Review:

  Their policy is, that if you fail a final you will fail the whole course. You can get all A's while taking the course but if you fail the final for that course thats it, no more chances, you gotta take it again. 

  Thats the stupidiest policy Ive ever heard of, I called my student representative and I asked him what was the purpose of having me taking all these exams for 2 months,(7-A's, 2-B's and 2-D's, enough to pass a course I would think) if only the final counts and he could not answer me. I just wasted 9 months of my life. Please stay away from these people if you value your time and money!

If you want a valued degree that you can obtain online then GU is your choice.  As a graduate of the EET program I can attest I worked very hard like any other graduate and it was not easily handed to me.  They have very good instructors and chatting with other students has been very helpful to form online study groups--it does work--i recommend GU to all of you.

take care

Review:

This is my honest review...

I had a great experience with this school. They're for the military and accepted 90 credit hours from my previous RA credits and military certifications/experience.

I went to grantham because its flexible while I'm performing my military duties. I hate hearing all the negative posts because I think many are disgruntled employees.

Again, I went to the school and it cost me only my time. Books, software, etc. GU paid for since I'm military...they really look out for us. 

The technology used in the labs were realistic, challenging, and the latest software. I studies C/C++ and I feel very comfortable with using it.

Anyways, attending grantham is the best choice logically anf its cost effective for the military. I didn't have to pay for all the unneeded fees i.e. parking, security, library taxes, etc... 

Try grantham and you will not be disappointed.

Also, I am looking into a PhD prgram with ATSU since one of my fellow alumni referred me there. The credits do transfer!!!

It is a pity Grantham is not Accredited Regionally

Review:

I am a lifetime learner that has been attending college for 15 years now in addition to having a very successful career. I have attended 4 colleges/universities so far. I currently have 2 Associate’s, 1 Bachelor’s, and 1 Master’s all from regionally accredited and very respected colleges. With that said, I can say without a doubt that I have learned just as much if not more from my studies at Grantham.  You talk about how Grantham is a joke, but I would submit to you that college in general now is a joke. That goes for regionally/nationally accredited degrees. College was never meant for the masses. It was meant for the few that really wanted to learn. To truly do this one must be committed to a lifetime of learning in addition to furthering the body of academic knowledge. Here is the scenario in a tradional degree mill university. You attend class, try a little and graduate. If you don't want to learn, you don't even really have to try. You are just basically paying your dues by enduring hours of lecture that is really not teaching anything. Real learning occurs through self study and through real life of that knowledge. 
In addition to my academic experience, I have also taught at the adult level for many years and have found that students who are taught independence in learning make for much better workers. Traditional schools are sorely lacking in this area. You can talk about regionally accredited colleges  all day long but it is all a joke if the person attending has no desire to learn. If you attend a class and sell the book immediately afterwards then you fit in to this category.
 With that being said, I agree that a degree at Grantham has less value than a degree at a regionally accredited school but only because of tradition and ignorance. It is a pity Grantham is not regionally accredited because I have learned far more from them than I ever did in a traditional college. Because of time constraints in a traditional setting the instructor either does not use the text book at all or skips large sections in the interest of time. Despite skipping sections of the book, you often sit through hours of stories and political crap that add no value to the learning. At least at Grantham I am being tested on ALL the material in the text book and am not being led astray by an instructor that is politically motivated to further their own agenda or even worse by an instructor that really doesn’t even know the material themselves. Sure at Grantham students can take the easy way out and fake their way through the tests but you can also do this in a traditional college. If you don't believe me ask the average college grad to tell you anything they learned from a class 6 months after they finished it. I would be very surprised it they can tell you anything of value. Grantham on the other hand because of its lack of spoon feed learning and heavy reliance on independence a truly motivated Grantham graduate could easily tell you what they learned.

Computer Engineering Program

Review:

I work as a digital Design consultant (VHDL - ASIC/FPGA design) and decided to take some online courses in computer Engineering.  My original degree field is EE from USF, and so I wanted to get more formal software courses under my belt. 

I've been very happy with the technical content and organization of the course material. There is good useage of simulators, software IDE's, languages etc.  Additionally all the required software tools & books are conveniently shipped to you as part of your tuition.

