Review:

I shopped around at several major brick and mortar universities and all of them would have forced me to quit my job and become a full time student with nearly no income to support my family.  I then looked at the various on-line universities, and found several of them to be very attractive, but none of them offered the accreditation and value that NCU offered.  

As a retiremed military veteran, NCU offered an excellent tuition rate, and once I began my DBA program, discovered that the education process was significantly better than my expectations.  I have taken a few computer based course offered by the Government, and nearly all of them left a lot to be desired, which I feared would also be the case at NCU or any other on-line university.  

I was pleasantly surprised at the smooth function of NCU's online system, the positive feedback from instructors for work submitted, and the vibrant forums to communicate with instructors and other students at NCU.  

I already feel more connected with my classmates at NCU than I did at any of the more traditional universities I have attended, as I am conversing with students from all areas of specialization and not just my immediate classmates.  I have had in depth discussions with fellow student in Psychology, Education and other Business specializations, which never would have occured in my previous education programs.

I heartily recommend NCU as a choice for pursuing a graduate program.  One word of advice, it is not an easy program either, as you will spend a significant amount of time on each class.  It is possible to move quickly through the program, but it will demand much of your time and efforts to do so.  

I have only had one off weekend in last six months, and I do not expect many more for the remainder of my program.  It is a price I am willing to pay, but that may not be so in your case.  If not, then look elsewhere for your program, as this one will demand such an effort.
