Adler University Reviews

"Theory and practical implementation are combined in Adler's Environmental/Natural Resource Economics curriculum. Small class sizes and helpful teachers improve learning. Strong emphasis on sustainability, while additional possibilities for fieldwork would be fantastic."

"Adler University is one of the few schools with a counselling psychology program including a course on Trauma. That itself speaks to the importance and the quality of the program. Professors are excellent and although expensive- they support your education and want you to succeed. The counselling psychology program is one of the best!"

"The online program is abysmal. The teachers don’t teach the material or barely answer questions. It’s literally teaching yourself for $900 a credit hour. No phone numbers, they expect us to use email only. Worse program I’ve ever been in. Unless you want to teach yourself and be ignored, go anywhere, but here."

"Adler spares every expense on this $60,000 per year education. I do believe I will be given the materials that I need to prepare for licensure. It’s been difficult to see how Adler does not address cohorts concerns. Performative/dated social justice."

"My worst experience in Canada was at Adler University. They never recognize your efforts. You learn about injustice and discrimination while experiencing them at this university. You're wasting your time and money here under a lot of stress. Your English abilities are easily mocked here. You are not permitted to form a virtual group of classmates using WhatsApp or other apps. They have the ability to change your score at any time, even months after it has been published. You are not in a nurturing or academic setting. Teachers are not professionals and have no authority to assign final grades to students. Strongly not recommended.Read Less"

"Not recommended at all, a total waste of money and time. One instructor in the I/O program in particular is extremely unprofessional, rude and incompetent. I don't know why they keep that person as a faculty member. It's also ridiculous how this school insists in completing a social justice practicum while the students struggle to complete their assignments on time. Overall, a joke of institution."

"Public Policy and Administration of Canada campus is a hell! It is like a residential school! Really it is not a university. I am so sorry for my time and money which were wasted in this hell! It is not only my idea, it is the ideas of all my students. If you want to see racism, discrimination, system of privilege, and system of domination you can start in this field in Adler University especially Canada campus. You can experience them practically!"

"Not recommended at all. A money oriented place. Be careful of the admission and academic staff.......... Classes schedules are so bad. Very expensive for nothing at all. Not recommended at all.

"I wish I could rate zero. Please do your research before giving your money to this school. I have 2 issues, 1 is an extremely uncomfortable vibe one of the teacher gives and allows to go on when it comes to men. I have never felt so uncomfortable in all my life in a classroom setting than I have with *****. So unprofessional, and if you say anything to anyone, then they will do everything they can to sweep it under the rug and tell you to move on. Next, there is a professor that will just give you A's in class that should be taken seriously whether you do the work or not. Again if you report it, they will do everything to hide it. If you are seriously considering it, ask them why the graduation rate is so damn low.Read Less"

"PsyD Program is strong but requires a lot of self-directed motivation to be successful. Professors are helpful but sometimes overloaded with too many students. The Chicago campus is great and up to date. There are a lot of resources available but students must seek them out on their own."

"I personally enjoyed my academic journey at Adler. As a doctoral student now, I can only thank the faculty advisors and other professors at Adler for their continuous support. The curriculum was practitioner-based and overall it was a great learning experience."

"Adler University is well known for clinical training in psychology. The staff have great merit and offer great knowledge and expertiese. The school itself is a social justice school, so culture and diversity are invited, discussed and acknowledged throughout the program. This program prepared me for my professional career and helped me learn crucial counseling skills to help clients become successful in their own lives."

"Adler University offered a great online environment with a fulfilling classroom feel. Although I was not in an actual classroom, the discussions were lively and gratifying. The teachers were always available for helping and had a response rate of fewer than twenty-four hours. It appeared the program was well built and had plenty of structure to which allotted for an excellent academic ambiance. The program contained courses that enriched my mind on the military and the struggles the warriors have been facing for a long time. I felt the program is helpful for students who want to continue their education to become a psychologist or a clinical counselor. The materials taught in this program are tools that are going to open doors later on for many who complete the program. One of the most significant challenges of the online application for myself was the final capstone project, but Adler University taught me how to conqueror assignments I might have felt uneasy with at any other school. Adler University offers a high-quality academic environment. If anyone is looking for teachers who care, a vibrant learning atmosphere and a satisfying challenge than Adler University is the school for you. The Online environment at Adler University is excellent for anyone who has a busy schedule and is looking to continue their education around their agenda. I enjoyed being able to go on vacation, while still able to fully complete all of my assignments.Read Less"

"My program was online. I was able to work a full-time job while completing my degree. The instructors were very knowledgeable and responded to every question I had. The structure of the online program Adler uses is great (the app too!) I was able to pull up assignments from wherever I was. The coursework was closely tied to what I will be doing in my professional career. I feel like I will use everything I learned."

"The professors and staff at Adler are incredibly professional and helpful. They were especially understanding when it came to my military schedule interfering with some of the papers and projects that were due. The discussion generated online was always lively and added greatly to the overall experience."

"Adler University has provided me numerous opportunities to excel in both my civilian and military careers. I am eventually aiming to secure a job in the Operational Sector in order to best use the skills gained from both combat as well as the university to best of my ability. Easing the mental pains of my battle brothers."

"Adler has a connection between the individual and community. They have strong adlerian mission and core values. It is best known art therapy program by the AATA. There are small classes in a creative environment for 2 years. This program is dual degree with a focus on being socially responsible."

"The courses were challenging and required the mandated readings along with outside research which really opened the field and outcomes available which can transfer into knowledge and experiences. The professors allowed for open discussion without fear of any political or societal fallout, this allowed for in depth, open, intelligent conversation with solid research foundations and outcomes."

"Adler University in Chicago has helped me to incorporate a lens of social justice into my career goals in public policy. The coursework is challenging but very interesting and relevant to modern public issues and politics. The instructors are very well experienced in their fields, and learning often includes both historical and current event examples to help students navigate book learning into real-life application. I have a diverse educational background in anthropology, psychology and international public health, and the Masters of Public Policy program allows me to capture each of these areas in my written and roleplay assignments. In fact, all worldview lenses of the students are appreciated during the classroom discussions, and the instructors aim to create a safe and welcoming atmosphere - even during heated topic debates. For students seeking a modern education that thrives on intellectual rigor, then Adler is a top choice. In addition, the course content situates the learning materials into critical historical realism, which helps students anchor their blossoming awareness of social justice to such public domains as community health policy, which is my chosen track. I highly recommend Adler Universitys Masters of Public Policy for students wanting to gain from an education in policy that goes beyond statistics and top-down public initiatives to incorporate bottom-up community insights.Read Less"

"Alder University has been an outstanding online school. The professors are motivating and encouraging, IT support is excellent, and the university has always been responsive with questions. While the school is fast-paced (a new course every 8 weeks), it fits my schedule perfectly - allowing me to work still work full-time and be a parent to my young son. Every course has been a wealth of information that I am immediately putting to use in my current work. Overall - an excellent program and school!Read Less"