The customer service varies. Sometimes it seems to take an excessive amount of time to get books for a new class, and it seems as if you are disconnected from the counselers.  Then shortly after you'll get great service and direct support with periodic check-in's to make sure you are staying on track.  
Overall support has significantly improved since 2006 and is now quite good and consistent. 

I can't compare this to other online universities, but compared to a standard regional university I would recommend this school if you need the flexibility and are a self-starter. (e.g. can learn/study on your own)

Review:

Grantham is a great school.  I've been to both traditional "brick and mortar" universities and now online schools and Grantham's curriculum is so far the best I have had.  Grantham puts more emphasis on the selected program of study as opposed to taking a bunch of general electives(philosophy, foreign language, etc.) that have nothing to do with your major.  They do require some general electives as does any accredited higher learning institution, but considerably less than the traditional schools I have atteneded in the past.

Review:

I have been with Grantham for over 2 years now. I have also attended a State University. Grantham allows the flexability for me to attend to school, without that I coud not. Sure, I have had a few problems with Grantham, but I have had the same problems at the State University.(e.g. Poor communication with instructors and administration problems.) No University is without its share of problems. 
The classwork is demanding if you put the effort into it. Despite what others say, I say you can not cheat at Calculus I or II. You have to know it. Online schools:"Its not easier, its just more conveniant."
As far as National Accred vs. Regional Accred. I believe in National, it may not be that of Harvard, Penn State, or University of Wisconsin. But then again, I work 40 hours a week and support my family. The closest University to me is  2.5 hours away. B&M University's are not an option anymore, but I have been to one before. I believe the quality to be the same if not better at Grantham.
Grantham offers what they promise. It is up to the student to get his/her degree. Just the same as everyone else.

Review:

I liked Grantham because it fit my busy military schedule and the cost was no out of pocket expenses. They have a great military scholarship that defrays the cost after your TA is used. What I learned from Grantham was independence and team work with other students using an online forum. The interaction was like being at a traditional B&M except I never had to leave my house…no unnecessary parking, library, security fees; no worrying about getting robbed on campus or injured.

I learned college physics, Calc 1, 2 and Advanced Math (includes Laplace transforms, Fourier series, multiple integration, centroids and moments, moment of inertia, and vector algebra). The use of virtual labs was like being in an actual electronics laboratory. I used electronic design using workbench multisim software (virtual tecktronic oscopes, fluke multimeters, probes, etc.). Here are more labs Grantham taught: Matlab, Microsoft Office, Microsoft FrontPage, Microsoft Project, Microsoft Visual Studio.NET, Motorola M68000 Microprocessor Developer System, Motorola ASM68K/EMU68K, Oracle Personal Edition,

I had a difficult time learning C/C++ because I was not used to programming code, debugging, and using a complier but we the help of my teachers and fellow GU eagles I made it.

Later, I went on to my Masters in MSIMT; talk about writing a lot of papers. We used the APA style and I had a mentor in my Capstone course that had a PhD. My experience with Grantham was “outstanding”. I would like to recommend that they pursue Abet for the EET program, possibly offer an EE program too. Regional would be nice so I don’t have to hear on the website about National being beneath regional accreditation—my employer doesn’t seem to think so not do I. 
I attended Grantham for 6 years and I think it was a very good college--I learbned a lot!

Grantham is a very good school!!!!

I'm in the military and it cost my TA $250/credit hour. With the help of Grantham they payed for the remainder of my tuition = $0 out-of-pocket expenses for me!

The electrical engineering tech course allowed me to gain a vast amount of knowledge. Also, there are hands-on projects too. Its very challenging especially the programming.

I was able to apply what I learned on my job and my boss is very impressed by my new technical background.

One thing I would like to comment on is although Grantham's cirricula is ABET based I would like them to persue official ABET certification. They can do it!

Otherwise, no complaints here.

Overall, a horrible experience.  Severe problems with support.  Lack of return phone calls or e-mails from staff and little support from teachers.  I felt like they only cared about getting my money and once the check was written, I was written off.

Like everyone else has said, you will have major problems transfering your credits anywhere else and will have difficuly convincing anyone that you went to a "real" school.  I've had employers outright say that they will not hire anyone with a degree like this, and others were very sceptical.  I'm sure I was looked over by employers that never even gave me a call back.  

