Norwich University Reviews:
Great program
September 29, 2009
I completed my Diplomacy Degree in 2005 and am just about done with the coursework for my PhD. This is a real program, not a give away by any means, it's challenging but worth every minute. You will never find professors of this caliber on any one campus; they come ...
The best one out there
September 20, 2009
I'm almost half way through this program, and I could not be happier I chose Norwich for my graduate studies. The school is definately focused, demanding, and productive. I really feel I'm getting the best education out there in this field. The instructors are of the highest caliber, and the ...

100 bucks says you can renegotiate tuition rates without financial aid. What the difference for them, they reviews say they don't respond to emails.

Great MBA program from a University with a long rich history! I am proud to be an alumni and part of the Norwich family.
The staff provides outstanding support and the Professors will push you. The Residency was a blast!
Don't waste your money on other online programs such as University of Phoenix or AIU. Norwich is considered a Tier 1 school for the Northern region.

As a recent grad looking back on the MBA program, I remember the grading standards quite low and the discussions with fellow students mind-numbing. I also thought some of the courses were on 'auto-pilot' and the virtual professor was there just to guide students through the 'wickets'. All the students are full-time 'something-else' so it's all about meeting the set standard for your 'A' or 'B'. I found very little intellectual curiosity. And as for student's backgrounds? I think some were shift supervisors at a retail store....very little insight into real business.
Is this diploma worth anything? I'd have to so 'no'. For the quick-and-dirty on-line MBA, go for Phoenix? When it comes down to it, on-line is on-line? Why pay more at Norwich?

Military History January 1, 2009 at 5:45 a.m.
I took the MA in it and it was an unsatisfying experience to say the least. The faculty are all a bunch of ex-grunts who have no concept of the "Big Picture" of warfare. All they are concerned about is single action and tactics. The cirriculum is far too short. They cram everything into 6 hour seminars that hardly cover anything. Before you know it, you are writing your CAPSTONE and you haven't learned anything someone with a moderate interest in miltiary history would know already. The only stuff I did learn was from my own research for my paper topics. I could have done that on my own and for free. Norwich is a big waste of money. Avoid it.

I'm currently a student at Norwich taking an MA in Diplomacy. In my experience, it's what you make of it.
Norwich provides the basic tools. Some of the students in my program substandard and the professors aren't exactly "engaging." But what it comes down to is you, engaging with the material independently. The school is in it to make money, but you can earn a quality degree by applying yourself positively.

I am a current student and am in awe of the credentials of my current professor. Now credentials do not make the man so I have to say the Prof. Clarke has been great at organizing the content as well as reaching out to students directly.

Norwich in no way compares to the other schools I attended. The accreditation is like comparing Major leegue to minor league and HS. I was very ill prepered to enter into the school. I dropped out of Norwich because of the amount of studying and papers you must write and the cost. After 6 weeks in Strategic Resource Management, I pulled the plug. No thanks. I needed a grad degree but not at this expense.
There are esier and less expensive schools to get an MBA from. CSU teaches the exact same subjects and doesn't reqiure one to stayed glued and scared for his life at the computer.
An MBA is an MBA. Pay and stay more at Norwich or live your life and work with CSU. The decicsion cost me some money but was well worth it to adjust mid stream.. I generally tell people if the want to study for hours each day and weekend and pay a lot of money, go to norwich. If you want flexibility and an easy going life, CSU is far better.

Expect Challenge; Achieve Distinction
This motto fits the school very well. I am presently earning my MPA at Norwich and I could not have chosen a more rigorous program to challenge myself and advance my career in the public service sector. My undergrad work was through SUNY: ESC and the programs are very similar in style in that you are given the opportunity to stretch your learning capabilities and gain the pivotal advantage of advancing yourself in a way that is very rewarding. It takes a lot of dedication and hard work. Research and writing with the guidance of credentialed instructors advanced in their fields is what you will be facing. If you want an easy keep it simple advanced educational experience you will have to go somewhere else as this program is not for the weak willed. Yes the slant is definitely military in nature for most programs (Duh! It is the USA's oldest military academy, birthplace to ROTC and engineering here in the US) but the MPA is difficult and rigorous in every aspect. I also admire the diversity of my fellow students and the knowledge that they bring with them and share.
So as the motto says..."Expect Challenge: Achieve Distinction".

I am about half way through the Masters of Public Administration degree at Norwich. I have found the course to be challenging and more importantly, thought provoking.
The students come from a diverse background. All have experience that they use enhance the discussions and exchange of ideas. I have learned much from the course, but even more from the other students. What a great mix!
The resources that Norwich provides are absolutely top shelf. From the personnal assistance that I received during my initial entry into the program, to the guidance and mentoring I received from a well-credentialed staff, to a research/resource library, I rate the whole experience as excellant.
Don't expect an easy ride. The pace is quick and the course requirements are challenging. But I can already tell that the education will be well worth price paid.

I did my research on online universities before I decided to enrol in Norwich University and I am glad I did that. Master of Public Administration program in the school is challenging; the Professors take their time to answer any questions and guide the students but the student has to prove that he or she is equal to the rigor and the discipline required to accomplish the goal.
I will not hesitate to recommend this university to any student who wants to acquire the best and ready to work for it.
