Studying I Am Currently Working On A Master's In Education.
• 11/27/2011
"I am currently very satisfied. Being able to work and get my Master's is why I chose this program, and so far I am able to do both!"
Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | yes | I would recommend this program to others in my situation. The price is worth the convenience. |
| School Reputation | 6 | My principal is happy with my choice. This makes me think it has a good reputation. |
| Satisfaction With Major | 6 | I feel that a wide range of topics is covered, providing a well rounded look at the education field. Many of the topics covered were barely touched in my undergrad experience, so I feel this is extremely useful information as opposed to a refresher. |
| Instruction | There is not a lot for me to compare it to as it is my only post graduate experience. I feel the experience is better than my undergrad experience, but I just don't feel qualified to rate it. | |
| Cost | 3 | I did shop around before deciding to attend Keiser. While it is on the cheaper end of online degree programs, online programs are a lot more expensive than traditional options. Traditional options, even though cheaper, just would not work for my situation. |
| Schedule Flexibility | 9 | I teach full time, and have all of the work hours plus the grading and planning that comes with this. The online program is ideal for me because I can complete classes around my busy schedule without having to sacrifice either commitment. |
| Academic Facilities | I can't really rate these things as an online student. There is decent online support though, so I would think the in person support would be even better. | |
| Social Life | Once again, being an online student, I can't judge these things. I have not heard other students talking about them on forums, so I don't have any way to assess. | |
| Placement Services | Once again, I know this support exists. I have heard positive experiences from others, but have not used these services. | |
| Alumni Network | I am still relatively new to the program. I know this support exists, but I have not found much use to fully explore/utilize it yet. |

Studying AA In Health Services Administration (completion in: 2010)

"I didn't learn anything that will help me find a job. The classes were uninspiring. My course included a computer that never worked."
Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | no | Unable to find a job in my field so that now I have a massive student loan to pay back that I can't afford working my $9/hr retail job. Too expensive for such low level learning. |
| School Reputation | 2 | I can't find a single employer who will hire anyone from Keiser. Yes, they will interview you, but they think the students are not taught enough for the jobs. |
| Satisfaction With Major | 3 | I have a family member who is now taking almost the exact same program at another school. He is taking better classes, is learning things I never heard of, and the teachers seem to know what they are doing. |
| Instruction | 3 | Half the classes taught you nothing at all. The teachers weren't very helpful. |
| Cost | 1 | Considering that I now know of many grants and scholarships I should have been told about which would have helped with my expenses, I'm very upset. Also the cost of some of the books was outrageous. |
| Schedule Flexibility | 6 | Not bad since it's an online program we're talking about. As long as you log in on time, all was well. |
| Academic Facilities | 1 | There is no such thing as help if you really needed it. Easier to just find information online or at the public library. |
| Social Life | 1 | This is about the online classes, right? There are no social interactions beyond class. |
| Placement Services | 2 | Yeah it's there, but they don't really help. Not all their fault that you aren't taught enough to get a job. |
| Alumni Network | 1 | Don't recall there being any. Unless you are one of the "in crowd," there wasn't much help at all. |

Studying Associate's In Science Nursing, RN (completion in: 2012)
• 11/27/2011
"I pay too much money, and the building leaves some to be desired, but the important thing is that I get a quality education and a job after I graduate. I feel very confident that I am learning what I need to and that I will have a job when I get out."

|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | maybe | This school is very challenging. You have to do what they want and they have very strict rules as far as attendance and professionalism is concerned. I would not recommend this school to someone who is immature or not willing to work hard. I would recommend Keiser to students who are focused and have goals that they are willing to work hard to achieve. |
| School Reputation | 9 | Local hospitals and nursing homes hire Keiser graduates. Many students have jobs before they graduate. The local hospitals love us. |
| Satisfaction With Major | 9 | The teachers take a real interest in helping the students. We begin our clinical experience the first semester. We are given a great deal of hands-on training. We use the ATI testing system to prepare for the NCLEX exam. This program is very hard. Keiser has higher standards than other schools, but if you get through it, then you will be a great nurse. |
| Instruction | 10 | Each week we attend clinical, which gives us real-world, hands-on experience. We also spend time in the lab every week, practicing our skills. We have text books, and online tutorials which help us prepare for our tests. We are tested on knowledge, application, skills, and on our clinical participation. I feel that I am being well-prepared for my career as an RN. |
| Cost | 2 | It is extremely expensive. I pay over $8000 per semester. The local community college charges $2500 (average). I am only willing to pay this price because it is an excellent school and I didn't have to wait to start classes. I was accepted to another nursing program, but there was a 2 year wait. With Keiser, I will be making money before that program would have started. |
| Schedule Flexibility | 8 | During gen-ed classes, you can choose between two day schedules and 1 night schedules. However, once you start your chore coursework for your field of study, there is no flexibility at all. |
| Academic Facilities | 4 | My campus is very small. The library is not as up-to-date as it could be. The building looks nice, but the AC doesn't work right and we freeze during class. As far as supplies for the nursing program, we have good, high quality supplies provided to us. We have a 6-bed hospital lab with 5 electronic "dummies" to practice our skills on. Over-all, I am happy. |
| Social Life | 2 | There are no athletic programs. We do have a student government, but very few participate. There are no social events. This is not a traditional college - it is a career school. |
| Placement Services | 7 | While in school, the job services are very poor. I don't know anyone who got a job while in school. However, after graduation, all nursing students get jobs. My campus places 100% of its nurses. Other fields of study may not have that success. |
| Alumni Network | 2 | I have attended Keiser for 18 months. I don't know anything about their alumni network. We have a strong teacher network, but as far as alumni, there isn't much going on. |

