Predatory, misleading and incompetent. Admissions staff will repeatedly call and email you to get you to enroll without fully reviewing relevant policies and agreements. Once they have received their payment (FASFA, G.I. Bill, Military TA), you are on your own. Will not return emails or calls. Instruction is also a solo endeavor. No books = government websites, YouTube, and additional non-scholarly sources mainly copied from public institutions. School is not familiar with own policies, continued... Read More

Please beware of this institution!! Do not waste your time or money attending this school! They are unorganized and highly unprofessional. They are only after money and they don't care about the wellbeing of their students at all. They are horrible at communicating with you. They are also unaware of their own polices, and they dont adhere to their policies!! The dean who is over the College of Business is rude and unprofessional! She is nasty.. when it comes to giving accurate information, the staff... Read More

I received my Ph.D. in Education Leadership in 2017. I graduated at the top of my class. I loved the program it was extremely challenging; however, I always had the support of my professors and dissertation chair. Dr. W.L. was the chair of my committee. She encouraged me throughout the entire dissertation process. Completing my Ph.D. was the happiest day of my life! I would recommend the program to anyone who is interested in educational leadership; be prepared to work hard. After completing the... Read More

This online program is not for the faint of heart. I will be graduating in July of 2018 and cannot wait to be done. The courses were challenging and if you really put your mind to it, you can graduate in 2 1/2 years like I will. The courses are all papers with the exception of some lower courses that have quizzes with 15 or 30 questions multiple choice. The only frustrating thing about the amount of course work they give you as an undergraduate student, is the fact that most of the masters courses... Read More

I did a lot of research prior to selecting Trident. Additionally, I talked with an individual who obtained his BS and MS from Trident. You need a lot of self-discipline to attend "ANY" online school. If you don't have that, then don't attend because you will fail. Two years and seven months later I graduated with my BS in Leadership. This accomplishment was the last item on my bucket list so I had a lot of determination. The school was great, the professors were great, I had no major issues. The... Read More

I can only assumes that those who are providing poor review are the ones who think the classes are easy but still cannot pass that class. Trident is easy if you stay focused and do your due diligence. The quality of education provided cannot be compared to regular onsite University and top universities like TAMU and UTA in Texas. This class and courses are specially designed to those people who have busy schedule and would like to study during free time. I am not a very big fan of online class but... Read More

Great school!!!! I loved the flexibility and how the professors continuously challenged me with the curriculum . Everyone from the student advisor Stephanie who stayed with me throughout my entire degree to each professor had the highest level of professionalism and was prompt with responding back. I have been in the military for over 20 years and this was a great way to have flexibility and earn my degree. I can't say enough great things about my experience with TUI and how this has help make me... Read More

Valuable instruction, challenging professors and course work, and always with a focus on preparing me to succeed. I felt fully prepared to hit the ground running leading up to graduation. Also had excellent support from all TUI support staff and administration. I would highly recommend TUI!!

Excellent MBA program. You must be self-motivated, but the classes are interesting and the interaction with other students and the professors are certainly valuable. While TUI isn't a top tier, highly recognized school, I feel that the program has certainly been worth the time and effort to complete!

After receiving my BSCS from Trident, I decided to continue on for a MSITM. The level of effort required didn't change from BS to MS. The courses were 12 weeks long, with each course being broken up between 5 modules (expected to take 2 weeks each). Each module has a "Case" assignment (2-3 page paper), a "Session Long Project" (4-5 page paper), and a "Threaded Discussion" (a couple sentence blog post). I would describe the level of effort required to pass each course as minimal to marginal. There... Read More

This college is OK if your a person who loves to write. You don't really get much from writing paper after paper after paper. The problems that I have had is the links supplied sometimes do not exist. The books needed aren't in the library, and good luck with getting in touch with the librarian. She don't respond to emails. The technical classes are nothing but writing papers. As a matter of fact, all the classes are nothing but writing papers. I would recommend looking around first before choosing... Read More

I sought an MBA and found Trident's MSL program to be more appropriate to my career direction. I do not need all the accounting that comes with an MBA and MSL is all about being a leader. In addition Trident is Military Friendly which I knew their programs would work with my extremely busy and taxing schedule as an adult student. Lastly, I compared their learning model to several other online schools and for a masters student this is simply the best one out there. Oh yes, did I mention price. Awesome.... Read More

I completed by BSBA with Trident University and I am a current MBA student. I have thoroughly enjoyed my classes, I have become a more proficient academic writer, and I have been able to obtain my degrees without having to go to a traditional classroom (which I much prefer). Despite what some of the other reviews state, I have never experienced anything but professionalism and ease in dealing with the FA department, and I have always had professors who were diligent in replying to any emails I sent...

This school is a joke and a waste of time. The "materials" provided are outdated websites that are irrelevant to the course. (There are not any books despite what the enrollment adviser stated). I submitted my assignments according to the syllabus and professor requirements, but still found myself receiving poor grades for not following the instructions. When I would email the professors they would either fail to respond or send a screen shot of the syllabus (that I had originally followed). The... Read More

Trident University International is the most educational online institution. Everything about the school works for the military student. WARNING!!!!!No books, but that doesn't make it easy. It means you must obtain your own research materials. No tests, tests are replaced by 10 research papers and 5 online discussion threads which the student must participate in, per course. Quite frankly, researching and articulating theories have resulted in deeper learning and understanding for me than just memorizing.... Read More

For those that have full time jobs and can't do the traditional classroom learning, this is your program. Rigorous learning for the adult student. I learned and retained more than when I was attending traditional schools. Lots of commentary on here claims a negative experience. If you are disciplined this program will work for you!!

This "University" and I use the term loosely is a both a joke and a waste of time. They claim to give you all the materials required for the course you are taking. What they fail to mention is that the materials provided include wikipedia links and youtube videos, Non of which are considered academic references or resources to another accredited University or College. During my 6 week course I emailed my "professor" a total of 3 times and she responded a total of 0 times. She only had 2 jobs to grade... Read More

I attended Trident after years of regretting not completing my undergrad. I'd all but given up figuring that at 41 and already well engaged in my career that perhaps it wasn't necessary to complete my degree anymore, this all came crashing down when I was given a promotion at work on the condition that I obtain a certification which required a degree within 2 years.

A very excellent choice of university which has impacted and influenced my life tremendously. It definitely helped me to understand my dynamic purpose which was fulfilled with persistence in pursuit of a worthy goal of receiving my MBA.. I originally set out to complete my degree with the University of Maryland; due to rigorous demands of my job and attending night courses, I decided to give Trident University a try. It is one of the best decisions I could have ever made!

I was a transfer graduate student. When I was in the process of transferring to this university I was told by two admissions counselors that both of my graduate classes would be accepted by Trident. This was a lie. Both counselors told me what I wanted to hear so that I would choose Trident. I used Trident's complaint resolution system to no avail. I spoke to many people up to and including the vice president of admissions and all I received was excuses so what I was promised never happened. I will... Read More
