Completed MA Forensic Psychology Program
May 6, 2012
Overall the score is downgraded due to a lack of real world career options with this degree. I have a Master of Arts degree, but what value does it add to me professionaly? The materials were good and in some cases will be reference texts I keep forever. The professors were all over the page. I had one professor three times and she was a little worse each time. Complaining to the Argosy university staff ...

No empathy expressed at Argosy University
April 15, 2012
This has been the worst experience ever. The Professor's are unprofessional, unhelpful, and rude. I have been enrolled for 2 years in the MA Forensic Psychology program, and I have only had about 3 professors that were actually helpful. My last professor, named Nicole Williams, completely made me feel as though I should have never enrolled. I complained about her numerous times, because of her grading system. I asked her twice what was expected in ...

Do not enroll here

I started attending the Argosy campus in Atlanta in October in 2011 and it has been the worst experience ever. I decided to pursue a 2nd masters at the school since the time of enrollment my financial aid is never correct, I had an additional $1600 fee that was a struggle to get removed. I am a VA student that receives full tuition yet my school account states I still owe $500. I spent the ...

Good experience, elevent education, but job prospects?
January 1, 2012
The MA in forensic psychology program offered by Argosy University online is challeging and requires initiative as well as dilligence to complete. I am one class away from graduation and have found many of the professors to be outstanding scholars in psychology. However, there are a few who seem disinterested and unmotivated. On more than one occurence I have received a reply similar to, I did not design the course, I facilitate the course, I ...

You get what you put into it!

Your degree is what you make of it. I had excellent internship opportunities while at Argosy and the name is becoming more well known in the Atlanta area. Sure, there are and have been lawsuits, but the same exist at every college in the country. As far as what you get for your $35,000 in a Forensic Psychology degree, you get what you put in. It is a terminal degree meaning it DOES NOT lead ...

Good Experience Graduated from Argosy University Oct 2011
October 25, 2011
I graduated from Argosy online MA Forensic Psy program Oct 2011. It was torugh. The work was overwhelming. The comprehensive exam was tough too. It was a case study. However it covered every component of what you sudied. I have friends who took comp exams at traditional colleges it they said it was similar. The education is expensive. You can get similar degrees for less money. However, there were only two schools in Illiois that ...

MA, Forensic Psychology. It is what it is.
October 19, 2011
I completed my MA in Forensic Psychology. That fact means very little in the real world. Most legitimate forensic positions require some sort of license, and a license requires job hours. Before I was half way through my program, I spoke to the former program head and to my advisor, they both assured me that I could and would get a job with the degree. Since that conversation, many of my professors, program heads and ...

Soon to be PhD

Oct. 31, 2011, 11:36 a.m.

I have been defending AU since I enrolled in the MA in Forensic Psych. But, I have to say that after the comp exam experience, I am FINISHED with this school.

First, the exam is tough, it is a case study and there is nothing easy about it. However, I had a 3.97 GPA throughout the program and I was confident in taking the exam.

I was surprised when I failed the exam. They give you a brief outline of what you did not do such as,

"The student addresses cultural concerns but does not discuss assessment of substance abuse specifically."

OK, so I go over the exam feedback and talk to a mentor and get ready to retake the exam. The problem, is that you never get to "talk" to anyone. It is all via email. Also, you have no one to go over the problems with your exam. You are told to fix the issues, but never how to fix the issues or really what the issues are. Someone will give you a little mini exam to look over and take to "help" with what is included in the exam parts.

I get a 100% on the mini exam and I retake the exam. Funny thing happened. The parts I got correct before (relating to cases and laws) I got wrong this time!!??? How can a case be correct one time, but not the second time?

Also, on the parts I got partly correct before, I added what they said was missing, and now there is something else missing that they did not tell me about before!!?? This is why there is an issue. No one will go over the exams to point out issues. No one will help you fix the problems on what you did wrong.

I am now about to finish my MSCJ at a tier one university and will start my PhD in the summer.

My advise, stay away from ARGOSY!
