Review:

The format of the course delivery was excellent. I have never experienced this type of advantage with online learning. I also enjoyed the accelerated pace of the degree programs offered. The books and materials were sent on time without any issues.
BUT THAT'S ABOUT IT.
After all the time and money spent at Anthem College, they lose their accrediation or are in the process, I did not receive any information about this accept a recording when I logged into my course. They assured me that they were fighting to keep it etc, etc. That doesn't really help when you are trying to obtain a degree and don't know if your credits will transfer based on the school you attended having these issues. Come to find out, many online schools have heard about Anthem's issues and are not willing to accept credits from them.
For the cost of the degrees, they should have this school operating correctly. I don't know what exactly happened, they were very vague with the information and no longer offered the Bachelors degrees so I had to withdraw and look elsewhere. I am upset that I invested so much time with them and spent all that money for what seems like nothing, back at square one trying to find a new school.
The teachers really didn't need to be there, a lot of times you could just do your work, listen to the simulations/lectures, take tests, and respond to discussions and not even really know they were there. I did not have that much interaction with the instructors....hence the problem with the accreditation I guess???
Anyway, I am glad that I am done because that was a horrible thing to have happen in the midst of your education. The only positives are the above mentioned things but that goes right out the window when the bigger issues arose. I would not recommend Anthem based on their instability. Students invest too much to be dealing with this type of thing, on top of that you want a degree that employers will actually recognize, not look up online and see the lack of accreditation and many other problems the insitution has. That doesn't help prove your skills or education!
