Herzing College

Hi everyone, I have read each and every review. I am so confused about what kind of school Herzing might be. I am a junior i high school, but I am very intrested in their school. When I called the high school admissions advisor, she gave me lots of useful information. Im not sure if I'll be at the Madison campus or online, I might just do a mixture of both. If anyone has any suggestions,concerns,advice,etc. please let me know. Thank you very much!

i would not recommend this school. they are a scam they can't even place students in jobs like they say they do. I don't even think the teachers they have are certified. i would stick to a community college or university trust me you don't want to waste ur time with this people. 

Herzing is a for profit school so once they get your money you are nothing more to them than a number. They do not want people to complain and if you do you will be worse off than if you kept your mouth shut.
I must say that my Herzing experience was a nightmare. Oh, they were nice at the beginning but then things went downhill. Teachers who never answered e-mails, students copying your posts word for word, unanswered phone calls from the campus, and the biggie teachers never showing up for classes two weeks at a time.  When you complain, you are labeled a trouble maker and then there is no help.  You can't get through to anyone who will give you answers, they just give you lip service. I wish I would have done my homework before enrolling because I would have chosen another school or a community college close to home.
I would not recommend Herzing as a college to attend.  There are better schools out there and to be truthful, the amount I paid for a diploma I could have been in my 3rd year of my Bachelor's at any other school.  
Do your homework before choosing Herzing.

i totally agree. i went through the same thing

What works for some might not work for others. Do what we can and hope for the best. I am going to attend Herzing in January 2011 for my online bachelor's degree in Computer Science. If anyone is in this program and could offer some hints or tips regarding professors or classes that would be very helpful. I thank you for your advices and comments in advance.

At Herzing University you are treated with respect and consideration. You are not rushed into anything. They are very well organized and take the time to help you with any of your questions. The order in which you take your classes fall into place according to the skills you will need to know for your next classes. Derrick Flowers is the one who helped me to enroll and I have to give him credit for his extreme patience with my lack of knowledge with computers, not to mention his great sense of humor. The school s financial department is above board and I have to say everyone at this school is a pleasure to work with. I am in my third semester now and am doing well. I work hard on my assignments and read the books. I intend to learn. The teachers are amazing. Some write comments more than others. I like getting the comments because then I know if I am heading in the right direction. This school is making it possible for me to achieve my degree and I cannot thank them enough.

I started Herzing in June of 09 and at first they were wonderful in fact most of the staff still is, I had one issue with financial aid but it was taking care of in a timely manner, however the classes for Medical Assisting are a joke before attending this school I was going to another college in my home town that was not online courses but my husband got orders to go to another state so I had to find another college to finish my degree and stumbled upon Herzing online, I thought this would be a great idea to do online classes considering my husband is active duty and we can move at anytime. At first things went well except for a book issue that took almost to the end of the first term for me to get I should have known right then that it was going be down hill from there. I hear other students say you get what you put in but take it from me this is so not true because I defintley put my all in it and had always been an "A" student, first of all the instructors never got back to me within an acceptable time if fact I emailed my instructor a week ago and have yet to hear from her, they do give you their phone number but they hardly ever answer and if they do their not much help. I would have to say that Medical Assisting is not a degree to take online in my opinion you need a class room setting especially for clinical labs and dosages not to mention phlebotomy it may work out for someone who does not really care about actually knowing the clinical aspect of it but for me I want to be sure I am educated. After leaving here you should have your degree in what you sought after and also a degree in teaching because all you are gonna do is pay thousands of dollars for a so called instructor to post assignments and grade what you taught yourself. Honestly, please don't waste your money, I only wish I would have had this advice a year ago!

Hey everyone, I am in the process of signing up for the Graphic Design program at Herzing, and wanted to get some feedback on the program good or bad. Thanks:)

I just started Herzing in the Birmingham area for the medical billing and coding program. Everyone has been more than helpful. They walked me through every single step. This has to be the easiest transition ever. I will definately be pursuing my bachelor's in health information managment here. I give the school an A!

