I had a great experience at Iowa Central Online! I chose Iowa Central because it is LESS expensive than many other schools at $305/credit hour, the school is respected because it is a Community College, not a corporation, and because the courses don't require group projects. I have a busy schedule and felt coordinating with 3 other classmates to complete group projects would be too much of a hassle. The admissions, FA, and Student Services staff were all wonderful! I am now moving on to complete my Bachelors degree. I would highly recommend Iowa Central!

Great School

AA student - December 16, 2010

After hours of research on programs offered online by different schools I enrolled with Iowa Central CC. I attended a great school in Michigan GVSU, and circumstances had prevented me from continuing traditionally on a campus. I was looking for a school with the same quality and respect that GVSU offers which was very hard to find in online schools!

I had to deal with many schools trying to push me in the wrong direction because they were only concerned about admitting me as a student. Iowa was completely different, they were concerned about if the school was going to be the best fit for me. They wanted me to get the most out of my education. They offered true guidance in a very important decision!

I found the very things that were important to me offered at Iowa, Academics, support, and affordability. The tuition has been the lowest out of any and so far my class has been very challenging and rewarding! Most all of my credits I took from my other college transferred into the program which was unheard of at any other college. GVSU is known very well for their student support, small class size at a big university 20,000+ students, and helpful and friendly staff and I found all of that at Iowa and am super pleased with it! I highly recommend attending Iowa Central! I am proud to be a Triton!!

I highly recommend this school to everyone!

Iowa Central College CNT Program

CNT Student - November 18, 2010

I would like to inform you of some great new related to the online CNT program. I recently applied for a technical services position with Dell Computer Corporation and in part I was offered a position based on my participating in this program. While this is an entry level position and I do not think this is the position I will be in long term, it is a beginning.

Thanks very much,

CNT Student

iowa central online review

john morlin - October 3, 2010

I took the associates of applied science in computer networking (online)and graduated. It was told to me it would be harder than in classroom and it was, but well worth it. A lot of the time i thought they layed to much on you as far as assignments when its suppose to be for the working person, but i got through it.

Teachers are great, and i think you do learn more this way as you have to learn to deal with more of the setting computer stuff up because you are online so a lot of stuff you have to set your computer up to do, as opposed to just setting in a classroom. It was a great experience and i wouln't of done it anywhere else, all the other places i checked into were only worried about my money, one person/counselor even said when i asked her how hard the math was "heck you can cheat on it or have someone do it for you" i knew then i was not going to that college.

Anyways Iowa Central Online...no where better, its number one in my book!!

Very Professional, and helpful

Keyon Zomorrodian - January 12, 2010

I was looking for an online college, and I was dealing with some unprofessional people. I talked to people from CTU(Colorado Technical University Online), AIU, Florida Tech Online. All the Advisors I talked to from those schools were not professional. All they wanted was to get me to register to their school. Then I found Iowa Central, wow. That is all I have to say. The Advisor I spoke to was very knowledgeable. He directed me to every piece of information I was seeking. Wait to you hear this... I asked how much the tuition would be. My Advisor actually did the math and told me the approximate cost. I was in shock that he actually flat out told me that information. Any other online college I spoke to never answered me directly. I compared prices with this school and others and I was seeing a savings of about $6,000-$8,000! My Advisor right now is Saji Harper. He is very helpful and is making my experience a good one so far. I recommend you look into this school if you're looking for an online college. It is ranked #4 out of 200 online colleges that were reviewed. As of now I have not read a single bad post anywhere. I suggest you look into this school and see if it is right for you. Hope this helps with making your decision.
