Southern new hampshire university online program reviews

I waited more than 30 years to complete my degree, and I could not have made a better choice than SNHU. They allowed me the time and gave me feedback to help make my experience a successful on. I was able to graduate with honors. Chelsea S. Certain professors give a 0 when you follow the assignment instructions exactly and correctly.

If I could do it again I would not go here and would not recommend this school to anyone. Appealing to deans proved useless. No different than Kaplan or now Purdue global university. Complete joke, at least the online classes are. I went for software engineer, I took four classes total with this program using my GI bill. I Had already achieved my Associates, a Electrical Engineering Technology degree, from another school and was hoping to earn my bachelors next. I had one positive class to speak of from the four I took.

The two least negative classes I will say they were not necessarily horrible, but it was pretty obvious the "instructor" was literally copy pasting everything and not even reading assignment's. I tested out my hypothesis and turned in a blank assignment with just my name on it fully accepting the risk of a F on this one assignment just to prove to myself that yes they are not even looking at what we turn in and making sure we are doing it correctly.

While I was happy with a easy A I know for sure that at that rate, I would not learn anything, nor would I be ready for a career in software engineering even If I got the degree here. The worst class, and final class that made me decide to leave was a class regarding Social issues. A elective, A checkmark class.

Not relevant to my degree at all. Just something schools use as a cash grab with the excuse of developing a "well rounded" student. European schools you do not see this. More reason to take your education overseas young people. I was in the military and got pretty thick skin but the "instructor" was very obviously clearly anti-Male and very anti-Veteran. It was so bad in fact I felt the need to report her multiple times and take my losses and drop out from the program entirely.

I am a good student, and she consistently gave me F's for subjective reasons such as when I chose a men's issue as my topic of choice with the gist of men having a higher workplace death rate then women is a issue in society" I was met with what I can only describe as harassment from the instructor. Bear in mind I could of easily just told her what she wanted to hear and got a C or something and passed the class, I am a good student.

But It got progressively so bad over the course of the next few weeks that by week 6 I CHOSE to file a formal complaint, leave the school and drop the class Meaning I willingly chose to pay the VA back the dollars from what they paid for me using the GI bill. It was that bad. So not only are the "ok" classes junk.

Soner korkmaz. I have attended both community colleges and an online program from another institution. This is one of the only distance programs that has respect in the employment world. They don't smother you from interest to being actively enrolled - which for me is a perk - it feels more like a local campus. The quality of the course material is my only complaint about the online-based program - you need to be a fast learner to absorb from your coursework. Antionette G. Im 6 credits away from graduating.

And was dismissed from the program, due to the incompetence of my field site. The program does not advocate on your behalf. Do not believe that SNHU wants you to succeed.! Dina Dieffenbach. That said - Do NOT bother to waste your time and money!!! The only good thing about this school is the academic advisors, that's it! Other than that, nothing is worth it. I've paid for outdated materials, broken links, and outdated books, all of which you don't know of until you're actually in your course, by then it's too late.

The dean said they're working on improving this after addressing my grievance, meanwhile, they take your money during their self-improvement process leaving you with a subpar education from professors who have no room to actually teach because the course is already pre-determined for them by student volunteers who have little to nothing to do with the actual course or major itself.

Fabulous business model SNHU! John Smith. They are quick to lean in and help when I need it. The instructors are pretty good. Not sure yet if this degree will help me get the job I want but I'm definitely hoping so. The online format works well because I'm pretty busy. They accepted all my credits from my associates of applied science in occupational therapy assistant studies so I needed 15 classes.

My advisor Megan S. Was great along the way. Also financial aid was a cakewalk. They basically did everything for me. Took me a little over a year because I was also taking classes elsewhere at times to complete my prerequisites for Physician Assistant PA school. Some classes were harder and required much more effort and some were quite easy.

But what I love about the classes as a whole they aren't really test based the're application based with lots of writing assignments and projects. I have always been a good student and a strong writer so I found myself never really struggling to get my As ultimately. However, some professors were much harder graders than others so to ensure my As I kept in close communication with them to make sure I hit the mark and made all their requirements.

I needed a bachelor's degree to apply for PA school and wanted something fast and affordable that'd take all my previous credits while allowing me to still work and SNHU was it for me! The classes were usually well organized and almost every professor if not all were quick to communicate with their students and provide additional feedback if necessary.

I recommend this program to many other pre PA students or others who just want to get their bachelor's. I overall had a really good experience. Yes, some professors were tougher than others and caused me a bit of stress since I really needed straight As to get into PA school but I got them with extra effort and I'm proud to say I even got into Yale School of Medicine for my graduate program, after receiving my bachelor's here!

I really enjoyed how each class let you pick the topic you were most passionate about to research and write your papers on too. I am a mother of 3 and worked full time, however my son ended up having issues and needing surgery and so many things started happening in my life which is completely my fault but I still felt that I could do this and I tried but I am not the greatest with technology, I am not terrible by any means but I found their system was very confusing but the online books became my biggest issue, I couldn't download them no matter what I tried and I explained this and on top of that I could not afford to purchase microsoft word which every assignment was required to be done on and I was not told this until we were already starting the class and it was just so difficult.