Studying Criminal Justice And Homeland Security (completion in: 2012)

| Would Recommend? | yes | As I stated before, the level of professionalism in and out of the classroom is amazing. The kindness and willingness to assist their students is incredible. I would recommend Keiser University to anyone pursuing a Homeland Security degree. |
| School Reputation | To be honest, I do not know. I was not at the campus long enough to experience or notice the school's reputation among local employers. | |
| Satisfaction With Major | 9 | A degree plan including both criminal justice and homeland security is not available at most colleges and universities. Keiser University offered a B.S. in Interdisciplinary Studies with a double major in criminal justice and homeland security. |
| Instruction | 9 | Keiser University employs top notch professors, with in depth experiences in the career field students will enter into upon graduation. These professors are extremely knowledgeable in their career fields. |
| Cost | 7 | Every student will state the cost of education is too expensive. In the reality of it, Keiser University is on the high side of tuition, but it is a private university. But all in all I would rate the cost of my education as priceless. |
| Schedule Flexibility | 9 | Keiser University allowed me to transfer all of my classes to online when my husband and I relocated out of state. This allowed my to finish my degree in a timely manner without loosing time or money by having to re-enroll in another institution. |
| Academic Facilities | 8 | Keiser has an extensive library and e-library collection. I have used both extensively while enrolled in Keiser University. |
| Social Life | 9 | While attending 'brick and mortar' classes at Keiser University, Daytona Beach, the staff every month had activities, fundraisers, and social events to promote school spirit. Once a month the staff would allow for a dress down day during which students would donate money to dress down in casual clothes as opposed to the professional attire dress code. |
| Placement Services | 9 | Keiser University offers students and alumni great career services and job placement help. They assist newly graduated professionals with the transition from college studies to professional careers. |
| Alumni Network | I have not had the chance to experience the alumni network at Keiser University. |

| Would Recommend? | yes | I'm happy with the school. I would definitely recommend it to others. |
| School Reputation | 10 | I haven't heard any employers mention anything bad about the school. Only former students seem to have a bad opinion about it. |
| Satisfaction With Major | 7 | The classes are easy and the work load is manageable. However, I felt like most of my classes were not really related to my degree. |
| Instruction | 6 | The teachers can only do so much over the internet. If you are having trouble understanding something, your resources for further instruction are limited. |
| Cost | 8 | I didn't have a problem with the price. Most other schools cost about the same. |
| Schedule Flexibility | 10 | You can basically do the work whenever you feel like it. The only constraint is that it is due by Sunday at midnight. |
| Academic Facilities | 5 | There is an online library available for use. There really isn't anything else besides that, though. |
| Social Life | 1 | There is no social experience. You don't really interact with your classmates. |
| Placement Services | 6 | I haven't really used the service. I did look at it and there are a lot of job opportunities. |
| Alumni Network | 4 | I didn't even know we had an alumni network. It really isn't mentioned that much. |

| Would Recommend? | yes | The experiences you have here are invaluable. I would recommend getting a part-time job to pay for expenses. |
| School Reputation | 10 | My school is well known among employers and they accept a degree from this school. This school is widely known. |
| Satisfaction With Major | 8 | I'm considering changing my major. I'm still undecided, but I liked the general elective courses. |
| Instruction | 8 | The relevance was good; I feel like I learned a lot. The teachers were very helpful and informative. |
| Cost | 7 | The cost per class was fair I'd say, but the cost for books was a little high. Instead, I used Craigslist to find used books. |
| Schedule Flexibility | 10 | I could chose morning, afternoon, or night classes. This creates a very flexible schedule. |
| Academic Facilities | 10 | The libraries on campus were very full and one of the best I've seen. Also, the gymnasium was very good. |
| Social Life | 9 | The social experience in my classroom was great. I liked participating in the classroom discussion boards. They opened doors and enhanced teamwork. |
| Placement Services | 6 | They did not guarantee any jobs. I would rather have searched for my own jobs anyway. |

