Affordable and relevant, though a bit inconsistent Completed the MLS in 2009; the coursework was relevant, and as it's a lot of guided study is what you make of it. The degree has paid for itself several times over in 3 years; helped win a promotion at work, and have since landed a new Exec-level job, though having to explain what MLS from the "presitigious FHSU" (wink wink) was to an interview panel of VPs was interesting. If you're looking for a Masters Degree from an accredited, bricks-and-mortar school (vs. an online mill or for-profit mill), if you're paying for it on your own, or if don't have the GPA for a highly selective school, FHSU may be a good fit. If you need spoon-fed courses and prefer the cachet of a bigger school, look elsewhere.

No help from there I had applied, enrolled and accepted to attend online, received everything I needed to become a student here. when time came to get set up and all that fun stuff, I had no staff support to help me walk through the process. They seem to behind with technology and when I called for help, they had no idea on how to help me. This helped my decision in withdrawaling from the University. all because they didn't have the time to help me get set up and get rolling so i could learn. I believe that the staff doesn't care or have the time to get new students going.

Best online school so far I have previously been enrolled with Park University and Central Texas College. While they were both good schools, I found the 8 week format to be too fast for me to truly absorb the information. Both schools required a proctored midterm and final for every class. As a result, I spent many lunches at work taking exams. Most classes at FHSU do not require a proctor. This is because they usually have essay exams. You can't just peek in a book to completely answer an essay question. To get full credit, you have to have a good grasp of the material. Another thing I like about this school is how understanding the teachers are. I was admitted to the hospital for a week and was unable to complete my assignments. Both of my professors understood and I was still able to complete the work that I missed. I am only halfway through two classes, but so far this is a good school.

Master's in Information Assurance I completed my Master’s degree in Information Assurance at Fort Hays State in the Fall of 2010. I looked at a number of different programs, but as a full-time employee chose Fort Hays because it was affordable, allowed for a flexible schedule, and most importantly to me, is certified by the NSA as a National Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance. While attending, I was able to earn my CISSP—a goal I had long sought but could not have attained without the education I received from my Information Assurance coursework. There were two Linux classes I wish I wouldn't have taken because they weren't challenging enough, but all the other coursework was plenty demanding. By the end I was so tired of writing papers and reading textbooks I swore I was done with school for good. Anyone who says it's a diploma mill must have had very different professors in a different program because that certainly isn't the case with Information Assurance. The Liberal Arts requirements themselves are quite demanding, and me thinks the people who complain about there insignificance are the same people that complain about the insignificance of History, English, and any other Liberal Arts discipline. For what it's worth, most of my classes started with 10-15 students, but slowly dwindled as the semester wore on. There were only three Information Assurance students in my graduating class. Make no mistake, you will have to earn your degree!

Horrible I have taken several courses here but no more. Was taking the test and somehow I lost the page. Could not get back in. I called the help desk they said there was a program that if you left the page it locked you out. I conntacted the teacher several times finally got a response days later. She said I failed the test and there was nothing I could do. Insane.

Real School ...........Real Degree I am a graduate of FHSU. I am very pleased with the program and would advise anyone interested in furthering their education to consider FHSU. It is a fine university. The campus in Hays, Kansas is beautiful. This is a good a school, if you do not the like the program, go somewhere else, but don't bash it.

Don't waste your money You get what you pay for. The program is inexpensive, but it is full of courses that will prove useless and unrelated to your field. The core requires ten credits, which is a third of your coursework. These courses are often odd, and definitely worthless. There is no academic freedom, you have to get approval to write a sentence. Very little emphasis on research. If you are looking for an academic degree, look elsewhere.

Admissions I applied online to Fort Hays university 2 months ago and up till today I have not heard back from the admission staff. I contacted the transfer students admission rep and she has rec'd my paper but too lazy to do anything about it. I have no intention of pursing anything with this college. The admission staff so far is a joke. I have since started classes else where. Good you to you all!

