Very pleased with Kaplan
By Tabitha - New Orleans on

I am in my 4th term at Kaplan University, finighing my bachelors degree in Criminal Justics. I have to say, I can't complain about one thing. The Professors are great and they somewhat feel more connected, even though it is online. I have a small child and Kaplan makes it so easy for me to finish my degree, and I have never had better grades in my life. You do have to be disciplined and organized to do well though. I would reccomend KU to anyone who wants to finish their degree!

I just completed one term at Kaplan. I am very pleased with the course work and the professors so far. However, I am very disappointed in the after service you receive once they get your money. I cannot seem to speak to a live person when I need to regarding any questions I might have. My financial aid officer was quite useless, he would not answer a phone call, voicemail, or email. I will add that my academic advisor was some better, she would return my emails and tried to answer my questions. Just be careful when making your final decision to go to Kaplan. You will be fine if don't have any questions or need any help. I will be seriously thinking about switching to a different school this next year. I want to go somewhere that I can get assistance when I need it and they at least appear to care about my problems or issues.
Kaplan

I took classes for 1 term and I have to say the classes were great. They made it very easy to learn and the teachers are knowledgable. Everything about them was above average. The negative.... they (financial/ academic/etc) work rigorously with you and promise you the moon until you sign up and get financial aid. After that you get the run around about the promises of scohalrships, credit transfers, etc.. If all the advisors could get it together this could be one of the best programs out there, however, tread cautiously, could be an expensive mistake.
BS in Health Care-pregrad/preprofessional option

I have to say that I have been to my fair share of the traditional colleges and have take an online class before. I am in my 3 term at KAPLAN and it is the best choice of my life. I was nervous about going back to school for severla reasons, mainly due to the time I had in my schedule to complete the work. I can study when I have free time. There is a lot of writing assigments but all of my professors so far have given fair amounts of time and help to get the assignments finished. You have weekly seminars that you interact with the professor and other students (but if you cannot make it you can do the alternative writing assignment). You haver discussion questions each week based on that weeks learning assignment. It really gets you thinking and it is great to read someone elses view on the material because it can clarify an area that you may no have understood before. I have had an excellent time from the beginning. My admision counselor was wonderful--- we still keep in contact. My academis advisor is great and financial advisor gets back with me when I ask questions (it may take a few days but you can call in for immediate help). I would recommend this school to anyone--- My only note is to be prepared to work for your grades. You will feel accomplished when you have that degree in your hand. I know I will!!!!
Personal Effect of Kaplan

I have achieved my Bachelors in Criminal Justice through Kaplan and have to say my experience was absolutely WONDERFUL....I was able to study in my home and attend online classes with more than adequate help when I needed it.
I am planning on returning for more education and Kaplan is my first choice when considering this new adventure - I simply need to decide which direction to go this time. Thank you all for your help in making me see that even us old broads can succeed in education and the work force....with a little help from our youngsters that are our classmates and instructors as well.
Criminal Justice

I received my Associates Degree in Criminal Justice from Kaplan University and am now working on my Bachelors Degree in Criminal Justice with an emphasis in Forensic Psychology. I thoroughly research online education before choosing Kaplan and found that my decision was not one that I regret.
With any online education program, you have to be discipline, organized, and know how to manage your time wisely. I made sure that I gave myself so much time per day to do my work. The great thing is that I have a week to complete all of my assignments without pressure. The professors, academic advisors, and classmates are all wonderful and helpful.
I like the fact that the courses are geared toward the degree I am working on and not stuff that I don't need. I would encourage anyone who is serious and disciplined about online education to choose Kaplan. I have not, in these three years, had an experience that would warrant me to distrust their concern and care for the students that attend this school.
Criminal Justice

I wonder if they'll post a negative review. It is a sales pitch. You may be able to extend your career with Kaplan but you need to already have decent higher education as it is. For it to be your primary education I wouldn't recommend it. For the average single mother, don't do it. The pressure is extremely, extremely high to sign on the dotted line. They make it sound like it's your savior, but it isn't. They may not get a commission when you sign up but, they get bonus'. It is a loophole to evade illegal admissions practices.
School of Information Technology BS in IT Computer Programming
By Bill - Rochester, NY on

I enjoyed my online learning experience. In general the professors were very helpful and wanted you to succeed in class. The coursework for me depended on the course. Some classes because of prior background were easy. Some like Discrete Mathematics were hard. Overall I would say the coursework was about right in most cases for the credits you received. Classmates were very helpful and everyone was more than willing to help each other. It definitely prepared me for work in IT as a programmer.
