Review:

Finished the MBA program back in 2009 and I have to tell you that it was challenging & taught me plenty despite the self-learning approach. It's really how much time & effort you put into the program that truly determines your success & value of the program given the self-paced & self-learning approach.  For those who can handle distance learning, their programs are well-designed and in the end  helped me land a decent job afterwards!

As with all education, what you get out of any graduate program is what you put into it.  CCU gives you incredible flexibility to work on the program in your own time without the pressure of deadlines.  This has been perfect for my professional career.

I have tried other programs that were too rigid and made it difficult to stay on track if something came up.  I put a lot of work and effort into this degree and have been proud to have it on my resume.

Pretty good

Pretty good program.  You get out of it what you put in to it.  The design forces you to do some research and learn it that way.   The credits seem to be transferrable to many RA colleges.

Great School and Program!

I just began the MBA program and so far the experience has been great. I have never had to wait more than a few hours for answers to emailed questions; test grades have been done in a day or 2 at the most and everyone at the school is extremely responsive. The coursework is thorough - you have to read the entire book and write 4 essays for each course. I've learned a lot so far and because it is self-paced, I will earn my MBA in under a year! Great program - I highly recommend it.

I have already attained my MS in Clinical Psy. from CCU and am starting my MBA/Human Resource Management.  I have had no bad experiences with the university, and I have learned a lot.  With any degree you get what you put into it.  I graduated with my BS as a 22 year old baseball playing party boy.  I have joined the military and have used my government benefits to attain these two graduate degrees.  They are recognized by the Department of Education and will increase my salaried compensation ten fold.  If you are a working adult that wants to attain higher education, get to CCU.  Great school!

Excellent School for the Professional

Review:

I attended both traditional and distance learning universities over the years.  California Coast rates very high in their content and methods over many of the so called top universities and definitely better than any community college I attended. I agree other on here that say you get what you put into it.  This is true with all schools.  Dollar for dollar I would gladly match my M.B.A. degree from California Coast against anyones.  I trained professionals with degrees from the regionally accredited UC and Cal State systems who didn't learn half what I learned at California Coast.  California Coast University is an undiscovered gem with quality programs for the working professional.  The materials were well-designed by professional educators with the right stuff. Although they have DETC accreditation, California Coast should apply for regional accreditation as I am sure they would obtain it easily.

Customer Service is lacking and their policies are ridiculous. Definitely not worth the money for a non RA degree.

CCU has great student support, great customer service, and represented a great value.  My degree is accredited and my credits were easy to transfer. But most importantly, I learned a lot! This degree has made me a more effective professional.

Not a good education

Review:

The testing at this school is a joke.  The tests are all open book and untimed.  They are straight out of the unit guide so you can look it up & write it down no problem. You don't really learn anything. The degree isn't AACSB and none of my credits could transfer so I was stuck finishing it. I don't even think I was in contact with real professors.  I would get my tests graded and on the essay portion would get no feedback and straight As.  If I had a serious question about the work you could forget about getting a timely answer.  All they cared about was taking my credit card and sending me As.  This is just a piece of paper, not an education.

The MBA program @ CalCoast U is contemporary and relevent.  Faculty and staff are great to work with and are highly professional.  Total experience was enjoyable.  High marks all around.  Affordable and self-paced.  Nationally Accredited and recognized by the DOD & VA for military personnel and G I veteran's benefits.  CCU was a perfect fit for me.

Review:

As a graduate of CCU, I found the learning materials to be well-structured, up-to-date, and relevant. Their student services staffs are exceptionally excellent and always very helpful and responsive. 

I have attended both online and campus schools and frankly I must say I've learned more from online courses, period.

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with CCU and found both the curriculum and the staff to be outstanding. If a distance learning degree that is recognized by the CHEA and US Dept of Education through DETC accreditation will meet your needs, I would highly recommend them.

Review:

The MBA Program at CCU is outstanding. 

I have taken graduate level courses at several other schools, at both Regionally Accredited and Nationally Accredited institutions, and I can honestly report that CCU is at least on par with the RA coursework, and far superior to the NA coursework that I’ve taken.  

The average MBA coursework consists of a Study Guide and Textbook(s).  The Study Guide is provided by the school and is included with tuition (no extra charge). These Guides are organized in such a way that you receive a complete syllabus for each course along with instructional materials, which guide students chapter by chapter through the corresponding textbook. Each Study Guide contains an overview and summary of each textbook chapter, along with a listing of important keywords with definitions and self-tests on key points. Each of those items is referenced back to the specific learning objectives for the chapter, which allow the student to easily understand concepts or theories presented in that particular chapter. Study Guides contain 4 "Unit Test" equally spaced throughout the instructional materials, a brief writing assignment and the Final Examination. Textbooks can be rented from the school or purchased elsewhere. 

The administrators, faculty, instructors and staff are made up of some very fine people, and they are all only an e-mail or phone call away. And they are always happy to hear from perspective, current, and former students.

What truly sets CCU apart from most other universities is their unabated commitment to the individual student and to student services in general.

I can't say enough about how much this school has done for me, and the many other students I met through CCU. But please don’t take my word for it, call them for yourself and you will soon experience what separates CCU from the rest.