The Most Outstanding Value Today Earned my MLS at FHSU in 2001. I had no scholarship, tuition assistance, or other financel aid, so I searched far and wide for the least expensive regionally accredited Master's degree and found FHSU's Virtual College. Northwest KS low cost of living may be the reason but down-to-earth teachers who must like the rural life are a bonus. The Blackboard on-line experience supplemented by DVD's and email worked well. Ideal for independent learners who thrive on self-study with the added benefit of limited class interaction. The overall value is paramount.

Awesome experience I've been at FHSU since 2006 and I'll be finishing the BGS degree this December 2009. I've already been excepted on a conditional basis(full admittance once I'm done at FHSU) to several tier 1 university master's programs. All in all, I've really only had one awful professor. I encourage anyone interested in attending FHSU to go to rate my professor.com and check out reviews of profs of classes you're interested in taking. If a prof has a really lousy review, don't take a class with them! Simple as that. Classes were no walk in the park. All of the upper division courses I took required research papers, short essays, exams, quizzes and discussions of the text material or current events. If you're looking for an easy degree, try the University of Phoenix or some other rip off school. If you're looking for a quality education that will serve as a bridge into a new career or graduate program, go here. Go tigers!

Keep Looking I have written a review in the past, and I feel it's time to update it. I have been attending FHSU Virtual since 2007. It has only went down hill from there. If you consider yourself really smart, then maybe this is great for you. But when you run into courses like Statistics, Economics, College Algebra, etc. Be prepared to learn and grasp all that information/concept on your own. For the last 4 semesters, my instructors have had little to no contact with us as students. Most of the time they don't grade your work until the last minute so you will have no idea where you stand in the class until they do so. They will not be considerate to the fact that you are teaching yourself this material so don't look for any sympathy come time for you grades to be turned in. There is nothing worst than giving your all for 4 months straight only to turn around and receive a D by missing the mark by a couple of percent points. This has happen to me in several of my classes, and the teachers aren't the least bit concerned. I think most of them are annoyed by the whole "virtual" thing in the first place.

Not a Diploma Mill but getting there Fort Hays State University has strengths and weaknesses. The strengths are that the courses are more inexpensive than most university courses. Online courses can be a great way for someone to get their degree who works fulltime and has a family. Like a lot of things, you get out of it what you put into it. If you just want to get a master's degree for advancement and are a very independent learner, FHSU may suit your needs. If you're looking for quality, to learn something, and be in a supportive academic environment -- I'd give FHSU a pass. FHSU is a "real" university and accredited and it has gone into online education in a big way. It has increased it's online degree programs and it's online courses. Course sizes are often large, especially for a master's degree program--with 25 to 35 students. Do not expect quality feedback from your professors or your phone calls or emails returned. For Fall 2009 courses, it is typical of FHSU. Course schedules are not fully posted and it is May and pre-registration has been going on for some time. Fall 2009 core courses are still being approved. I am not talking about FHSU approving extra sections after the first ones were full -- they did not list initial core courses! If you wish to register for classes that you need you will find that they are not listed. You cannot ask your adviser (who has a truckload of students to advise) because they do not know any more than you do. The courses may or may not be added. Since FHSU is also closing it's campus doors during summer 2009, it seems that FHSU is more concerned with cutting costs rather than helping out students or even making it easy for students to sign up for the courses they need. Courses may be taught by someone who is an adjunct/visiting instructor (without a Ph.D.) who is not actually at FHSU because FHSU farms out it's courses. Although FHSU gives little support, it's computer system Blackboard may be down for days at a time, and you may not be able to get answers from anyone (FHSU unlike most "real" universities is closing this summer though it's online courses will still be available) -- the student is still expected to turn in assignments on time, dot every "i" and cross every "t" --this can be very frustrating.

