SUCCESS STORY

I have had a better college experience with NAU than any private, community college, etc. My experience has been very fulfilling and very gratifying. I am starting my online business and this school has led the way and set the path for me in so many ways. The professors/instructors are so thorough and the assignments have helped me more than any expensive private colleges.

My overall experience has been dealing with all different cultures and this in itself has been more precious. I am maintaining an overall grade point average over well over 3.8 and aiming for above 4.0. I am 58 years old, a published author with a book that is about to become a movie, have 6-10 children's books that are being printed as we speak and I owe this to my NAU experience.

Anyway, the work is a long ways from easy, but has made me much more responsible and conscience of keeping good grades. I recommend this school to anyone that is serious about an education that will help with any area especially starting or becoming an entreprenaur and starting your own business. THIS IS WHAT IS UP AND SHOULD TRY NAU TODAY!!!!

Best Decision I have made....

NAU is the 4th school I have attended online, I told myself this was the last chance I would give an online school, and glad I did. My advisor got to know me personally, I wasnt just a student, I was a fried. She always answered my calls unlike my other schools:

Classes were awesome I was able to meet my other classemates and their were only thirty of us in each class, not 1000... The teacher spoke and helped me as if I was her only. The support as far as the student aspect was the best I have ever encountered.

Financial aid, I took a bit longer than I expected to get my refund check back, but when I did I was extremely happy. It wasnt a credit card like some college use which has a $5 charge every time you use it. Waiting for my refund check was totally worth it. All cost are included the do not have any added fees or charges. Tuition and Books include everything!!

If you are going to take classes online NAU is the best!!

Go to a different school

I'm a student right now at NAU. I do the online school. When you first start they make you take 2 crappy class Strategies for Success (they teach you to think positive) and Intro CIS (the very basics for computers). Both class are garbage and you pay around 3000 dollars for them but I really liked the online experience. You get all your school work up front which really cool they go through the each section at a time.

Now here comes the bad part I get started to some real classes. I took the accounting class that uses a book that the college made. I had a really hard time understanding it. So I asked the instructor very little to no help. I tried to see about a tutor through the school there is none for Tulsa area. I have gone through 2 terms and I owe 10000 dollar you think that is to much go to another school.

Also the credits are not transferable you don't believe me go to "useful information" area on their website. All I want it a good education without being ripped off is that to much to ask?

As a faculty member at several universities and colleges, I find NAU's nursing program to be an excellent school. The Overland Park campus has a new pre-licensure BSN program, and the staff are doing an excellent job at starting it up.
