Bellevue University

This is an excellent university, if you can study hard, and put discipline in your studies. This is for you! Just make a good research your own if the major you choose is really the one you want to study and it would open doors in the labor market, and... Read More also the necessary experience, or licenses you may need after for bringing your CAREER in full SUCCESS!. ALSO DO NOT BELIEVE, all comments made in this post because the advisors are amazing. There are some people making comments out of no sense and with bad faith, and obviously, these are all misleading comments.

I'm currently taking an all online course load through a degree program/sponsorship between BU and my employer. I actually had completed about 80% of my coursework years ago in a traditional course setting but never finished. I could not pass up the opportunity... Read More to complete my degree at a great price. My experience with the school itself has been generally positive. There are some things I would definitely change if I were writing the content. Let me preface this with saying that I fully understand there is not a ton of options to instruction methods when all your coursework is online. However, I feel the amount of writing in these courses far surpasses anything you will EVER do in real life. I have written more six page papers in less than a year than I did in three years of traditional college plus my last two years of high school...COMBINED. Additionally the duplication in many of the assignments is crazy annoying. For example, class A will be "write a four to six page paper about your experience with a local business". Next in class B, "write a four to six page paper about your experience with (insert specific retailer here". Two courses, two identical assignments, but slightly different wording. It's a tad frustrating. However, with that being said, I feel the experience has been generally great for the method I'm choosing.

The PM courses are actually fun and you will learn alot. The professors are great about balancing real life with the demands of college life. Even the general ed courses were fun. Don't expect much from advisors though if you go online, maybe a phone... Read More call a quarter but then again I wasn't in need of alot of help. They did reach out via email and phone about concerns anytime I had one. The only draw back to the school is the Kirkpatrick Series (9 credits) at the end of your program. The mandatory requirement of the courses doesn't bother me what does is the mandatory Service Learning Project. At 45 years old I am not a boyscout and I'm pretty sure my military career and public safety career shows some civil service/sacrifice for the greater good. Had I have known about this requirement when I enrolled I would have went to another college that also uses the PMI curriculum. Dictating that I must do more volunteer work on top of the 33.7 hours of estimated course time a week and a full time job is ridiculous
