Review:

I completed an MBA in 1995. I did not receive any credit for life experiences. In order to pass I had to study long hours for almost 3 years, so I'm puzzled about some of the allegations that Chadwick was a "diploma mill." I didn't get that impression at all, it was hard work.

Review:

I am simply disgusted that the school I put my efforts and money into is being called a diploma mill and deemed useless.  I graduated in 2001 when they didn't even ask about experience and based entrance and graduation on classes passed.  The coursework was current and took more effort than the "traditional" school I attended.  To me, this method requires more determination and drive as there are no points for showing up.  You have to want it and do it!

Excellent Institution

I graduated in 2000 after inttensive course work.  I rememebered spending most of my lunch periods at work to complete my assignments and/or my test.  Chadwick University was one of the pioneers of distance learning, they just were not as expensive as many others.  As a matter of fact I did my research on the US dept of education website before I signed up, Chadwick was indeed accredited....at least at that time.

I completed this degree in 1996 at the age of 67. The degree enabled me to continue working in my choosen profession until just last year when I turned 80 and retired to write my memoirs. I am still going strong and have continued to educate myself, having just received a Doctors degree in Marine Science. I dare say that without the help and cooperation of Chadwick University. None of this would have happened. Best personal regards. Dr. Frank Myers, ScD.

Why not start an alumini association for Chadwick graduates?

I completed my B.S in Business Admin from Chadwick in Nov 1993. I can honestly say the program was worthwhile and it took me nearly 18 months to complete. I enjoyed the much different learning style, which I benefited from greatly given my work schedule.

I graduated in May of 2005. Immediately I recived a job promotion with a signifcant increase in my annual salary. This would not be possible without the degree from Chadwick.

This was NOT a degree mill. I worked very hard over several years to complete this accomplishment. I have NEVER once been questioned about the legitamcy of the school or the program.

Review:

Unfortunately, competition in the higher education arena made it difficult for many distance learning schools like Chadwick to compete. Well established academic institutions across the country frowned upon the notion that students could simply acquire knowledge without classroom walls.

Chadwick recently lost it's license from the Alabama Dept of Education for failing to maintain financial reserves for tuition reimbursement. While short lived, Chadwick University gained accreditation on November 1, 2000 with the International Association of Universities and Schools (IAUS). This accreditation ran until November 1, 2003.

Chadwick was not a diploma mill. They did not give credit for life experience and satisfactory completetion of course materials was requiresd to receive a diploma.

Review:

Don't waste your money - this school is not accredited by any agency that is either legitimate, or that carries any real weight in the professional world.  Try and transfer undergrad credits to a "real" school or university - NOT GONNA HAPPEN!  Of course they don't point that out to you before you spend your money with them.  On that subject - just remember that "YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!"  Yes, they seem affordable - but wait until you try to use the degree you may actually earn from them.  The books were old - not even new texts, there was minimal use of technologies that can benefit students, and the instructors seemed bothered to actually have to take a phone call or respond to an email.

I graduated from Chadwick in 1995 and I was very pleased with the materials used by Chadwick then. My coursework was intense and up to date for the time and I learned as much from Chadwick or more than a traditional college. I am not paying back student loans like my friends who bought into the money mills at State Universities and today I am a Vice President of a major corporation as well as a Real Estate Broker not afraid to buck tradition.

Review:

I earned my degree in 2002. I worked very hard for many hours. It took me 18 months of part-time studies while I worked. The same books that I studied from for each course were the exact text books that very well recognized colleges used for their coursework. My coursework was challenging and the material well planned. This is definitely not what a diploma mill is. I just learned of the inssues Chadwick has faced after graduating 6 yrs ago. Now I've got to go back to school to get a degree I've already worked so hard to earn because of detractors?
Not fair to any alumni of this school.

Having started the program in 1995 when distance education was in its infancy, I found this program to be challenging and worthwhile.  Over time, accredition became an issue but nonetheless received a very real education in Environmental Management through this program.

I have attended the traditional univseristy class room what a bore.  A professor teaching his narrow point of view only.  If you are narrow minded it will fit you well.  However, I have to admitt Chadwick's material and support by staff outperforms some other so called quality schools.

Review:

I recieved a bachelors degree in 2000 in criminal justice from Chadwick. I had an associates degree from an accredited community college and didn't work as hard to get that. I did learn alot and it has helped me personally. But I didn't know that the degree to the outside world was worthless and an embarrassment. I think that degrees like this in our day of age should be illegal because without an accredited degree, it is most explicitevly, "nothing."

After attending the State University of NY at Albany and Richland College in Dallas, TX - I can tell you that the curriculum is challenging and that completing the program was enriching and satisfying. I highly recommend Chadick University as an alternative to traditional paths.

I GRADUATED FROM Chadwick IN August ON THE 28TH DAY OF 2001 with a MBA degree. It was a real challenge for me when I begin but I made it! I did this through books not on online. There for I still retain my knowledge because I actually learned it!

Review:

I graduated with a BS in Environmental Studies in 1998. In spite of what many detractors say regarding non accreditation, I found the coursework challenging and completed my degree in about 13 months. I already had an AA degree plus 15 credits from UCLA extension. I was graded for each of my lessons and comments about my lessons were given to me after each submission. At the time of my classes, Chadwick was accredited by the World Association of Distance Learning. I worked many many hours each evening and the books provided me were more than adequate and all of the coursework dealing with global warming in 1998 is now being recognized at quite real. The effects of Over population, poverty, air and water pollution, and the overuse of non sustainable of finite resources were thoroughly explored. Chadwick, for me, is not a diploma mill.
