I would not recommend this school as I have had nothing but problems. The enrollment councelor lost paperwork then mysteriously found it after I yelled at him. This was paperwork to get transcripts as they insisted on ordering them themselves. Because of this, the financial aid kept harassing me for money even though I had financial aid approved due to the proper paperwork from the enrollment councelor not being turned in. Advisement said they had all the paper work (lies upon lies). The second quarter, I was advised I could drop a class three weeks before it started. I am unemployed and that $747 that the business department was trying to collect was an extreme hardship. Three different departments did not advise me correctly but the business department wanted their money and didn't care. It comes off as a bit of a scam there. They didn't try to collect until after "their deadline for dropping the class". So now, I have to pay for a class I didn't take. They don't care and only want money. The Financial Accounting class, I had problems. The teacher would mark problems wrong then refuse to tell me how I got them wrong. It was like pulling teeth in that class. Don't go there, it is a waste of your money and the classes are way too easy. I have never had such a difficult time dealing with a school.

The classes are very competitive, and I love the program although online and not face to face with a Instructor you are able to learn alot. It gives the feel that you are actually in a classroom setting. There are so many programs out there but I highly recommend Grand Canyon University, what I really love is that it is a REAL institution not one that is just online and you do not have the ability to visit the campus.....

I loved the overall atmosphere and the small class sizes. I think it prepared me very well for my current job as a investment banker. One thing I didn't like was the fact that some of the teachers were very ignorant.

Even though the classes were online I feel like I got real master's level education. The classes were tough, but I felt well prepared for the exams. I would highly recommend this program to anyone looking for advancement in their careers!

I was extremely frustrated during my process through their program. They changed the requirements twice. The courses were misrepresented. I even took some that were no longer required. When I was actually able to speak to someone as an academic adviser (which was almost never) they gave me incorrect information and contradicted each other. The only people who were on the ball and focused was the business department that wanted my payment.Frusterating and irritating.

The technical aspects were also frustrating. Slow, down often, and the professors were not informed of some important details.There are so many programs out there, that I would definitely have switched if I wouldn't have lost all of the time I already put in.Pick someone else.

The instructors were caring professionals who seemed to understand that the majority of students are working adults with families who already have very busy lives. As a result, both the program and the classes were highly streamlined and flexible, which really helped to minimize the number of questions and problems that came up. Something else which made a great impression on me was the broad range of students in my classes. There was a wonderful diversity of fellow learners in my program, not only in terms of geographical location (people from all over the country, as well as several from Europe and Asia), but also in terms of age, and all levels of professional experience.

I believe it was a real advantage to have such a diverse collection of students; many times I felt that I learned as much from my peers, many of whom openly shared their life as well as educational experiences, as I did from the formal course materials. It was truly enriching in ways that I do not remember associating with my earlier, traditional college experiences.

The school did have some problems during my 15 months as an online student. There were server outages and slow loading times that caused a good deal of frustration early on (although it was much improved by the end of my program), difficulty reaching faculty at times, lack of leadership at others, and some failures to communicate important class or program information. I largely attribute these flaws to the fact that Grand Canyon University may have been overwhelmed by the popularity of its online programs, and perhaps wasn’t completely prepared for the large influx of new students.

However, I found that the university was willing to acknowledge its mistakes, to correct or mitigate the problems that occurred, and to graciously extend due dates and deadlines when needed. These are a few of the reasons why I would endorse Grand Canyon University as a very good school for those looking for a quality online education. They never forgot that the individual sitting at the other end of the computer isn’t just a customer, but a student and a person.
