I really needed a place where I could get this done as fast as possible at a resoniable price. My job depended on it. I am also a single mother and I did not want to be affected by high cost. My admission rep was Damian. He helped me so much from day one he wanted to know my goals and what I wanted and did not force enrollment upon me. From day one I wasnt a number I was a student. Thanks D. and CCU!

I thoroughly enjoyed graduate coursework in psychology at California Coast University (CCU). It is topnotch and uses critical tests that provide a meaningful understanding of human behavior. This is why I like and recommend California Coast University’s DETC accredited distant learning program.

Having done graduate work in psychology, attending classes at 3 different bricks & mortar universities, I will NEVER, EVER sit in another graduate psychology classroom and be forcefully indoctrinated into the latest pop fashion “theory du jour.” I do not need the classroom’s countless brainwashing of a theorem and methodology that I MUST follow.

I can only speak for myself and that is California Coast works and deserves to be recognized for the important role that they fill and the service they provide to the academic and professional community. BUT, you MUST have self-initiative and discipline, be a self-starter, and take responsibility for your learning and education in any distant learning program. But this is true in any endeavor in life among those who are a cut above and strive to get ahead.

CCU is ideal for a career person who is still growing, advancing, and always moving on to bigger and better career options. And, yes, the exams are open book and try as I might I never scored 100%--again to the credit of CCU for designing exams that are fully comprehensive and accomplish the goal of achieving results-oriented learning. I rate CCU’s required texts as extremely high quality.

Not only do they accomplish their goal, but impart information generally not available elsewhere. I was able to get these on inter-library loan through my federal workplace Library and I also purchased some for my personal library. In at least one course, I contacted the textbook author and made suggestions for a later edition.

I have been attending CCU for about 1 1/2, I take 2 classes a year. It is all I can fit into my schedule.

So far, I have found that I have learned more than I ever did at either traditional or typical on-line classes.

But it is not easy. The main difference seems to be that CCU requires proof that the material was learned. You cannot just cram, spit it back out and then forget it.

Staff is professional. Coursework has rigor. I never had a single problem with the school or curriculum.

Courses were very interesting and the staff and faculty were very helpful.
