Course pograms are consistent and teaching staff is well qualified. Tuition and fees are affordable too.
I honestly recommend this college to everybody for traditional or online study.

Review:

I am currently in session with my last semester with Bellevue University’s Masters of Business Administration.  The program was challenging and would be surprised to find individuals who finished it within 18 months and worked full time.  The program is demanding, but rewarding.  The pre-requisite prepare you for the follow on courses.  The only negative I can say is the administrative problems can be frustrating.  The business program has accreditation with the IACBE.

Review:

I completed a degree and a half at this school before I could not take the administrative problems this school brought on me. After finishing my bachelors degree with them, as active duty military, I enrolled in their flouted MBA program. The program itself, while not challenging, was at least interesting. But that was not the issue. This school says that they work with military all the time, that they support the military... Then why can't they figure out the simple process of processing GI Bill payments? Why do I receive bills from the school when they KNOW my payments come directly from the Veterans Administration? This would not have been a big issue except every semester they would put a hold on my account, right around week 10 of a 12 week semester. This meant: No sending transcripts out and NO REGISTERING FOR CLASSES. This happened EVERY semester. When I called to request that this be changed, they said that there was nothing they could do about their computer system. They knew the VA would be making their payment within a few days, but they could make no exception for a veteran who had already spent tens of thousands of dollars at their college. 

Since disenrolling at Bellevue University, I have continued to receive letters saying I owe them money. I have been out of class now for about 8 weeks and I get a letter from the school every couple of days. Funny thing is, they sure can send bills and letters but they never return my phone calls when I try to find out what it is I'm being billed for. On top of this, I've been trying to apply to other schools to complete my degree and they won't send my transcripts out because I "owe" them money. 

Wow, Bellevue University. I recommend ALL stay away from this school. It's overpriced to begin with. But to my fellow active duty, reserve, guard, and veterans: Take your well earned money elsewhere. This will only cause you pain and suffering in the end.

GREAT SCHOOL!

I am currently attending Bellevue University.  It was one of the best decisions that I have made.  The online format is awesome.  Don't think that just because it's online, it's easy.  Most of the courses so far have been very challenging.  The support is great as well.  It's really worth the money.  I will most likely obtain my Ph.D from Bellevue as well because I'm leaning toward Human Capital Management although I wish they offered a DBA program.  For me the deciding factor was Bellevue’s accreditation, the fact that they have a brick and mortar school and the affordability.

Great MBA Program

Review:

Great school, graduated from Bellevue's online MBA program last August. The course work was quite demanding, most courses required a proctored comprehensive final in addition to weekly online quizzes, individual and group projects, and weekly homework assignments to be posted and discussed. A lot of work but a lot of learning! Most of the instructors (10 out of 12) were fulltime faculty and held Phd’s from schools like University of Nebraska at Lincoln, Texas A&M, and Purdue.
Overall a great experience, I highly recommend.

Review:

The best decision I ever made was enrolling in the Bellevue University Master of Public Administration(MPA)program.
I am currently enrolled in the MPA program at Bellevue University and will be graduating this summer. I can tell you that Bellevue university program is more rigorous than other big regional universities that is the opinion of a friend who has the same degree from a different university. The teachers are great the assignments though tough but are stimulating, I can proudly say with confidence that I learned something. I enjoyed the experience, I wish they offered a PhD program so I can still continue with this great institution.

The MBA program is rewarding, and worth the $$

Review:

I am currently in the last semester for this program, therefore I can provide you with some objective information.

1. The classes can be challenging.  If you want to learn how/why an MBA degree is important (and necessary), this program provides a good overview.

2. It is true that the program can be completed in 18 months, two classes per semester- 12 week semesters.  However, the classes are NOT "watered down".  Make sure that you can handle the work-load before taking two classes at a time.

3. You WILL have homework, tests, group projects, individual projects, and lots of reading.  Expect to have at least 10 hours of homework per week, and at least 3 hours of class interaction, for each class.  In most cases, you will need to post/interact more than three days per week.

4. You WILL need to brush up on your math/accounting skills.  This is a "constant" theme for most of the classes.  Don't worry, they can provide you with some refresher classes to get your skills up to speed.

5. You WILL need to write a lot of papers.  These are not the "typical" term papers, etc. from the undergrad degree.  You will have to use the MLA/APA format with lots, and lots, of references.  Again, don't worry- Bellevue has a world-class reference library (on-line) that makes writing and researching a relatively simple process.

I was aprehensive before taking on-line classes, but am happy that I gave Bellevue a chance.  I have learned a tremendous amount of information that will help my future business career.  Keep in mind that on-line classes are NOT easy.  They actually require more time than physical class programs.  However, I feel that I have learned more than I would have by sitting in a classroom, and driving to class, etc.

Whatever you decide, make sure that you do your homework before selecting an on-line school.  Too many choices could turn into a difficult task.  I have found that Bellevue has "perfected" the on-line format because they have been doing these type of programs for a while.  I am not saying that they have been perfect (we have had some technical glitches from time to time), but they have performed over 99% of the time.  The website is rarely down, and I have always been able to get technical help when necessary.

Good luck, and I wish you well with your education!!

I began my MBA program in March of 2007 and will complete my degree in August of 2008. This institution is excellent! The teachers are highly motivated, the materials are challenging and the advisors are extremely helpful. I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Bellevue University.