Bottom line:  Look before you leap.

Review:

Grantham is a very good school. 

Overall: I gave them a "9". Always room for improvement but still a great school.

Materials: "9" The materials are new and free!

Teachers: "8" I would like to see teachers particpate more by creating there own webpages for the corses they teach. Once created, it would be nice to visit the site for reference, email address, phone number, frequently asked questions, etc. The teachers are top notch from other top universities holding either masters or PhDs.

Institution: Leadership has revamped the engineering cirricula with new ABET standards. I would like to see a newsletter from them stating what's new or processes they're looking to implement or avenues where I the stident could make suggestions.

Support: "9" Staff is very encouraging, they get a lot of gripe but when i speak with anyone they're always polite and helpful.

Value: It’s valuable indeed! The dept of defense recognizes the school and I could get a GS job tomorrow holding a degree from Grantham Univeristy. I've done my homework and made a very good choice. Many employers including the government realize the importance of an accredited degree and do not discriminate on its type of accreditation. So what its nationally accredited; I would like to see them as both so perhaps one day they will be.

Use of Technology: Grantham uses software technology that interfaces directly with your computer. I've become efficient with many programs e.g. C/C++, MS Project, using multimeters, oscopes, and creating electrical schematics, etc. I would recommend use of videos.

I've read comments about cheating. Cheating is going to and does happen at any college you attend. Is is easy at Grantham-No! The tests are taken online and Granthams policy is you're not allowed to use text, notes, etc. 

Remember, you can cheat at any university but you can't  cheat yourself or your next job once you're hired and expected to do the job.

I would like Grantham to go ahead for regional accreditation and ABET in 2008. I would like to see GU have more undergraduate (e.g. an Electrical and Computer Engineering, Healthcare Administration, Public/Human Resource Management, Biomedical Engineering, and Biomedical Engineering Technology)and PhD/DBA programs (e.g. Management of Engineering and Technology, Business, IT, Computer/Security, etc.)

GU is #1!

Review:

First let me say this isn't a "bitter" review.  I have recently found(thank god) that my 75 credits I took at Grantham will apply at AMU, so I'm ditching.  The coursework is like learning how to pick your nose, all open book testing.  At the time I was taking it I was thinking "Cool...this is easy" but you are really getting no educational value out of them.  Then as I got into the programming courses, trying to get ahold of an instructor was incredible.  My Student Progress Rep ensured me that he has over 150 students, that my problem would be handled when it could be, until it was time to sign a TA request form, then it was all smiles.  

They are on the ripoff report for the way they treated their employees after Hurricane Katrina, I encourage all to read that.  I've had 4 new student progress representatives in the last year alone, how does that say about their turnover?  

National accredidation is nothing compared to Regional accredidation.  Don't think "A bachelors degree is a bachelors degree", as I'm finding out employers do research the education you put on your resume.  Bottom line, you are only cheating yourself by going to a "college" that gives credit through open book testing.  I have written base officials to have Grantham removed from ESO offices as well, and encourage you to do the same.

Review:

Overall a good tech school. I don't see this as a school that will land a job by itself, as there are too many well-known universities that will do that for you. This is a school for someone that has been in the electronics field for a number of years, has military training (or vocational/on-the-job), and simply is looking to "check the box". Transfer of credit/degree is a real challenge due to the DETC accreditation, but it can be done. The EET Alumni are super helpful, and will offer more support than the instructors have time for. The instructor-to-student ratio is abysmal, so don't expect any special attention. This is a particular problem when attempting to complete C, C++, Calculus I, Calculus II, Control Systems, and Signals & Systems Theory (SDP).

Credits will not transfer to california public schools, but will transfer to private schools. WTF? I can get into MIT or Harvard, but not CSUN? Overall, I have applied 70% of what I have learned at Grantham to the real world, but I wish I had more options for graduate studies. At $250/credit hour, I guess that is the trade-off; compatibility for price. If you have the time, or money, go regional and find ABET. If not, Grantham makes for a good, cheap, alternative to others.

Review:

I completed my Associates in less than a year.  I was really happy with that.  Then I went to transfer to a 4 year school and not one school I spoke with would accept a Grantham associates for their program.  They all told me that I would have to start from scratch.