The adviser was not helpful to me, she was nice but I didn't find her to be helpful and I am upset because they just wrote me off and they took my financial aide and didn't even try and I couldn't afford to pay out of pocket but regardless my experience was nothing like I thought.

Where they need improvement is in regards to some of their instructors. The programs are designed so that one week is not dependent on the next; however if you make mistakes on week one, you will also make mistakes on week two. The majority of the instructors I had during my degree program would provide grades on Wed-Thurs before the following weeks assignment were due on Sunday.

The classes in which I struggled, the instructors would grade assignments on Sunday evenings or late Sunday night. It is a real shame that my education was not as much of a priority to those instructors. I would not recommend SNHU to anyone until this is addressed so that students have opportunities to learn from previous mistakes and better themselves without the additional stress.

Now reading, I do realize that they have a pretty telemarketing feel to them. I was taking the HIS class and I was purely confused. They do not offer due dates like other schools do which has left me very confused. My "advisor" was more adamant about me staying there and trying to complete my financial aid than allowing me to leave. They do not allow you to withdraw from courses yourself despite them saying that the first week is the drop week.

You legitimately have to contact financial services or your advisor just to withdraw from the class. I feel bad for whoever has had a horrible experience here, but I receive call backs same day from my advisor and my instructors have even provided me with their cell phone numbers for quicker response times.

Yes, there is alot of reading and assignments but what else would you expect from an online school? Again this is only my 2nd term but I love it. The courses are challenging and of course some professors are hard to grasp, but it is beneficial to reach out to classmates, advisors and other resources to complete work.

Some people are not cut out for online learning and need the in-classroom scene, i discovered I could complete work after everyone was in bed and being able to do the work on my own time since I work full time.

Anyone in their later years should talk to an advisor if they are thinking of coming back to school, I'm glad I waited until I was 30 to decide my degree path instead of jumping into a different degree I would have no use for.

Financial aide was a little bit of a headache so I recommend you understand all paperwork that needs completed so your funding isn't changed mid way. Financial services are helpful. The learning communities are also helpful , I did accounting and the accounting community gave great help with tutoring.

Rosa Agosto. I would definitely recommend the program, one day after I finished I had already found a position within my filed of study. Accountant 1. I currently work as an accountant for one of the top five companies in San Diego and completed my first bachelor's degree from a top tier university in the midwest. While I did not go to school for accounting, through a lot of hard work and a little bit of luck I was promoted into the financial field.

Since I didn't go to school for accounting and am preparing to sit for the C. A exam it goes without saying that I do not meet the requirements despite having in-field experience. With a full time job, a son, and a family, returning to a traditional brick and mortar school for night class wasn't one that particularly fit my schedule-so I decided to enroll in SNHU online yes, SNHU's accounting credits are accepted by the California Board of Accountancy.

While the classes aren't as difficult as those of my first bachelor's, there is still a great degree of learning potential if you WANT to learn. As with any employer, having a degree with an A average doesn't necessarily ensure job security. In regards to many of the complaints I have seen regarding the University, I have to disagree with a few. Highlighted below: Administrative: Have had little to no issue with scheduling classes and communicating with advisors.

I spent some time before orientation figuring out how to navigate blackboard and found little to no issues. Of course, it does take some time and effort to figure out although not much , but if you didn't wait until the night before class to start you shouldn't have a problem.

As far as teacher response time? No teacher I have ever had responds right away. But, if you plan ahead of time, you usually get a response. I can't speak for anyone else, but there isn't a lot of hand-holding involved. The class procedures and technologies are relatively straightforward I would give the diplomas back to them in a minute to not have the student loan debt.

I honestly can't same anything good about the school or diplomas. I was lured to this school by the Berklee College of Music.

Very low quality coursework. My instructor seems fake. His picture looks like it was found on Google. Also he asked me a question in discussion that I found word for word off the internet? The question itself was word for word off the internet. I'm worried I've made a mistake attending here. I had an advisor that was always there, start to finish. I took 2 classes per term, spent roughly hours per week total. Got mostly A's, a couple of B's. By my calculations, I spent well over hours to get this MBA.

Some say its a diploma mill. Didn't feel like it to me. Bet you they put the "diploma mill" MBA on their resume now though Applied and got in but dealt with a very annoying advisor who took days to get back to me everytime I had a question. After wasting 3 weeks w the Finaid dept. Can you believe that? I'm pretty sure most ppl applying to that c school has student loans.

I think they cater more to ppl who can pay cash but they need to say that up front. I dealt w them for more than a month for them to make a personal decision not to get the loan for me in the end.

This school is ghetto and unprofessional, refusing to help students because they are too busy minding their personal business. And their explanation? Because SNHU wants to ensure student success they don't give additional loans. Success is whether I can get a job after I graduate to pay the loans,not having the loans in the first place. Sounds like an excuse they can use when their graduates DON'T get jobs.

I don't care how popular this school is, it is ghetto and like to waste ppl's time. If they would just say up front "we'd rather you be able to pay out of pocket" it would've saved me time and an application fee. Then a survey requiring feedback comes in where I addressed concerns but still no one called back.