Thinking of attending Herzing for Fall 10. Has anyone who graduated had trouble finding a job because they chose an online school or because they chose Herzing in particular? Just curious to know if employers view online schools differently than they do On campus schools.

Just started Herzing University Atlanta.  Bachelors in Business Administration major. I have to say that so far its been ok, teachers have a good grasp on material.  I transfered from UOP and I just hated it....

Hello Sheeba, I have been attending Herzing for a year now and the school is great to me. My experience so far has been outstanding. There are complaints about the teachers and their backgrounds, all the teachers I have had have degrees in the field they are teaching. As far as the tuition it is expensive and the rates yes every year goes up but what college doesn't. They all raise their tuition every year. I have attended Strayer, Phoenix, and Ashford and they are so full of it.When attending online schooling there will be some discouragement somewhere. Because everyone is not capable of doing a online class.Yes, you are basically on your own with the work but that depends on the person that is attending.As far as the instructors getting back to you in a timely manner, They have responded to me just fine. The staff is wonderful period, whether it is academic, financial or student sevices. There are no games with this school at all. Threw the BBB they are ranked an A plus and thats what I would rate them if I could. So to choose this school to obtain a degree, I would say you are in good luck and hands of one of the best onlines schools I have ever seen.If you have any more questions please feel free to email me at mrs.lgibbs@yahoo.com

I am going to attend Herzing University in the fall of 2010 in the Birmingham area for nursing. Can anyone tell me anything about the nursing program from this school. Your information does not have to be from the Birmingham school. I will consider any comments because I was wondering how accredited is this school.

Beware bullies in the nursing program.Don't expect the instructors to have a good understanding of the material they are teaching.

i am considering attending herzing for the medical assistant program have u had any problems?  do the teachers seem knowledgeable?

If you are planning on attending this school. Take time to think about it. This school is a hybrid school. Meaning that you take on campus and online classes. The commercials fail to tell you that.It's called Bait and Switch. Now, I laugh every time I see those commercials that claim they are caring, career focused,and convenient. When you agree to attend that school, you enter into a business deal. Therefore, if you have a problem, address it immediately.If needed, file a complaint with the BBB or file a claim in court. WE as students need to keep them honest, and report consumer fraud. Any school that takes your money and does not give you full benefit is breaking the law. We have consumer rights! Learn them. 

i am in the medical assistant program and they only class you should worry about is their pd120 personal finacial class because its all about taxe info so i would request you take that last before they start your program because the class it self is like have two class at once.

hey listen i am in herzing right now and it a great school if you want to attend it online i would suggest you talk to this ammission advicer her name is roschelle she really great and she helping me with one of my classes. her number is 8665080748 ext.671 tell her charlena sent you.

Hi, Im looking to enroll here soon in billing and coding. I wanted to know how it was going for you as of now? Is it well organized?

Greetings,

I am currently attending Herzing for the LPN-RN mobility program. I started in January 2011. "I LOVE IT", I reside in Ga and I commute to the Birmingham location with many others, I am speaking my graduation into existence this December 2011. "Your welcome"

Respectfully submitted,
Nicole

I am attending Herzing Online for the Graphics Design Program and have since fall of 09.  It is a great program you just have to apply yourself and be someone who can go above and beyond to learn.  I will get my associates this new year and may continue to get my bachelor's degree.  I give them an A for a school that can compete with any other online institution.  If you want to have a good education with educators with knowledge who are helpful apply there. 

I don't know a lot about Herzing University Online, but I would love to have more information. I surpose to be starting class April 4, 2010, and I hope I will like it! I was going to Penn Foster Career School intill my account became delinquit, do to financial struggles. I plan on paying the school off and finishing next month, so I can implement the classes studied into my degree program at Herzing University.My current major is medical billing and coding at Herzing University and at Penn Foster. At the current moment I'm attending ashworth college for medical billing and claim, which is the same thing as medical billing and coding. The reason I'm taking this course is use some of there curriculm as well to knock out some of my classes at herzing university.

