I did my AS degree elsewhere and completed my BS at Grantham University in 2021. Grantham curriculum is similar to other expensive Colleges and Universities, also the speed of completing each complex topic is about the same. I checked other schools and the only significant difference was the cost, therefore, I chose Grantham. I don't see any reason for owing approximately an extra $40,000.00 with a name brand school on my certificate. I had a few issues with a certain so called useless instructor,... Read More

I was attending the University of Arkansas's eVersity, to complete both my associate's degree and my bachelor's degree. Before I could finish my bachelor's eVersity "purchased" Grantham University, and I was forced to transfer. While enrolled with eVersity it was always very accommodating to a working student's schedule. As a mom of four, working full time and attending school was a stretch, but one that I was willing and able to make with eVersity. The financial advisors were always on top of things... Read More

I do not recommend coming to Grantham University. They convince you that they are a great school and it turns out not to be true. I have done everything asked stay on time with assignments emailed people when I have concerns (communicated) and they literally do not solve them most of the time. Financial team is no help and certain teachers will be no help. It is rare that you will meet great people at Grantham University. Some people are saying if you put in the work you will have a great experience.... Read More

Now the University of Arkansas Grantham, I hope they push for better accreditation. Like most online schools I had some really bad professors who basically just gave you As. I also had some real tough professors who really pushed me to do better work and judged every assignment. If you cant manage your own time, do not attend an online college because that's part of the learning. You need to be able to understand what you are doing each week and manage your time to complete the assignments. I work... Read More

This is a solid school. The customer service from all offices and advisor are excellent. The courses are challenging as they should be, and the professors are always available to provide help. I have obtained various degrees from other schools that are regionally accredited, and I have to admit that the University of Arkansas Grantham has as an awesome program to prepare their students.

I had to write another review. I just can't understand why people think it's possible to put in 10% of the work you'd have to put in if you were in a classroom somewhere. Grantham NEVER applied for more aid than necessary. What they plan to apply for is CLEARLY posted online after you log into your account. You have to electronically sign it BEFORE they will actually commit to the funding plan. If you don't agree with it then they state for you to call them so it can be discussed and be more suited...

There is a negative review of the Financial Aid Dept. at Grantham University. My experience with the FA Dept was, without a doubt, extremely simple and easy. It was PAINLESS. I can say it did have the potential to be stressful, frustrating, and negative. What makes the difference between a positive and negative experience with Grantham FA Dept had everything to do with responding to the emails they sent when there was paperwork or action needed to be addressed. Had I not responded to those requests,... Read More

Two classes I had Network Cert and Cyber Cert classes, I had an extreme amount of assignments that had me working 16hrs to complete them before the date to turn them in.

The reviews on this panel that talk about Cengage are correct. Only they have moved away from ANY books at all and moved to online only access, but still charge you the $250 plus book fee. And don't get me started on the teachers. The classes that are taught by decent teachers are few and far between. Some of them are really not good teachers at all. I know some of these people are PhD's, well goody for them But if they can't teach it, it does no one any good. Don't have an Apple computer and go... Read More