Studying Medical Assistant (completion in: I didn't complete my degree)
• 3/13/2012
"Like I've been saying: so far, so good! I just really feel SO great about myself, knowing I'm getting an education in something that really interests me and that I know I'll be good at."
Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | yes | I'd say a definite yes to this! I've already done so! I have several friends who are living like me, saddled with kids and idiot boyfriends who want to break out of their low-income ruts. |
| School Reputation | 8 | I haven't the faintest idea. I'll give it an 8 because my friend tells me that everywhere she applied had heard about Keiser and no one said anything bad about it. |
| Satisfaction With Major | 10 | I just started here and so far, so good. I waited until my kids were in school so I could go back to school. A friend of mine went to Keiser for her Medical Assistant degree and recommended it to me. I attend online like she did. |
| Instruction | 10 | While I'm more than a bit overwhelmed by all the work I have to do here, I enjoy it because it's SO different than being stuck at home all day with the kids and just being a housewife. I know I'm smart enough to handle the work. |
| Cost | 8 | My budget is really tight and my boyfriend is kind of mad I'm doing this because it takes away time I could be spending with him (and he is SO needy!), but I saved up for this for a couple years by doing odd jobs and selling my crafts on Etsy, so I have the money for now. I don't know what will happen next year, though. I'm kind of worried about that, especially since now I don't have the time I used to spend on making my Etsy crafts to sell. |
| Schedule Flexibility | 10 | Online, so... great! I can still be Mommy when the kids need me, still get my housework done, and then settle down to study. I love it! |
| Academic Facilities | 10 | So far, everything I've needed I've been able to access. My friend tells me that once in a while there are glitches, but she didn't really experience that many. |
| Social Life | I'm not down at the student union building lunching with my peers. | |
| Placement Services | 5 | This is also tough to rate because I'm new here. I'm hoping it's really good, though, because the job market really is tough right now, but I'm also hoping it'll improve by the time I graduate. |
| Alumni Network | I really haven't had the need to experience it yet. Except, of course, for my friend who went here. We talk a lot about it. |

| Would Recommend? | yes | I would recommend it to someone who can afford it. I would also recommend it to someone who needs a flexible schedule. |
| School Reputation | 5 | Have not heard much about their reputation. Hopefully it's above average. |
| Satisfaction With Major | 9 | I love the way the scheduling is set up for the course work. The college is very friendly, organized, knowledgeable, and understanding on how hard it is for someone to work full time and go to school. |
| Instruction | 10 | All the professors are trained and have worked in their fields. I believe this gives them the professional expertise to teach the profession. |
| Cost | 5 | The prices are very steep for the same education that you can receive at a state or community college. The state's grants don't even cover half of the tuition. |
| Schedule Flexibility | 10 | The class schedule is very flexible. I am able to work full time and go to school. |
| Academic Facilities | 6 | I do wish the school had more resources in their library. But other than that, any information that is ever needed can be found on the world wide web. |
| Social Life | 6 | I don't believe the school has any sports teams or fraternities. I would like to see more of a social network at the school. |
| Placement Services | I have not made it to this point in my schooling with Keiser yet. I do not want to overrate or underrate them for services I have not received. | |
| Alumni Network | 9 | The support I receive from the school is phenomenal. Also, the network at the school is a tight knit group. |

| School Reputation | 8 | I heard a lot of very good things about the school. That is why I went. |
| Satisfaction With Major | 8 | The coursework was better than I expected. Also, I thought the professors knew what they were talking about. |
| Instruction | 8 | The professors seemed very knowledgeable. One even would let students stay after class if they didn't fully grasp the material when he wasn't getting paid. |
| Cost | 8 | Secondary ed is always expensive. I didn't find the tuition here to be exceptionally costly, though. |
| Schedule Flexibility | 9 | Most classes had a lot of different times and days you could take them, and there were online and in person options. |
| Academic Facilities | 7 | More tutors would've been helpful. But the professors did a good enough job of teaching the material in my opinion. |
| Social Life | 6 | There was little focus on community. Same for sports. But I prefer to focus on academics anyway. |
| Placement Services | 8 | I didn't find it very difficult to find a job after graduating. I think that is due in part to the assistance they gave. |
| Alumni Network | 5 | Lines were always too long at the financial aid office. They should hire more people to work that department. |

| Would Recommend? | maybe | Like I said previously... career placement is important to a student. They need time to consider their options and be sure of their direction. Here it felt rushed. |
| School Reputation | 7 | School is well known around the town that I live in. I know several people who attend the campus classes and they are actually the reason I started attending, using online as a means of flexibility. |
| Satisfaction With Major | 8 | The classes are a good length and the instructors are helpful. Need improvements with making website more user friendly though. |
| Instruction | 9 | Instructors are thorough in their teachings. Could improve better in their time allotments. |
| Cost | 5 | I thought that the tuition rates were high, looking at the big picture. It's only after it had broken down for me that I even thought it would be affordable. |
| Schedule Flexibility | 10 | Did not have any issues with getting assignments in on time. Did not have any issues with needing more time either. |
| Academic Facilities | 5 | I think there definitely could be more resources available. I used other search engines a lot due to a lack of information available. |
| Social Life | 3 | Being in online classes, you don't get into the excitement of school activities. I feel there should be more announcements and ways to let students know not only about the events, but to get them interested enough to go to them. |
| Placement Services | 3 | I felt the career services assistant was only there to raise the number of students attending online classes. |
| Alumni Network | 5 | It was difficult for me to stay interested at times. Something more attention grabbing would be nice. |
