University Of Phoenix • Online, MT
Studying Information Technology (completion in 2009)
• 9/19/2011
"I am satisfied with the course content and course schedule. I would have liked to interact more face-to-face."
Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | yes | UOP has a unique learning program. Learning while doing is a good way for me and others to learn. |
| Program Reputation | 5 | I'm not sure how UOP rates on a national level. |
| Program Quality | 8 | The program content included project management and business analysis courses. I use the knowledge from both of these classes on a regular basis. |
| Instruction | 7 | I worked while attending courses. The course of instruction was relevant because I was able to apply what I learned from class right away. |
| How Difficult | 9 | Each class required a student to read real-world information related to the class, read the textbook, answer discussion questions, write an essay (weekly), and complete a large group project. Each class was only 5 weeks long. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | The majority of the students were already working in the field of their course of study. Students shared real life situations and solutions during class. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 10 | UOP Online is one of the only schools with a schedule that fit into my own. I was able to login and participate in class anytime day or night. I am a single mother with a full-time job. Scheduling options were very important to me. |
| Academic Facilities | 9 | The UOP Online library is extensive. I was able to download textbooks so I could read them anywhere. Most instructors returned any feedback or answers to questions within 24 hours. |
| Social Life | 5 | I studied online. We didn't have organized social events. |
| Placement Services | 5 | I'm not sure how efficient the career services center is. I was already working when I attended classes. |
| Alumni Network | 9 | I am continually receiving alumni newsletters and other information. There are special options for an alumnus to return to school (pricing options, etc.). |
Montana State University • Bozeman, MT
Studying Industrial Engineering (completion in 2006)
• 10/10/2011
"I'm very satisfied. I'm very confident and I do not regret my decision to go to this school. I'm on my way to complete my CFA charter - just the final exam to go."
Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | yes | I don't see a reason why I should not recommend the school. I would definitely recommend the school for someone who doesn't need any help from a college to get a job. Moreover, it's a beautiful place when compared to NJ. |
| Program Quality | 9 | It helped a lot. The school taught me that I can learn any subject on my own. Their teaching approach helped me in venturing into different fields with ease. |
| Instruction | 9 | The quality of instruction was very good. I'm satisfied with the professors' deliveries and their motivation towards learning, but they were not too much into career preparation. |
| How Difficult | 9 | Compared to a few of the schools where my friends studied, I had to do a lot of work to stay well above a 3.5 GPA. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | I would say the course is very hands on. Moreover, I was working as a TA for a few computer science courses, including simulation using C++. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 2 | When I studied I don't think we had any online classes that could be credited towards a Master's degree. There were also no options for evening or summer classes. |
| Academic Facilities | 8 | There is no availability of tutors. The computing lab for Industrial engineering was available around the clock, which helped us a lot in running simulations. I had access to multiple simulation packages. |
| Placement Services | 2 | Not many companies visited my school looking to hire. Moreover, the salary package is not what I expected. The average salary package is around 50K. |
| Alumni Network | 2 | I have no contact with any of the alumni from my school. I have not got any contact from the school either. |
