CTU Experience |
| MBA - Accounting |
| I had been in the workplace for about 12 years before enrolling at CTU, and
was already a COO of the company I worked for. I went back to get my MBA
because we just had my second child, and I wanted to be sure that my resume
was solid in case I ever needed to look for another job.
With that background, I felt that the courses were not very difficult,
however, they did require a significant amount of time. I spent on average
10-20 hours a week on the projects. Like anything, if you don't put the
time in, you will not achieve the desired results. |

CTU Online - Attempt to collect a nonexistent debt |
| Software Engineering - B.S. |
| In 2006 I attended CTU Online, seeking a B.S. in software engineering. In
November of that year I was academically dismissed due to poor progress. A
tuition debt was incurred by my dismissal, which I paid in full in early
2007. When I later applied to another university in my hometown, CTU
Online released my transcripts to that university.
In May of this year I was contacted by a collection agency that identified
itself as calling on behalf of CTU Online. It said it was trying to
collect a debt of approximately five thousand dollars that I allegedly owed
to CTU. Not having attended CTU...Read Full Review |

Overall Experience |
| Bachelor of Science - Concentration in Project Management |
| I will be graduating soon from CTU. I started out in regular brick and
mortar school at major university. Later, online school became a necessity
due to work schedule. CTU has been great. All colleges, regardless of
whether they are online are not, are what you make of them. You get out of
it what you put into it. I have chosen to study hard and get the most out
of my education and would put what I have learned from CTU up against any
other. I have seen some of the negative comments and would simply state
that I have had no problems. In fact, I have had to reduce my class load
on several o...Read Full Review |

VETS beware |
| Program Managment |
| While the online classes are ok, vice the group projects that would be
better if the professors took the time to only makeup groups with active
students. My issue is with University itself. They auto enroll you in a
track of classes so they can the most money out of your GI bill benefits. I
called the university and told them that I did not want to take as many
classes as they had me enrolled for and they told me that I had to call
every semester to drop them. The problem with this was that CTU would
receive a payment from my GI bill for all of the classes that I was
enrolled in thus getti...Read Full Review |

Colorado technical university on line The worst educational experience of my life |
| IT |
| Wow so many bad things to say about my experience at CTU. I realized after
six months of attending CTU on-line that is a scam. These people should be
ashamed of themselves for wasting tax payer money. I have found a newspaper
article that anyone planning on attending any of these ridiculous on-line
schools like CTU, ITT Tech, Westwood College or university of Phoenix,
ECT... should read. It is titled In Hard Times Lured into Trade School and
Debt. By: Peter S. Goodman. The New York Times, March 15, 2010. This
article explains exactly what these types of phony schools are up to.

Not so good |
| BSS |
| If you intend to get your transcripts to attend other colleges expect to
get the cold shoulder. They haven't answered mine or my colleges calls. Not
surprising since they couldn't charge the money to the right person or
program. Military beware. |

Disappointed |
| Business Management |
| CTU Online is not the first college I have attended and will not be my
last. Yes, I am moving on. I was not impressed with the curriculum at all.
Often times it was vague, had typos, and contained numerous spelling
errors. After submitting an email to the instructor requesting
clarification of the assignments, often it would take several days to get a
response. Half of the instructors I had lacked professionalism, to say the
least. My ENG115 instructor spoke street slang most the time during live
chat sessions and would close the class session with "Love, Peace, and Hair
Grease". He didn't kno...Read Full Review |

Pretty good |
| Information Technology |
| CTU is awesome, challenging, and even less expensive then most online
schools. I've tried 1 other (the most popular one) and found it to be far
more expensive and the course work was designed for people in the field of
study. I switched to CTU because I needed to learn IT from the ground up.
Nice thing about CTU is that it is a B&R school with an online degree
program. And for all those who complain about "for profit"? What school
isn't. The fact is, this school is dedicated to providing an online
education, not their sports team. |

Excellent school |
| Masters in Human Resource Management |
| CTU Online is an excellent school, but you must watch out because it is
very fast-paced. I recently my Master's in November 2008. I have had
excellent professors, and the campus has a lot of support (library,
learning labs, etc.). Don't take my word for it - my husband is an
undergrad at CTU Online at age 52. He will earn his Associate's in November
and (financial aid willing) hopes to complete his BSBA in February 2010.
If you go into this school thinking you can skip the live chats, you will
not do well - often the professors change the requirements in the course
syllabus and offer addit...Read Full Review |

Great School....excellent program |
| MBA - IT Management |
| I am a current student of their MBA program with a focus on IT Management.
I have been in the IT industry for 20 years and have run several lines of
business for the various companies I have worked for at the director level.
I am currently a director, and do make a substantial income. I did my
research, and am concerned about credit transfers. Especially, since I am
planning for a PhD in the future. I went to UT Austin for my undergraduate
BS Comp Sci, and I can tell you that the quality of education between CTU
and UT is similar. On campus vs. off campus are apples and oranges though.

Good Online Education |
| Bachelors in Business |
| Over a period of two years, I completed my Bachelors in Business
Administration in Management with CTU Online. Previously, I had finished
most of my Freshman and Sophomore level classes. While completing the upper
level courses, I took some CLEP and Dante exams to make up the difference
for some remaining lower level classes not yet completed.
Because I had to travel routinely for work, this was one of the few options
available to me. While I appreciate the avenue for completing college this
way, it was not cheap, nor was it easy. In addition to attending online
lectures, I invested about 2...Read Full Review |
