Going well.
January 18, 2012
I read alot of the bad reviews, yet I don't find that I have this experience. Yes the work is hard. I appreciate the different types of assignments to turn in. They are not all papers and they do relate to actual experience. I am on my 5th class and this is my half-way point. I am sad to read about the negative experiences, however mine has been positive.

Some Mentors Great Others not so much.....
May 30, 2011
This is my 4th class at NCU. The mentors I had prior to this class were fabulous. Although one was a little too critical, they provided feedback above and beyond what I expected. The feedback was insightful, thought provoking, and very helpful. Unfortunately, like anything else, some do no respond in a timely manner and when they do their feedback is entirely format-based. Hopefully, there will be more positive experiences in store. I must add ...

Stay Away
April 21, 2011
Since Rockbridge bought the school a couple of years ago, the school has been in a steady decline. Policies were being implemented constantly, with no warning, and no grandfathering. Tuition went way up, and support for students went way down. The program is fine until you begin the dissertation process, where it becomes a nightmare. There is NO support, NO proper feedback, NO proper mentoring. The professors play the "resubmit" game endlessly, causing students to ...

Mixed, and Getting Worse
April 19, 2011
I LOVED this school when I started the PhD program. I used to be its biggest ambassador- I told everyone about how great it was. I'd done brick/mortar grad programs for several years, but left after my children were born and needed something more flexible. NCU's PhD program seemed to be just the ticket. And for quite awhile, it was. My classes were overall rather good. Mentors varied, but so do instructors anywhere. Mostly they ...

Course content good and challenging; administration and Dean TERRIBLE
April 8, 2011
The materials and curriculm are challenging, and in-line with many brick and mortar institutions. The administration and money grabbing are problematic,however. In my case, I completed half of the PhD level courses and took a leave lasting only a few months consequent to the death of my mother, and another family member. I was then informed that I would have to commence the new program due to my absence and that I was required to ...

RUN BABY RUN
February 17, 2011
This school is terrible! It is a lot of busy work and no real content. As soon as I signed up, tuition increased by $300. Although it is suppose to be a flexible schedule, it is really too much to complete before the time is up. They simply throw the workbook at you and you have to try to do it on your own.Financial aid is a mess as they force you to sign up ...

Get your education elsewhere
February 16, 2011
Very difficult to get in contact with advisors. Not much accountability between advisors and accounting. Too much finger pointing. In general just not very focused on problem solving. The classes don't seem to mesh with traditional schools, and several mandatory non-essential classes that no other school would give transfer credit for. I have had a few good instructors, but most of them treat class like a paper mill. All we do is write papers, and ...

This is the university of the Keystone Cops. I had to phone, threaten, and write each step of the way to get enrolled. The financial aid was at its absolute best, incompetent. 

They saddled me with an instructor who had lost his license in Canada and was working for a non profit in Australia. He either posted comments to the wrong students or just did not understand the subject. I left.

I did what I needed to do to get into an APA accredited school. I have now graduated and just passed my license exam. The effort to compete in a "real" school and to have a degree that is accepted in all states, will always be accepted in all state, and is recognized world wide was worth every second. I look back now and realize that getting as far away from this school was the best move I could make. I now have a complete classical education and am confident that I have what it takes to continue to grow as a psychologist--anywhere I want.

The school has awarded some 15 degrees. None of them have been licensed, anywhere. The sad part is that most of these degrees are in CA and AZ where it is more difficult to get a drivers license than be licensed as a psychologist. 

The place is a not for profit, but is owned by Rockbridge Venture Capital. Cozy little nest for con artists and non achievers.

I checked the NCU dissertation site, and 15 people have completed dissertations, and graduated with PhDs in the psychology program since June 2008.