Could be better I have been attending FHSU for the last 3 semesters, and I must say it could be better. The con's to this school is majority of the teachers don't interact with students enough, the advisors ignore you, they release your financial aid 3 days before the classes start so forget about using it for books, if you drop a class you can't replace it because all courses fill up before the semester even starts, and there is a huge load of work per course. The pro's to this school is that you do EARN your degree through quality work and if you have technical issues they do all they can to help. There is nothing fake about this school!

price right but staff needs help I will graduate Spring 09. This college took all of my hours from another school 90+ which helped me out a lot. I have enjoyed my experience for the most part. However, I did have one course Personal Wellness in which I am still waiting on a reply from the teacher(last semester) and in a few days the spring semester starts and still no reply!!! The tech support gave a systems upgrade a day or so before an exam which made several students computers nonfunctional with respects to opening and closing exams: even after the IT dept sent emails explaining how to correct the problem the teacher still failed to reset the exam therefore several students including myself had to take a very low exam grade for an exam that we could not complete. This has been my only bad experience, but I am almost OUT OF THERE so I suppose I will be satisfied with the college.

GOOD PROGRAM, bad faculty I really want to let people know about FHSU. Fort Hays offers this virtual degree program. Most of the teachers are very comprehensive, BUT, there are few so far very complicated. COMPLICATED teachers will not care if blackboard went down, or if you have a late assigment. I had an experience with a tutor of lab that mailed the experiment materials to the students like 2 weeks late. When I received my kit, some deadlines where gone. He did not allowed me to send my work, eventhough was his fault. I e-mailed the tutor, the counselor, the Director of the Departmend and I got no help. I had to widraw from this class. The same happened with another course last semester. I would not recomend people taking classes in this Institution. It is not worth to pass only in 75 percent of the classes each semester because some of the faculty is really careless.

Good Program This institution accepted all of my credits from 30+ years ago and allowed me to apply them to a General Studies degree. I took my last 45 hours from FHSU and really enjoyed most of the classes. Online is not for everyone and requires a substantial amount of self motivation and discipline. I would as an older person with 5 grandchildren probably not wished to attend college face to face. But I realized my dream of a college education finally at FHSU.

Not bad for the price For the most part I love the university because the price is very reasonble. However, getting contact with support is difficult in the extreme. I work at a University and the Academic Operations and Student Life folks here bend over backwards to help our students, and I just am not seeing that kind of support here at Fort Hays where it can be difficult to get in touch with your advisor or get information or help with where to go and what to do next. Many of the teachers are fantastic, so far in my sociology classes the professors have been exemplary. Both of the two ladies I've had the pleasure with interacting with have had wonderful course outlines with detailed syllabus of events, outlined times and dates for deadlines and communicated freely and openly and in a very punctual manner. The English class I took was the same. Excellent guidance from those three teachers. However, I am currently taking a Jazz Appreciation class from a contract teacher who is providing absolutely no support. There are no deadlines, no discussion. I don't necessarily mind a do it at your own pace class but I find I work better if I have at a minimum some communication, discussion and guidelines and deadlines at the very least to give me some momentum and motivation. My Modern History class was merely ok, and I was disappointed that the teacher made no comments on our essay papers to help us know what we did or didn't get right and simply provided a grading system that told us little or nothing other than the grade we got. However he at least had a good structure set up for the class and was somewhat communicative as well as had deadlines which was good. Only class disappointing to me so far is the Jazz class with the contracted Professor who seems not to care as long as he hasn't got to do anything.

FHSU-Affordable Quality Very supportive academic and technical staff.Issues I had were immidiately addressed and feedback was prompt and professional which made my trasition back to school as a returning adult student more enjoyable. Conduct your own research into schools which offer online programs and I am sure that you would find that when you compare accreditation, quality,support, convenience and cost, that FHSU comparable to many major universities.I would strongly recommend FHSU to any adult or distant learner who is seeking a quality education at an affordable price.