When I first enrolled, I was told that transfering credits would be no problem, but I guess I was lied to because they will not.

Now that I am done with my associates, I can not get any support from the school.  I get calls all the time asking for me to re-enroll.  All they want is my credit card number.  At first, I did not care about the lack of support because I was flying through my classes and making great time, but now it bothers me because I spent a lot of time and money on this and I they won't even return my calls.

Absolutly no service after the sale.  It felt just like the used car lot that others have spoke about.

Great value; I picked up 20% on my salary with the AAS EET, and have 30% waiting for me once I finish the BS.

The math courses were tough to beat, but the student body via the forums were extremely helpful.

Some faculty were top-notch, others were absentee-landlords. I wish they had clearer standards to hold the student progress department to. Sometimes it is on auto-pilot, and everything works. Other times (the exception in my case) they aren't as proactive as I would like them to be.

I loved the use of the A86/D86 programs for Microprocessor Engineering. I also like the fully-registered version of Visual Studio 2005 for C and C++. I wish they would offer up a copy of Maple or Mathmatica for precalc, calc, and calc II. I really liked the fully registered version of MATLAB.

The education is top-notch technology wise; I apply everything I have learned to date on a daily basis at work. I truly believe this has made me an effective field engineer/Technologist.

Overall, I am grateful that an institution such as Grantham exists; I would not have been able to get this far in my career without their course of instruction.

I still don't trust the proctored exam process; I have my proctor keep copies of my answers until the classes have cleared; I have heard many horror stories of tests being lost, causing nasty delays.

I would like to see regional & ABET accreditation for GU, I think they are the most qualified candidate as far as distance education is concerned.

Review:

Overall: "High accolades" Scale of 1 to 10 my rating is 9.

Materials: “Great”. Difficult and informative.  You'll study subjects such as trig, calc 1,2, and diff equations, fourier transform, laplace transform,etc..

Technology:  Virtual Labs include simulation software such as Microsoft Visual Studio.NET (C/C++ programming), Electronic workbench (SPICE, Matlab,Motorola ASM68K/EMU68K, Oracle, Microsoft project/Office/Xp/Frontpage.  Tons of hands-on simulated lab work using simulated circuitry, oscopes (model tecktronix), DMM, spectrum analyzer, and more.

Teachers: Very helpful however; a bit slow to respond to home work questions.  They're very knowledgeable about respected fields of study.

Institution: Leadership very helpful and supportive with students. 

Value: I'm in the military and I value my degree from Grantham. I know it will help me get the right job and open many doors for me.  I'll I ask is give us grantham students a chance...we will not disappoint you.

Use of Technology: Again, great software simulated technology and up-to-date information such as software releases.  I would like to recommend the use of video for additional instruction.  E.g. create a open courseware for students like MIT has on-line.

Code of conduct: Grantham’s has a very strict "Code of Conduct" and policy about cheating. Tests/exams are online and once you begin you have to cmplete the tests or faail.  It's not easy to cheat or use open book testing like many threads are saying.  BTW...not all tests are open book and tests are difficult enough that it requires math calculations or test aren't chapter by chapter its spread out throughout the entire book.

My final comments: Grantham is accredited by DETC. DETC is no different by governement standards then regional accrediation.  This school is NOT a Diploma Mill.  It is an accredited university and i highly recommend it to everyone.

I hope this helps!

Overall: I couldn’t use my degree for progression in the Air Force. I know I will have problems in the civilian world.

Materials: “GOOD”.

Teachers: Need improvement.  They need to be held accountable for not meeting student’s needs (i.e. responding to emails).  I had an instructor tell me to hire a tutor. I struggled through math class on my own...no help!  BTW...not all instructors were bad.  Dr. Sutter was great and there have been other good ones.  If you’re out there “thank you!”

Institution: Leadership needs to wake up and smell the coffee.  You need to listen to its students, instructors, and staff for advice.  It’s called process of improvement!

Support: I gave them a "6".  I rated it not for the 3 bad instructors I had but for the majority of the instructors that pushed me, emailed me back to do better, or study harder.  Thank you!  I did learn a lot from them.  Overall, the adjunct instructors I had were very knowledgeable and supporting.  Grantham should listen to them and take some advice.

