Pacific Oaks College

The Human Development program is a shame. Online was the worse nightmare ever. It was a made up degree with repetitive classes. Zero support with teaching instruction on thesis process. They lack professionalism, communication, and willingness to help they’re master program student achieve and complete the entire program. They delay delay delay play ping pong with the students to throw them in continuation extension courses. Do not recommend this program or experience for anyone. Think twice before... Read More you sign up to this program.

If you are looking for advisors who will help you through school and understand the requirements for your degree do not go here. I attended this school for three years. First the school offered me a payment plan that I did not know about till later- if I took only a certain amount of credits my payment for each month would have been manageable but my advisor assigned me more credits. Also I was in the credential program and not to my knowledge you are supposed to student teach ( I knew that) but... Read More it had to be at a public school. I was already working and had a full time job at a private school. They wanted me to basically quit for two months to student teach with no pay. When I found this out, I stopped going to the school and requested to be withdrawn. And they made me pay for the tuition when I could not finish the schooling and they did not tell me till later that I had to withdraw at a certain time. Keep in mind I did not know I would have to stop going to Pacific Oaks because of student teaching so of course I missed the deadline. Their advisory staff is terrible. Their financial aid and registrars office do not talk to you in a timely manner. I tried to talk to them about this issue and it took 4 months to handle this issue. It is still not handled. I received nothing but headaches from this school and their classes were just sub par.