Pretty good I really think the online program requires students to organize themselves, most teachers are very comprehensive, although you should ask other students thru blackboard before enrolling in a course because there are some teacher that are not so flexible, I had to withraw from 1 class this semmester since one of my teachers was not willing to receive late work.(My fault, ofcourse) Other teachers understand that the online program is for people that lacks time and they give you more flexibility. It really depends on the teacher. Overall I give it a 9/10

Response to Online Review I only recently started the program at Fort Hays State University and while it's true that there are problems with Blackboard, I find that the instructors have been more than helpful. Those that I have are quick to respond to emails and are very accommodating and always helpful. Deadlines have been extended as needed when Blackboard went down. The Help Desk generally gets back to me in a timely manner whether it be via email or by phone. For the money, I am very satisfied with the program overall.

Online Nursing RN to BSN Program Although FHSU Virtual College is affordable, the technology is extremely problematic. The Blackboard online lecture system is constantly down, exams cut off in the middle and then you must wait days for an instructor to reset the exam. Instructions for assignments are often unavailable and grading criteria is frequently unclear. Although they will extend deadlines due to the frequent computer system failures, this does not present a feasible solution to the problem since uncompleted assignments just stack up while one is waiting for the Blackboard system to be repaired. The computer help desk is not available during the hours when working students need assistance. Administration frequently fails to respond to emails. One instructor, by means of web postings to students, seems quite uncaring. I really don't want to do this program but since I've already invested so much money in it, I just don't have a choice. I would not recommend this program to others until the technological systems are fixed.

Business Degree I just started with FHSU this summer. *Support: Enrolling had to be the hardest task of all. Since I'm no very familiar with the college scene, let alone the virtual part. I found it very hard to know what I was suppose to do and what was going on. No one contacted me to explain the process, and my phone calls seemed to just get me caught up in the transferring process. When I finally reached the person in charge of the Virtural Business portion of the program, she was the least bit helpful. The only way to contact her was thru email, and I specified questions, that I was expecting an answer for, but I didn't. I had to write her again and outline my question once again. Just the whole enrolling and getting started portion was a big headache. With VERY little support. *Technology: Here lately there seems to alway be a problem with their Blackboard. What actually prompted me to come and writ this review is, I'm in the middle of a test and the site has just went capoot. I have no idea what my test result are. I have studied for 2 chapters and I'm ready to take my test while the info is still fresh, but the site doesn't work. This isn't the first time this had occured either. Cost: I guess the cost of attending is pretty good. My biggest issues are the cost of books. I'm only taking 2 classes for the summer and spent over $400 for the books and video's needed. Teachers: My teachers thus far has been GREAT, really prompt with emails and their lectures are very well put together. The only problem is their technology (videos) are very old and choppy. Overall, I still intend on continuing to graduate from this school. Also a good resource of picking your instructors is on Myspace. Myspace has a network where you can grade your teachers. I'm really PO'd at the advisor though, for allowing me to take these classes that I'm taken for summer, because there is too much material to be covered in a short summer semester

FHSU online I am in the military and have been with FHSU for 3 years. I do not agree with the poster about no structure to the courses. Every class I have taken has been well-structured with expectations given in written detail. Teacher are active participants and the tuition prices are very fair. I was even able to take classes during a recent Middle-East deployment. I have researched a lot of schools before choosing FHSU. I am extremely happy with all aspects of the college and look forward to starting a Master's program with FHSU next spring.

Finally The Virtual College was a good fit for me. I was able to easily transfer credits from another school and graduate with a B.S. Degree in two years. The staff was supportive and friendly. Most of the instructors are easily accessible by e-mail and many respond even on nights and weekends. Fort Hays State University is a school with an established reputation and carries substantial weight with employers.