I attend Herzing I will gradute this year. Iam getting and Assoicates degree in Medical Assitance. I havent had any problems out of the school. They have been very helpful to me. I think before u take any online course you have to really check out the school. No school is perfect so you might find something about a school that you may not like.

I have just left Herzing.  It is pure chaos.  I was in the four year graphic design program.  The online tools are terrible and I'm with Brandon on the course layout.  I was very disappointed.  I logged into my new classes today hoping that these would be better than the last.  It was much worse. Now, because I logged in to these terrible courses, I have to pay for them.  That is just crazy and highly unethical.  They are the nicest people who have ever screwed me out of several thousand dollars though.  They really are very nice.

Teachers that tell you that "bacteria choose to mutate to be resistant to drugs". That went out with the early Soviets and was reject by science long before. Find a better palce.

I have been attending Herzing since October. And so far I love the school. No one gives me the run around at all, they are all strait forward. The only thing that I do not like is the tuition fee. But besides that I really enjoy the University, the work is not hard at all. And as far as the teachers go they are great! I have thought about transferring because of the tuition situation. But I think about the quality of learning I receive at Herzing and I just do not want to leave. I recommend anyone interested in the University to attend. Oh and I am a criminal justice major and the instructors are highly trained professionals, they no what they are talking about.

I will complete my Bachelor Degree program in April 2010 from Herzing. I would recommend Herzing to anyone wanting 2 pursue higher education. I have learned a lot and have enjoyed my time.

I AGREE FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T BEEN READING THE COURSE SYLLABUS,MUST DON'T KNOW WHAT A LOT OF WORK IS.YOU WILL BE LEARNING AT HERZING.THEY JUST DON'T GIVE OUT GRADES.WE HAVE ASSIGNMENTS,QUIZZES,MID-TERMS,AND IN SOME CASES A FINAL PAPER.OH I FORGOT THE DISCUSSION BOARDS ARE VERY IMPORTANT.I ALREADY HAVE AN ASSOCIATES DEGREE IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE FROM ANTHEM COLLEGE.SO I KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GIVING OUT GRADES AND EARNING THEM.I'M WORKING ON MY BACHELORS DEGREE IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE,AND I'M LOVING IT.HAVE A LITTLE OVER A YEAR LEFT.THIS IS AN HONEST COMMENT,SO IF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT COMING TO HERZING GIVE IT A TRY.

I'm currently attending Herzing college in computer network technology my teacher is highly knowledgeable, he is also able to answer computer questions unrelated to the course. I love it! I personally am having a blast at Herzing.

I start Nov 30, 2009 to get my AAS in Medical Office Administration and so far everything's been going smoothly. My admissions director did have a little mix up with the military financial aid, but it was fixed immediately and he apologized. So far, I give Herzing 5 stars. Any other school I have tried to enroll in was not up to par, and made quite a few mistakes. I will post another review later on when I start class to see how everything is with that.

I am a paralegal student at Herzing and I have no complaints. The people that are crying you don't learn anything must not have done the required reading and kept up with discussion board posts. Herzing is 5 star.

I am thinking into going for the  Bachelors in computer science with Herzings because so far is one of the two that  offers this degree online. I am with University of Phoenix now for my associates in IT/Visual Communications but they do not offer the Computer Science degree, so I have to look some where else for this. I hear good and bad things about Herzings so I am confused and do not know what to do or believe. Any one in the Computer Science field that can advise me and tell me who to go to for this degree. Please email me at florestime8@yahoo.com
Thanks Yesenia

I started at Herzing on June 09, and I have I had problems since I enrolled.  I have a degree from Colorado Technical University Online and I can say that with CTU you are forced to learned and you also have scheduled live lectures with the instructors.  However, when I finished CTU I wanted to try something different because it was a little to challenging at times.  But I should have stayed where I was, Herzing is giving me problems after problems.  My first semester I was not enrolled in one of my class, and I was really unaware saying that this was my firs time at the college.  Needless to say I was not eligible for financial due to their mix up.  And it is now September and it still ins not resolved.  I was told that I would be getting a scholarship to cover the difference due to the mix up being a clerical error on their end.  But a few days later I received a call saying the the President stated that I should have called and informed them of the mixup.  I explaied that it was myfirst term, and I was unaware that I had to do the administrators job as well.  So they are not trying to make it my fault and charge me for a mistake that was not mind.  I hate this school, and if you have other options then go with the other options.  Herzing is not interested in Higher Learner they are more interested in paper chasing.  And this is coming from someone that has finished an online degree, and with CTU I had no problems at all.

