Pushy telemarketing calls!

School not recommended by Nikki on August 03, 2009
5/8 people found this review helpful

My spouse and I are both thinking about furthering our education. So, we are looking at online schools due to crazy schedules.

"Regis" from Ellis' telemarketing dept (aka admissions advising dept) keeps calling my house! My wife and I have told him we are not interested in his school, and we don't want to receive any more phone calls/emails/mail! He talks like a door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesman. He has been rude to my wife several times as well as pushy. If he calls our house again, I will complain to the BBB.

I do not recommend Ellis University to anyone

I had attended Ellis University for about 9 months and completed 7 courses. I have had a miserably unchallenging and unoriginal experience and since they do not have financial aid, I can't even go back there just so I can finish. What a waste of my time!!!! I was told I had to pay cash! I could have gone anywhere and was misled to come here. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. Check out the HLC disclaimer too... accreditation is in jeopardy.

MBA program.. a great experience

I am half way completed with my MBA, specializing in marketing, and have really enjoyed my experience so far. Coursework is designed to help full-time workers like me get a quality education. Each course I have taken so far is pertinent to the business world and I feel like the skills I have learned will definitely apply to the real world. I highly recommend Ellis University. My academic advisor has done a great job staying in communication with me and keeping me on pace to graduate in a little over a year!

This is the best online degree program ever. Not only do you get to start a new class every 6 weeks. the school is fully accredited, the only program is affordable ,and they also have several scholarships program that you can apply for. But most of all , it was real life hands on training and the courses and coursework was excellent I have obtained a masters degree . in less than 18 months, this was superb, !!!!!!!

Number one, it is online and accredited. There are so many scams with colleges- and they aren't even accredited, which essentially means that the degrees that you get from a non-accredited university or whatever aren't even worth the paper they are written on. All the usual pluses of good instruction, convenience. Mostly they were willing to invest a lot of time in sending me info, talking to me, so on when I was deciding what i wanted to study and if I even wanted to go there. That was really nice. Did not like the fact that for the Lit concentration you only had nine courses to choose from. You have to take five courses- it wasn't much of a choice. All were interesting, of course, but more variety would have been good... on the other hand, the five I chose to take were all high quality and it's better to do that than to offer several low-quality courses. It was a good education. I don't know about preparing me for a degree, this isn't a vocational college so it doesn't work that way. It was worth it though. It made me realize what I am truly interested in (ie writing and writing literary criticism)

Early Childhood Education Certificate

My experience with Ellis College rates near the best in my life. Working full time did not allow me to attend an actual campus but Ellis College Online made me feel like I did. I participated in a whole social network of fellow students. There are special interest groups, blogs, and live chat meetings. I could speak with the faculty in real time utilizing chat features and virtual classrooms. My new degree has provided me with the skill set and the confidence to achieve my career goals.

Classes are set up specifically for the online environment, providing instruction and interaction to make one feel part of the college life. Through a suite of online products, including virtual classrooms and chats, I was able to interact in real time with fellow students and faculty. I was provided with real-world experiences needed to advance my current career.
