Northcentral University

I had a good experience at NCU since I am a motivated self starter. Working full time, having a family to take care of, and everything life throws at you, NCU was a good choice for me because the classes are online, program is accredited, and the cost was doable for me. The advisor that gets assigned to you are generally helpful and try to get you the information that you need. The professors (I feel) work a regular job and this is a side gig. Nothing wrong with that. Just limited contact hours and availability. Of all the professors that I had for each class, only one I thought was out to get me but I passed the class. The others were interested in the student experience and wrote some good feedback on papers turned in. The classes prepare a student in researching and writing scholarly papers so when it comes time to do your dissertation, you are well prepared. I recommend NCU to any prospective self starter student. If you expect everything to be spoon fed to you, this is not the university for you. You need to be able to download the assignment, read required resources, and research your topic areas to gain more information and write about what you have learned.

I have been extremely pleased with NCU & the coursework I have completed toward a PhD in Business Admin - Mgt. Engr & Tech. I am a past Univ. of Phoenix (not a good experience for me) DMO candidate & Univ. of La Verne DPA candidate (great but expensive program). In virtually every area (Teaching acumen, Student support, Level of intellectual exchange, Tuition costs, etc.), NCU presents the best program there is today for an On-line PhD Degree Program. I hope to complete this program by Winter '08 to Spring '09 & plan to both consult & teach with a little writing & a Fulbright Scholarship stint thrown in for good measure!
