I like CTU because it offers the ability to learn through research.

The courses are rigorous and the expectations and standards are high. I have to fight for every grade I get with my professors and at times I get discouraged because I don’t always get that “A” that I love, but then I realize that CTU is not in the business of giving away their degrees, you have to work hard and earn every bit of your grade.

One of the great features of being a student at CTU is that you have lifetime access to the Virtual Campus, lectures and tutorials on a variety of subjects. It's like you can keep on learning forever for free. I can listen to subject lectures on MS Project 2003 and 2007, MS office suite and Math tutorials, not to mention the great online library available 24 hrs a day.

Also, there are many clubs focused on real world situations like the entrepreneurial club, the project management club and many more clubs hosted by top notch professional in the industry.The cost for attending CTU seems about the same and these days with $4.00 per gallon gas, it even seems a whole lot cheaper.

If your goal is to get an education with out all the other distractions of life, get to the meat of subject matters and gain certifications through higher education, Colorado Technical University affectionately known as CTU is the place to be. The 5 ½ week classes are intense and can often be kin to a mother in child’s birth, but at the end, you learn, you appreciate and you can stand up to any rival on subject matter. I am glad I attended CTU Online.

Business Administration: Management

CTU online accepts your associates degree in full and then allows you to finish your bachelors degree in an accelerated program which lasts 15 months earning certificates along the way.

The learning is valuable and you communicate with many students, it is a supportive learning environment and I think this is a wise step towards enhancing your career.

CTU Online
May 7, 2008
By Krista S. - Arlington

I started last summer at CTU and for the most part have loved taking online classes. Having been to a traditional college I found I had a hard time listening in classes. With online classes I can do the work when I am really able to focus.

CTU does 2 classes every 5 weeks with one week in between. The cost of classes I found to be comparable to other schools. I know it was the same cost as University of Phoenix, only their classes took 10 weeks not 5.

Since getting my degree is also a time sensitive issue, I like how quickly I could do it. I just finished my Associates degree and will have my Bachelor's done in about 22 months.

Business Administration

By Jeanne - Mississippi

I loved the online school. It really freed up my time as far as being a single working parent was concerned. The course work for Business Administration was tough and very involved. But I enjoyed it all the same.

At Colorado Tech we had 2 classes for 5 weeks then a week off then 2 more classes for 5 weeks. It would seem that with the classes being so short, that you would miss a lot of information and instruction, but I did not find that to be true. I would work on my assignment until sometimes 3 in the morning.

There was a lot of research. Also each class required a group project. They could get pretty tough and sometimes took weeks to finish.

We had many tools to help us perform our tasks. There were live lectures, interaction with the professors and other students, a library, and my favorite a citation machine.

The other drawback was the expense. It was very expensive. Although I didn't finish my degree (and I plan too soon) I find that the education that I got from Colorado Technical University has helped me in my career. I use a lot of the information that I learned everyday.