Good value, but needs work I have found most of my professors to be responsive and interactive with the class-- more so, perhaps, than in a traditional classroom setting at a large school. Some are better than others, of course, but that would be the case anywhere, and in any program. HOWEVER, I would greatly caution anyone about this program because of persistent problems with the school's distance education delivery system (Blackboard). The site is down at least 50 percent of the time during the evening hours (when I, like most distance students, need to do my work). This has caused me countless headaches during my two years at FHSU, and the problem only seems to be getting worse. Fortunately, my instructors so far have been understanding of the problems caused by this issue, but more than once I've had to turn work in late because of the school's technical problems. FHSU is certainly a good value, and I like that it is an accredited public institution. But, the virtual college can be VERY frustrating because of the technical shortcomings.

A Perfect Fit This degree was a perfect fit for me. The concentration in English will allow me to teach (my goal), and the instruction was top-notch. An online graduate program is not for the faint of heart, and the coursework proved time-consuming and challenging. The professors are professional and easily-accessible. This was a valuable experience for me (I would do it over again), and I would recommend this program to anyone.

An excellent choice for me FHSU's motto is "affordable success." That's what I was looking for, and that's what I got. An online degree isn't for everybody, but for the student who is self-motivated and self-directed, FHSU's program makes a lot of sense. Like many people in midlife, I wanted to start a new career in a field I loved. I wanted to be a website developer. I knew I needed to sharpen my skills, and I thought that having a masters degree would help me land contracts when I was ready to work full-time in my new field. My mentor told me about how she earned her advanced degree in an affordable, outstanding, online program. Her positive experience at FHSU sounded perfect for me. The University's Master of Liberal Studies program offered an emphasis in information technology, with plenty of options in the area of website design and development. Most importantly, the faculty showed great flexibility in letting me select projects to fulfill some of the advanced courses. That way I could concentrate on areas that I was sure would be practical, well-suited to my interests, and complementary to my growing skill set. Being able to fulfill course requirements online made the program even more affordable and allowed me to stay in my home town and continue working. Not only did I get the practical education I sought; I also got a fuller appreciation of the ways that information and knowledge management are revolutionizing society in every respect. FHSU gave me a way to achieve a life goal: an advanced degree in a field I love, with a start in a new profession, and a credential that opens doors.

It was great! I'm not sure what the first reviewer was thinking. They must not have put much work into their coursework. Online programs aren't for the disorganized. You have to be organized and above that, disciplined. If you're not that, don't sign up for any online tasks. It just won't work. I found FHSU to be one of the friendliest communities I've ever come into contact with. The instructors were not only approachable, online, but also extremely knowledgeable. Twenty years ago when I got out of high school I'd have not gone to FHSU but the current president of the university has made a vow to produce some great content and it's evident as at my graduation ceremony last year, there were more graduates then ever before and they were going to give two more graduations overseas! Not only was the education a great feather in my cap, but the value was unbelievable. This university is one of the least expensive that I researched out of the eight schools I cconsidered. You won't lose at this school UNLESS you allow yourself to do so.

Program Feedback My juncture at FHSU while majoring in INT & Web D. was a very valuable one. In the end I chose a different career path than the one this curriculum was leading towards. However, the instructors at FHSU had many different career experiences, as opposed to the typical instructor who has only taught during their career span. Many of the instructors had different past experiences and views that only helped develop the curriculum. This surrounding of diversified instructors deep-rooted many of the skills I use every day in my career. I would not have escalated to the level I am now with my current company if it wasn’t for the diversified Cisco Curriculum, general education extensions required by the degree, company tours arranged by the department twice a year, and networking hardware, which is usually only available only at much more expensive schools.

Very disappointing There is no structure to the classes. By week 4 (of 16 weeks) of one class, I did not feel that any substantial information has been covered, it had been mostly review. My second class is set up to be pretty much a self-paced class with little to no guidance from the instructor. Instructors did not participate in discussion boards in a timely manner, including answering questions to that were directed to them. There was very little student interaction. Emails to FSHU staff (other than instructors) are not well responded to. I emailed my academic advisor and finally had to call a week later because I never received a response. The financial aid office took 72 hours to respond to my email. All in all, I was very disappointed in the program. I dropped out after 4 weeks becuase I felt it was a waste of my time.
