Ed.D.

Beverly - April 30, 2009

My course work was challenging. The tuition was affordable and manageable given my demanding work schedule and family financial responsibilities. The staff is highly professional and most helpful. The academic standards of CCU are high. I have learned much more from these courses than I did an another state university. The program suited my personal and professional needs. I am quite proud to be a CCU student.

A.S. Psychology

Brandi B. - April 7, 2009

I received my degree in February from CalCoast and the college is what you put in to it. If you are disciplined and honest with yourself, then it can be a good learning education. I enjoyed the independence and the work and got my degree in 13 months. Granted, it is NOT regionally accredited and that WILL hurt you if you try to go to another college to further your degree or even find a job. While some employers don't know the difference between regionally and nationally accredited, some do. If you live outside of California, IT WILL MATTER. You also, most likely outside of California, WILL NOT be eligible for licensure in Psychology. So just be aware when making your decision for your future when considering licensure.

Degrees from California Coast Univers...

George - March 2, 2009

I was a little concerned when I first began my course with CCU, but that soon disappeared as I dealt with the highly professional staff. They were a great assist, and were always excellent in giving whatever information I needed. I have taken traditional degree work in University/college settings, and I can say that the course work was equal to any residential course work I experienced. It's a great University.

I dont like this school and be skeptical

Daniel Meiske - February 17, 2009

I graduated from this school on 4/20/2006 with a bachelor of science in management and this school is awful. I wanted to cancel right away since nobody ever told me, and learning on my own, that they are not regionally accredited. I went through the courses quickly because there was never any real help. I don't like this school, when you need help on a course you call a number and the person on the other line doesn't help. I tried getting a refund but no such luck so I had to finish the program.

I think this school is like a diploma mill. There are courses, but no help when you need it, and they even ruined an Ex FEMA chief due to accreditation. If I had money I would sue this school and have them close down. I felt as though I didn't earn my degree but just paid for it.

I contact CCU now to complain again and ask for a refund, but no such luck. After you graduate then good luck finding a job with this type of degree, I think it's worthless.

Ed.D.

Gary - January 11, 2009

I can assure anyone who is skeptical about online/distance education that California Coast University is an outstanding school. The work I completed was extremely challenging, even more so than several doctoral classes I had taken on campus at a state university. The faculty and staff always went beyond the call of duty to be helpful, and I feel my experience at CCU provided me with the latest online learning tools as well as quality instruction/coursework. I recommend CCU without reservation to anyone who is willing to put forth diligence in pursuing an advanced degree.
