Review:

I am had nothing but problems with their financial aid department. They turned down my federal aid because I would not sign a promissary note with Sallie Mae. Yet I got federal aid thru the State of Alaska and they turned that down. It is Sallie Mae or nothing I was told. I will not ever go with Salli Mae. My advisor was useless and would not even answer my questions. I will finish the school year then I am out of there.

Great degree!

Review:

I was able to complete my political science degree in just over a year.  The professors were very professional and helpful; most had had real-world experience as well as concern and care for the students.  I can truthfully say that a few became friends of mine, with whom I remain in contact.  The degree included some interesting sidelines like UN certification in peacekeeping operations, and I was able to take a good slate of classes in the field of economics in addition to the political science/international relations courses required for the degree.  Doing online education of this sort requires a person to be a self-starter, but for those who have the drive, this is a great place.

Review:

The program was a good balance between structure and flexibilty, in that it was focused, but allowed me to study what I wanted within the area. I had easy contact with my profesors, who gave me constructive, useful feedback on my papers, and all but two of them responded to questions very quickly. The books I had to buy were almost all very good; in fact, I kept most of them. I wrote a lot, and believe that I developed as a writer because of it, even to the extent of having two papers published on a military history website. As for technology, I experienced no real problems -- the online classroom environment was intuitive and never unavailable; registration was easy; and the school's support staff was easy to contact and gave prompt, useful answers.
