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 ...
Hard Work and Exceptional Thinking

I am currently nearing completion of my PhD coursework and am thrilled with the program. It is VERY intense and a student will learn a great deal. If you are not independently motivated and looking for simple recall of information instead of synthesis, you will most likely have a tough ...

let us not exaggerate. This is not a traditional DL program as the vast majority of courses do not have or do not utilize a discussion board. The program resembles the old correspondence courses. Essentially I was on my own during the process. I would get remarks to change this ...
Not many other good options out there
April 30, 2009
I've started my 7th course in the Phd in BA with a Technology Management focus. I have two Masters (MBA and MS) from B&M. I can honestly say that I prefer NCU's format of self study, over sitting in a classroom. For one, working full time and a family, I ...

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 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.