I agree with Christy. As soon as a problem arises, they make it the students fault. No matter how flagrantly at fault they are. All that shows is their lack of credibility as a school. As I am nearing my graduation, I feel more embarrassed than anything getting a degree from this school. 

I officially start the Bachelors in Health Information Management in October 2009. I have not had any major problems so far. There has been issues but so far everything is on the up and up. The staff really helped me with University of Phoenix and getting some information that was need. I hope the staff continues to work with me as well as I with them when difficult situations arrives.... Herzing Online University gets an A+ from me :<)

Hi my name is Saadiqah and I'm officially enrolled in Herzing.I start my first class august 5th.Personally I've been getting all, the right answers from admissions down to the financial aid department.Herzing has had great job placement rates and for those who didn't like the school,maybe online is not for you.Every school is going to have their problems rather it be campus or online.It's what you put into it.I'm working on my bachelors in criminal justice.For now Herzing gets an A also.

I received my BS in Homeland Security and Public Safety from Herzing in 08.  I actually enjoyed the school and instructors. I found them to be knowledgeable in their fields.  True I had a few issues but if you go into an online degree program and expect it to be smooth you should not even try an online degree program.  Herzing Administrators were always so helpful and responsive....... Herzing gets an "A".

I ATTEND UNIVERSITY OF PHOENIX AND ALL ONLINE SCHOOLS ARE THE SAME. WHEN ONE IS ATTENDING AN ONLINE COLLEGE YOU MAINLY HAVE TO FEND FOR YOURSELF,WHICH IS OK. THERE IS NO PERFECT SCHOOL ONLINE OR ON CAMPUS. SOMETIMES YOU JUST HAVE TO DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO TO GET THE DEGREE. EVEN IF ONE GOES TO A CLASS SETTING, THAT DOES'NT MEAN THAT THE TEACHER WILL BE HELPFUL EITHER. I AM GOING TO ATTEND HERZING COLLEGE FOR MY BACHELORS DEGREE I HAVE READ GOOD THINGS ABOUT THEM AS WELL AS BAD THINGS SO WHO KNOWS.....

OK i had only 2 schools in mind it was herzing and kaplan.. herzing is alot cheaper then kaplan i hear complaints on both schools.. it has me very confused.. i really need and want to know more to see which is better for me.. I'm looking to get a degree in legal studies BS

This college is ridiculous. The instructors I had...had NO experience in the field whatsoever. One instructor actually worked at the college and another had a masters in something just opposite of the course him/her was teaching. This college is a waste of money and time. DO NOT spend your valuable money on this college. You will be DEEPLY upset and not satisfied. They try to talk the college up like it is very prestigious and it is not. They talk about how long the college has been giving education. YEAH. It's quality VS. quantity...don't be fooled. I learned the hard way.

I am a new student at Herzing and I have to say that I agree with Brandon's description of Herzing.  The course is not setup well at all and the teacher are not very good.  I am looking into changing schools!

If your planning to attend Herzing College, look at other college's.  I have about 2 semesters left before I graduate with my Bachelors in Homeland Security and Public Safety and I know most of the students in my degree (a huge class of 5-6) are pretty disappointed.  Classes seem like they are put together the night before, instructors are not the best at all, and your looking to spend money that won't teach you that much to be honest.  If your looking for a college and looking to get into Criminal Justice in the Madison area, Please look into MATC-Madison, UW-Madison.... these colleges are so much better, better teachers.... better classes.... better environment...... I along with most of the students are not impressed at all....... I will be looking to UW-Madison along with MATC after I graduate just to have a degree from a better college!!!!!!
