Review:

Henley-Putnam University is a great online school!  After seeing some other schools' online programs, I fully appreciate the well thought out layout of the HP website and program.  The website is easy to navigate, the courses are laid out in a sensible manner, and the instructors are knowledgable, approachable, and easy to contact.  Unlike other online degrees that take off points for submitting assignments late, HP is understanding of working students, and is very flexible on turning in work.  I was shocked when my wife's instructors would give her no leeway in due dates (especially since she's military and has some pretty long hours), but at HP, they work very hard at helping working professionals meet both their work and school responsibilities.  
The instructors cover many different view points, know their courses, and have experience in what they teach.  They are also very willing to listen, and willing to change scores, provided you can argue your case well enough to justify it.  A nice change of pace from instructors who refuse to recognize any view or answer other than their own.
The Staff is responsive and helpful, for issues regarding grades, tuition, tech support, or any other issues.  The only issue I have ever had is the mandatory purchase of a laptop included in the program, I feel this should be optional, as most master's students already own a computer.
