PhD in Business Administration
August 26, 2010
Before enrolling in NCU's PHD in Business Administration, I did thorough reseach on accredited online schools, considering Colorado State University, Walden, Capella, SNHU, IndianaTECH, and many other well respected institutions. I found out that NCU offered best ROI, with tuition much lower that its competition. During my PhD core classes, I found the assignments to be rather challenging, but rewarding. My concept paper was revised several times by my Dissertation Chair, before being sent for ...
NCU is a good deal
July 9, 2010
I am a third year PhD student in Applied Computer Science at NCU and I am pleased with their program. After a college career of 6 previous degrees, the majority of them earned at traditional B&M schools (and all regionally accredited), NCU was a breath of fresh air due to the fact that it offered a PhD online.Most of the mentors I have had were very knowledgable about their subjects. I find it interesting that ...
NCU is in TURMOIL!!
April 30, 2010
This was a great school until the last year, but now is not the time to enroll in NCU. They only have a three year accreditation, which means that there are some problems to be addressed. Having said this, NCU is flailing about to rectify some of the issues, but this has created turmoil and angst at the Research Phase of the process. Policies change at the whim of the President, and which are not ...
I can not recommend NCU
February 27, 2010
I am currently registered. I like the idea (theory and concept) of NCU. I have summarized my experience over the past couple of semesters. I hope you find this review beneficial. Institution & Support: The admissions department is great! They were and continue to be upfront, well-informed, and courteous. They come across as sincere and genuinely concerned. The rest of NCU Administration is simply poor. Staff members routinely fail to return calls and emails. If ...
Not For Everyone
December 6, 2009
It's a good construct however, changes to programs while students are in progress of completing their degrees are not well orchestrated nor well communicated with students. Not much guidance is provided to students on how to successfully get through their programs. Students need to exercise/tolerate changes.

I am now in my third course in this program. My experience has been positive. The coursework has been rigorous, and the mentors, so far, have been knowledgeable, timely in providing feedback, and supportive.
Worst college I've ever attended
July 21, 2009
I was in my last course at NCU (before starting the dissertation sequence) when I received a bad instructor. I was informed by one of the Academic Advisors that most students complain about this instructor, and that her feedback, comments/expectations were rather far-fetched and irrelevant to the course. Anyhow, I submitted my first paper, only to receive one point above an F, with comments/feedback that made absolutely no sense. The instructor did not read the ...

Response to 'Worst college I've ever attended...'
I understand your feelings. I had a very bad start with the school also and felt the same way. I was about to quit but an instructor encouraged me to stay. I'm glad I did and am grateful for his encouragement. For those who have not attended NCU before, I think some prep work would be helpful (let your chair and advisor know why you want to drop someone). I'm sure this is true for many schools. The problems you describe are common for lots of schools. Things get even more difficult when all contact is primarily online. I recommend not having an instructor from overseas (if you are in North America) incase you need to call. I recommend asking an instructor if you can him or her if you are having trouble. Also call your advisor and ask for advice. Realize that all along the way there will be many obsticles. You need to make sure you can work with the teachers you get, if not drop them. If you are in a Ph. D. program, make sure you select a good chair. Your committee members need to be supportive of you. If not, drop the ones that are not helpful. If you have the right combination of people helping you, you will succeed. If not, you're in trouble. Your success requires that you have a good team working with you and that you continue to nurture team communication as you move along. You also need to make positive adjustments anytime your team changes (new chair, new members, new advisor). Ask questions and clarify requirements. Do what is requested. Keep copies of all your work and copies of your e-mails. Be prepared at all times to justify your positions. The whole process can be very trying and difficult. You may want to 'often' quit. Have people in place to remind you not to give up.

I have taken many classes at online schools and traditional schools. NCU is no better or worst then any others. For the price and freedom to do the work when you want, it can not be beat!

Are any graduates of the PhD in Business Administration teaching at ACBSP accredited colleges?

I have finished my PhD as of 9/08 and must say I enjoyed the 4.5 years of hard work. A PhD requires a tremendous amount of work and I would not expect my Chair to hold my hand along the way. I was given good support and was expected to perform to the level of a PhD and NCU held me to that and I thank them for this. I did not want to go to a school that just handed me a diploma. I wanted to earn it. NCU will work for the highly motivated student who puts forth the effort. I recommend this school to any serious student.
