Let me start off by saying I dropped out of the University of Scranton's online master's program after only three classes so my review might sound slightly negative.

Being a coach and someone that is involved in a good deal of extracurricular activities I was looking for a flexible master's program that worked well with my busy schedule.

Searching through the internet I found the University of Scranton and spoke with one of their so called program advisers. He raved to me about how the program was completely flexible and was designed for working professions such as myself. Well let me just say he did a great job of selling the program. What he failed to mention was that the professors or "evaluators" are not.

In the three courses I took an excessive amount of "busy" work was assigned. Compared to two other friends doing similar masters programs in different cohort groups I did more work than the both of them combined and felt like I got a lot less out of it. My last class "Education Research and Statistics" was a complete joke.

The professor lacked any in-depth knowledge on the subject and when I asked her direct questions about the assignment she told me to re-read the directions. They also fail to mention hidden class material costs are not included, for the first class I took they were $68, the second $108, and for this last one $210.

Also if their program advisor meant flexible by if any assignment was turned in late it was an automatic zero, then yes they were quite flexible (an obvious joke). While I don't feel this program is horrible I do think that you would learn a good deal more and have less busy work by investing in a different program with more face to face teaching, so buyer beware.
