Review:

First off I am a military student, that's why I rated the VALUE section as a 10 otherwise tuition is too costly for most people paying out of pocket. Heck you can go to George Washington University for a bit less.

The School is pretty good as is the "classroom" environment. Some of the teachers (the same happened during my regular courses as a B&M college) are not really that interactive, while other are over the top, but so far so good. 

Support services BITE! As mentioned above, ID's take MONTHS to get, diplomas take MONTHS to get after graduation, The financial Aid department OMG so bad it's not funny, Enrollment advisers have lied to several people I know to get them to enroll, No breaks between classes, the former Cardean Administrative people I spoke with were rude especially the former Provost of Ellis College (An NYIT PHd is now the Provost), I could go on.... All these things are too much for a student to be worrying about, classes should be the focus for us NOT the admin BS.

Basically this review is mute because NYIT - Ellis Branch is no longer accepting students for their online program. And NYIT itself is now overseeing the former Ellis College of NYIT students. In the future NYIT will be doing the distance Ed thing again so this is for them!

If it's an NYIT program GO for it, if it's an ELLIS UNIVERSITY or CARDEN LEARNING GROUP (of Chicago) program RUN AWAY and save your money. Until they get their act together in the Big Office going with Ellis University/Cardean LLC will not be worth the problems you'll have AND you will save money.