Value:  It’s poor!  I have not advanced in the Air Force with this degree.  I have applied for State Jobs in IL...no luck there.  It looks as if the only job I can get is the one I currently have.  Wake up Grantham...you students need both Regional and ABET accreditation.  I have been told by Grantham, We’re obtaining both since 2001.  It isn't going to happen...bad on you for not keeping your word Grantham...shame on you!

Use of Technology: It could use improvement.  I t does use very good technology for software via distance learning.  I think using some hands-on circuit breadboards, multimeter, and a hand-held o-scope would be very beneficial.  Also, use video for instructing students on-line.

My comments about cheating:  I want to say I never cheated and for those that did...shame on you!  You know Grantham’s "Code of Conduct" and its policy about cheating.  It’s like any other school; if you’re caught you get in trouble.  That should fall more on the person than Grantham because you can not get through life or your next job if you’re a cheater.

I would like to see from Grantham: Obtain Regional and ABET at the same time.  Offer a Master's program for Engineering.  Start an undergrad program for Electrical and Computer Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, and Biomedical Engineering Technology.

My final comments:  Grantham if you can hear me...you know my thoughts since I constantly email about "what my expectations are from you" so wake up and smell the darn coffee.  Also, for current Grantham students if you’re going to complain this is a good place, ripoffreport, and the Better Business Bureau.  My advice to students is complaining to Grantham’s President, Dean and Provost and let them know just how you feel about the school.  Also, let them know you’re unhappy and if things do not change for the better and soon you will take your money elsewhere. Grantham…its time to act now before it’s too late!

The courses are very challenging and require a ton of self-motivation to complete.  The electronics labs are done with MATLAB and Electronics Workbench and it would not hurt to have practical experience as well, but most students with a hands-on military background should not have a problem.  The knowledge gained from courses taken at Grantham has served me well in my professional career and have been applicable to my field.  My instructors were comparable to other universities (most are excellent resources and answer questions thoroughly within a few days), but it did help to utilize outside resources such as the open-courseware notes on MIT's website and the course notes at Stanford and UMich.  Overall, I'm satisfied with the level of instruction and am proud to be a Grantham Alumnus.

I earned the BSEET degree from Grantham in 2006.  

Materials: Some of my early classes used the dated Grantham softbound booklets, but later classes used actual college texts.  

Teachers: Unlike some of the other reviewers, I had no trouble reaching the instructors, and they were responsive/helpful.  

Institution: Administratively, Grantham was absolutely abysmal.  Keep copies of everything!

Value:  WARNING! It appears most graduate schools and many employers refuse to accept this degree!!!  For example, a "technology" degree is not considered a professional engineering degree by the US government, and you'll be told to "start over."  I wish I would have known this before I invested the time and money.  Also, Grantham claims to be working on ABET accreditation, but I'll believe it when I see it (they've been working on it for years now).

Use of Technology: Used MicroSoft Visual Studio for programming projects, MultiSim to simulate/test circuits, and MathWorks Matlab for higher level math courses.  All good!

Bottom line: What a shame! Grantham offers a decent curriculum and a real chance to learn electronics engineering.  In fact, a professional electrical engineer from a regionally accredited school was monitoring my Grantham coursework and thought it quite appropriate in both depth and breadth.  Too bad it won't count for much. Save yourself some grief by sticking with regionally accredited schools!

Mr. Colon emailed me back saying that my exams have been graded and I should receive my diploma soon. That was in January. I called Mr. Colon in March to ask about my diploma. He told my that it would be on its way. It is now April and still no diploma. Is there some way to shut down Grantham Univesity? I wish I had my time back so I could go to a different school.

Grantham was a good fit for me! I learned to love mathematics! A good school for someone who can achieve on there own. Customer service is an area that they need to improve upon.

Excellent Choice

 Grantham was an excellent choice for me. It is not the place for people who need a lot of hand holding like most of the complaints on these forums. It took me 3 years to finally graduate. I received a promotion and been accepted to a regional school. Grantham Continually helped me during my schooling.

It is what it is.

It is what it is.  An online school that helps you to further your education.  Some complain that they do not hold our hand to complete the degree, but I went to the large schools and never spoke to an advisor or a Dean or the President.  At least at Grantham I have done all of those things on many occasions.
