I have heard bad stories about this school, but my experience was outstanding. My only complaint is that each class with different teachers has different requirements and I wish they would stay consistent grading papers. Other than that, the teachers were helpful, and the material was useful. This may not be the best University in the world, but it is by far not the worse either. It has helped me finish my education when other institutes failed. It made my life a little easier as a husband, parent... Read More

Some professors seem to care about your learning. Other professors like Dr. Dana seem to have a chip on their shoulders. This is an online program that someone would expect to be for adult learners. We have other demands, and when a professor is entirely absent, doesn't reply to communication, and does not even do the bare minimum to give feedback on the assignments, it makes this a paper mill pumping out degrees for turning papers in on time without regard to learning anything.

Absolutely pathetic and horrible school. The phd level chairs really don’t care about your progress. They just say make changes but are not specific on what types of changes can get the process moving along. The program chair obviously sides with the chairs and doesn’t bother listening to the students. Do yourself a favor and choose another institution to do you doctorate degree. They just don’t listen no matter how many times concerts are raised.

Stay away from this school. The doctoral program is bad. You have 3 different people telling you 3 different things. They ask questions about your writing as if they don’t have any background knowledge to comprehend. Most people understand what face to face interaction means.

Great learning experience and outstanding professors. Regionally accreditation. In my experience from 2014 to now, TUI understands that working adults have conflicting priorities and they must make accommodation's for those situations. I am active duty military, so finding time to complete my course work can be challenging. Even when I turn in assignments late, the point reduction is negligible as long as you are transparent with communicating these challenges with your professors up front. If you... Read More

Trident was purchased by American InterContinental University and thus they have become: Predatory, misleading and incompetent. Seriously consider your options, especially if you are affiliated with the military. Attend this school at your own peril.

The Dean of the School of Business, Dean of the Doctoral Student, my Chair and Dissertation Committee are top in their field, dedicated to assist me and other Doctoral Student and have a genuine interest in Students success. I would recommend TUI to any and all students looking to pursue and complete a quality education.

DO NOT ATTEND THIS UNIVERSITY. I read other horror stories about this university and still chose to attend because of the increased JST credits they gave me, which was a terrible mistake. The degree is not worth the paper it is printed on, they are impossible to work with, and their "military friendly" tagline is an absolute lie. There are MANY other excellent options. PLEASE do not attend.

Trident like most other schools is simply guided self learning. The courses require alot of writing and you develop a great understanding of the material. Grading seemed to vary alot between professors, some were easy and some were very difficult. All professors were responsive and offered detailed feedback. Advisers and financial aid office were very open and helpful. Advisers will call you during courses just to check in and see how you are doing. I've been to several school including a top ranked...

Don’t expect this to be easy, but the journey is worth it. You must be a good time manager and must be able to conduct your own research. TUI has a great curriculum and program. I am a “Triple Trident” and TUI gave me the ability to balance my work life and family life to attain a Ph.D. I will always be grateful to TUI.

The ability to take courses on-line and not have to travel was amazing. I feel like I learned a great deal from knowledgable faculty. I never had any problems, and my advisor was always willing to help and answer questions. If you are looking for a great education with a flexible schedule, I highly recommend TUI.

I am enrolled in my 3rd course as a Ph.D. Business Administration with a concentration in Marketing student. The courses are "better than expected", in other words, excellent. Each course consist of SIX uniform modules per the below example: Module 3: Organizational Change - each module has the following: 1. Home (summary of each module) 2. Background (readings for each module - accessible from the online library) 3. Case (written paper around 8 pages – APA formatted) 4. SLP (written paper around... Read More

I had a wonderful experience at Trident. The professors were always available to assist and guide you through the graded discussions and course work. Although challenging at times, I maintained a pretty decent average throughout. It takes a lot of discipline and motivation to obtain a degree. Trident is a military friendly school and sets the ground work for you to be successful. Thanks Trident!

Great institution that is quick to respond to any issues with the sometimes unique situations that military personnel may experience. Everyone in the administration, student advising and Professors have been outstanding in their devotion to their duty.

Great school, great learning experience. TUI understands that working adults have conflicting priorities and they make accommodation's for those situations. I work 10-14 hours per day so finding time course work can be challenging. Even when I turn in assignments weeks late the point reduction is negligible. I couldn't have earned my MBA any other way.

The Professors created an atmosphere that made me not only learn the material, but guided me correctly presenting what I learned and discovered through research. They also showed appreciation and gave value to personal experiences that I shared with the class.

Working full time, having a work / family life balance and throw in a graduate degree. That’s a tall order for anyone. Imagine being deployed on a front line or as a disaster responder added to this. Trident answers the call when it comes to these challenges. With staff and professors supporting you and students like yourself, failure is not an option. Some reviews may show negative remarks. While most are likely undergrad, it reflects the individuals initiative to succeed. No one I have ever spoken... Read More
