Master's Degree in Psychology with a Counseling specialty

I am previously a student at Argosy University and I have been attending the school since July of last year.  I have been enrolled at Argosy as a part-time student (taking only 2 classes a semester).  Well I have found out that now instead of taking 2 classes they have enrolled me for four classes and I specifically told them that I was not able to take all of those classes.  They told me that I am still considered to be fulltime, I just would not have any breaks in between classes unless I request for one.  Don't get me wrong, I have enjoyed the time that I spent here at Argosy but I refused to be pressured into taking 4 classes per semester with each class being 8 weeks.  I don't know about this school anymore and I am anticipating withdrawing this week.  For anyone that is wanting to attend this school, make sure you do research about the number of classes that you are scheduled to take before they just give you something.

I love Argosy's MACP program. I attended both the Phoenix and OC campuses. The teachers are great, and I was placed at one of the top practicum sites in Los Angeles, for $30,000 (which is comparable to any other private, graduate program or less) a year...it's such a wonderful experience, and I'm so glad I have chosen this school.

Your review was the most positive I read, could you continue to post your experience each class you complete until you graduate because I thought about attending this school, but I scared because of all the reviews to apply for this school now.  I was going to do their MFT program, but I am concerned.

Thanks everyone, I thought about getting my on line degree in psychology. I feel bad for the students who have been mistreated.
contact the Better business buearl and let them know whats happening. 
so that other people like me will know the truth.and not swim in the shark infested waters!
can someone email me and tell me if they know of a good online college in im in new york. luck to all!

This school is totally unethical!! They are just a big f*ing business, trying to grow and grow.  Their quality is sh*t.  They act so business-like and professional. But that is all they do and are.  A business! People in suits, working at their desk -- ready to screw over anyone for a bunch of $money$ and a half-ass education.  

If you need any information, once you have paid them money, they give you the run-around.  But if they think that you owe them money (even when it's a mistake), they will call you immediately and harrass you  with debt collectors.

I am so frustrated.  This school needs to be sued.  It is reminding me of all the executive scams that have been reported in wall street. I don't think that this school has been as succesfull as those wall street brokers, but if they could they would! Totally unethical and it makes me sick.  It give education a horrible name.

How much it will cost me to take the masters degree?

I had a 4.0 GPA going into my last year as a graduate student at Argosy University, at a California campus.  With unsubstantiated causes Argosy staff and administration kept me from proceeding, keeping me from getting my degree,  and leaving me with $30,000 of student loan debt.  

I have been made aware that this has happened to other Argosy students.  If you feel that you have been treated unjustly by Argosy University, please contact me.    jenine7@juno.com

I thought I had done a good search of all reviews of Argosy, but I did not, I am really sorry I have had any contact with this school.  I plan on transfering only having completed four course, two of which were on line and good.  The classes on campus were horrible, the instructors defensive and negative against any other previous medical field of expertise, in fact down right hostle.  I had wanted to pursue my Master's in MHC but will transfer to another university, one where the counselors have time to help students, instructors are professional and respectful of their students.  And no I am not a "cry baby", as I am a US Armed Forces VET, it is just that I know a total waste of educational time when it is presented.  Think long and hard before you consider this school.  Best wishes.
