CTU

School not recommended by JIm on February 24, 2010
Review not yet rated

CTU will get you through your degree program fast and thats all they care about. I enrolled in their Software Engineering program and was put in the Advanced Algebra Class after only having a College level Basic Math class over 20 years ago. My advisor told me that is was a simple class and should be no problem. After 2 weeks it was obvious that I was not going to pass. I contact an advisor to switch the class and was told that I could drop it but I was still financally obligated to pay for it. They have a lower level of Algebra class but the advanced is what is required for the degree. Instead of starting me at the lower class they put me right into the higher one. Also a Programing class I was given was to be a prerequisit to Java Programing yet we had to use Java in the class. The instructors english was terrible and when he was asked to slow down and review what he just said we were told he had to much to go over in the one hour we had for the chat and we would have to go back and review it ourselfs later. I would give my money to another school before going back to CTU, if I go anywhere at all as CTU has been a bad educational experience.

No worries. What I enjoy best about CTUO is that most Professors have the attitude that we learn from them, but they also learn from us. I graduated Dec. 2008 with my Assoc in CJ.I changed to CJ, with a conc. in Hum Serv. The Masters Advantage Program is having 2 master courses while you are in the BA program, at the BA. price! I love the DBs, (discussion boards). Tech support is always available 24/7! The most negative experience I have had at CTUO, is being in a group project, and noone but myself did work.The Prof. does not hold you responsible for other's laziness. Wish thay had more KCs, (Knowledge Checks)Join Us!.....Ro Call me and ask questions! 1-203-787-9213! I am also a Mentor. Great to give back! With a Dr's note, you can receive text books which are easier for reasearching! APA is a biggy but practice makes perfect! I gained lasting friendships as well!! You are never alone at CTUO! Student Advisors are also at the ready to help. @ live chats and 2 assignments a week. Plus office hours by the professor. better than a Brick and Mortar School!!

I am currently a student at CTUO and would recommend it to everyone that is looking for a good online university. The format of the website is outstanding and easy to navigate through and most of the teachers are very helpful and understanding if any personal problems shall arise. I will be graduating this August and have been very pleased with the education I have been receiving; I actually transferred from University of Phoenix to attend CTUO. I would have to agree with the other post in saying there is a lot of writing involved and they ensure your next employer will be pleased with your writing skills.

Attending CTU

Attending CTU is a good choice. I will graduate in May of 2009. I like the virtual campus and how it is formatted. The teachers are great, well most of them. They adhere to strict policies and late assignments. I wish they offered out of state grants like Keiser and UMUC does. Furthermore, this school will teach you writing skills. You will learn how to write, write, yes more writing. For the Criminal Justice program, they should offer internships,or hands on training. Overall, it is a descent school to attend. All your textbooks are included in the tuition. Most of the books are online called ebooks, which is great to a certain extent.
