Run...go somewhere else.. Go elsewhere. I attended CTU online and graduated Magna Cum Laude with a BSBA in IT. While attending this school for a year and a half, I don't think I ever read the books. The courses are crammed into 51/2 weeks (as opposed to 12) and every subject has at least one group project where you have that one person who doesn't do anything or surprisingly shows up at the last minute to do the bare minimum and expect full credit. The professors are a joke too...I had several who never bother attending their own live chat sessions and would constantly reschedule. For the amount of money your paying for your education, you should be getting the most out of it, not learning the bare minimum and having to "google" every subject to learn about it. The last straw was that I was enrolled for my Masters degree in software engineering and one week before the class was to start, the admissions counselor calls me to tell me that I needed to take advance math courses and that I couldn't attend the software engineering program. Ughhh...do yourself a favor and find an online university that actually takes the time to teach the students. I found one where the online course is the same as what the traditional students take in the same time frame. I'm learning more now than what I ever did from this place.

Scary Experience turned Perfect! I begin attending CTU in 2010 I pursued an Associate's Degree in Business Administration. I graduated September 2011. I am currently working on my Bachelor's in Health Administration. Since, I am already employed, I cannot say that having this degree has helped me with obtaining employment. It did help me get a $2.50 raise!!! The one thing I will say is, that I believe once you know how a program operates, you know how to deal with the people involved. In my associates program I had a baby and had to repeat two of my classes, while I was out I received a student stipend, Once I was aware that I would have to repeat my classes I asked financial aid did I have enough student loans and pell grant to cover my classes, I was told yes, but upon beginning to complete the classes I noticed that I had a balance of $2100. Its a long story and eventually it all worked out, but the lesson for this story would be, when speaking with financial aid write down everything. So another situation happened recently and because I wrote everything down, I was not in the dark and knew exactly what was going on in regards to my account. So best wishes to anyone who decides to attend the school. I give them a overally 9 because no one is perfect, but they are pretty close.

CTU has a great program BSBA-IT I have attended " Brick and Mortar" school, I pursued B.S.E.E @ The George Washington University. I did not finish due to family commitments ( maintained 3.65 GPA) and other demands. However, I was just as well challenged by CTU's program as I was with GWU. In fact I found that the discipline needed to complete the work was arduous but yet fulfilling. I have used some part of my education on a daily basis. I highly recommend CTU to any student for which the flexibility is a necessity. My career has benefited greatly form the degree. I repeat the program all over again. - CTU Grad ( Cum Laude GPA 3.69)

Look elsewhere Do not attend this school if you want a job. I want to know what their actual percentage of people that get hired with their degrees are. I spent $20,000 at this school and all I got was a pretty piece of paper! I have been laid off for almost two years. I graduated in May of 2010 and I have had no calls for interviews. I am actually looking into spending more money on a real school so I can actually get a job! Look elsewhere. It is too expensive and it is not worth it. If I had a job, yes it would be worth it but the degree you get is not recognized by employers.

BSBA-IT Degree Completed I attended CTU for a year and a half, graduating in 2008 with a BSBA-IT degree. I had attended one other on-line degree University two years before starting this one, and had been completly unimpressed, so I was very thorough in checking this one out. My initial classes proved irksome, mostly because I was unfamiliar with the procedures and the two initial professors were a wrong choice for new students: non-communicative, poor people skills. After that, however, I became more familiar with the medium and impressed with the quality of the instructors. The level of support is very good - many resources to choose from. Immediately upon graduation I received a healthy wage increase at my place of business, where I am a Director of I.T. Overall, this can be a good experience, but as with anything else, you get out of it what you are willing to put in.

CTU was a good choice for me CTU was an excellent choice for me. I found the material challenging and the staff well prepared to teach. Studying online is not for everyone because one has to be very dedicated and disciplined. They are accredited and really prepare you for the business world. I graduate next year with a BSBA-IT, but even when I got my Associates of Scienc, I got a job earning $38,900.00 which is not a fortune, but with just an Associates Degree, I think that it is a very good start, plus it got my foot in the door of a very good company. No school is perfect; there are Harvard MBA holders that are unemployed. If you are dedicated, disciplined and focused, it will work for you too.

Think Again if you want a company to hire you. I fell for the scam and was sucked into this school. Right after I finished my degree I wanted to get an IT job and several fortune 500 companies told me straight out that this school isn't well respected and good look getting an IT Job. At this point i figured I would go to my local university to get a graduate degree and well my credits would not transfer. If you want your resume to stay out of the garbage when you send it in don't apply or go here. Their sister school recently had some legal problems almost loosing their accreditation and was cited for unethical business practices. I would be very weary because I have to start over again with my school and it looks like they maybe next.

Excellent For Mr. Beware, I'll advise you that I do not work for CTU and if you had trouble with admissions then clearly you had difficulties understanding the process. My experience so far is admissions went smooth, yeah the counselor called often to make sure I was completing my admissions tasks. I'm now 50 credits in and I am enjoying my learning experience. The material for classes is superior and the curriculum is challenging, yet fun. I would recommend this school to anyone, even the brick and mortars because CTU is a brick and mortar school offering online degree programs.

Challenging CTU has a very rigorous program. I liked the challenges that were thrown my way at this school. I've excelled to the best of my ability. However, I do think that they're very expensive. What college isn't now a days, though?
