Kennedy Western University

I already had two years college credits and was trying to finish my degree while working full time. I paid over $8,000.00 and took one class. I took off a few months due to working so much overtime but was told I had up to five years to complete my degree program. I called back about six months later due to I was unable to enroll online. I called and emailed them numerous times and never received a response. Can anyone advise if Western International is the same company or if I can stil be a part of the class action suit? I have never sued anyone, but I do not think this is or was a company with integrity and should be responsible to all of the students they misrepresented. Thank you kindly for any information.

They sent me all kinds of certification including what appeared to be a genuine accreditation certificate. It turns out they lied to me. I didnt find this out until they had all my money and I finished my courses with them. I applied for a job as a probation officer, and found out that this school was just a diploma mill that no one recognized when you want a job that requires a college degree. I threatend to sue and they offed 1/2 my tution. i sent them back their check and demanded a refund in full. They agreed to this as long as I didnt sue them. I finished my degree online through Indiana State Univeristy and am now a Chief Probation Officer.

Kennedy Western University was a well founded establishment with a solid foundation of professors. As with most schools, the experience was whatever the student made it. I started out slowly and soon learned that it was up to me to step up the pace and get more involved. There was a plethora of information and resources to access if one was to do so. I completed my degree at Warren National with no regrets. The knowledge I acquired through both schools has helped me trememdously in my career.

Kennedy-Western offered a very good PhD in Business Administration with courses, textbooks, and tests more difficult than my master's work (resident degree, top 100 tier 1 college). The dissertation was very long to research (my choice of the subject, but approved by university) and took me 15 months to write. Accepted, and I subsequently used it to change parts of my company's business operations and some of the major HR programs (Fortune 1000 company). Wyoming Higher Ed accredited, they did not get regional accreditation before changing ownership and name to Warren National. WNU was unable to attain full WACS accreditation despite good effort (endowment flow issues) and closed its doors for good couple years ago. KW-WNU had a good run of 25 years. Definately NOT a "diploma mill" like some zealots claim. Difficult, but worthwhile degree.
