Aspen University

Aspen University has provided the way for me to obtain my Master's of Nursing Degree with as little disruption to my work-life as possible. Completing the classes online was beneficial for me in that it fit with my schedule and work/home life balance. The cost of the education could not be matched. It does require you to be a highly motivated learner and to be able to be self-directed. As long as you have a high work ethic, you will greatly add to your knowledge during the Master's classes and learn... Read More how to produce professional papers. I am 46 years old and have graduated with a 4.0 GPA and am very glad that I took that first step to further my education. If you are thinking about taking that first step--do, you will not regret it!

I graduated from the RN-BSN program with honors in October 2021 with a 3.97 GPA, and I am incredibly proud of this accomplishment. Honestly, the classes are time-consuming and challenging. However, nursing is a formidable career that requires discipline. Hence, I was prepared to work when I entered the program. Our patients deserve well-educated nurses equipped with the knowledge to care for them appropriately. Aspen University provides nurses with an excellent education to accomplish this goal.... Read More Therefore, Aspen is a great path if you want to enhance your practice and become a better nurse. However, if you're looking for an easy way to put a title behind your name, you may consider a different school. Some things were straightforward about the program. Navigating the courses was simple. Technical support is always available. The instructors were precise in the expectations in their posts. The key to success is reading the instructions and following them to the letter carefully. There are also videos with specific instructions on each week's modules that you must listen to if you want an A. If you read them, they also provide you with resources that you can reference in each paper. They give you all the tools you need to do well if you want to put the work in for your success.

Thanks, Aspen University for allowing me to complete my BSN! It is a great program for adult learners able to maintain self-direction and discipline in their academic studies! I have previous online college experience and would never want to sit in a classroom again! Your professors were really encouraging and assisted in coaching my starting writing ability also with the added bonus of teaching how to do power points and recorded presentations as weekly assignments. I am sure these skills will come... Read More in handy in the future!

Not all schools are perfect and you choose the school that best fits your needs. The BSN program was pretty straightforward and the best thing I learned was how to write a kick butt APA paper! The monthly payments are affordable and made this within reach. There were a few glitches- one teacher was wildly picky and too harsh. One didn’t even read my papers. But there will always be outliers. In all, for the cost, the convenience was very good, I felt like it suit my needs. It’s a legit school. I... Read More would recommend Aspen.

As an international student, I graduated with an Associate Degree in Nursing in 2006 and had not been actively involved in any further studies because I was always fearful of not being able to study online due to lacking computer skills and time management and financially not being able to afford payments. Researching schools in the later part of 2019, I came across Aspen University and was satisfied with its accreditation and affordable fee. With an entry GPA of 2.62, I knew that I was now more... Read More focused on my profession since I graduated from nursing school almost 12 years before wanting to achieve my BSN. The facility believed in me despite my entry GPA and in January 2020 I began my journey which took me 18 months to complete the RN- BSN program with a completed GPA of 4.0. Yes!!!! I know this was a big improvement with my grades and I am so proud of what I have accomplished. Devoting time to my assignments and having the support of the staff at the university all made it possible. Although there was only one professor who responded to emails more than 48 hours, most did reply within 24 hours and my academic advisors would call just to find out how I am doing and whether I needed assistance. The course material provided every 8 weeks was manageable despite having to work 12 hours shift, and the monthly payment was indeed affordable. Although everyone's experience will not be the same as mine, I would recommend this University to anyone. I am looking to begin my Masters in Health Administration and Management come January 2022 with the hope that I receive the continued support and level of professionalism during my BSN program. If you are willing to put in the time then undoubtedly you will succeed in anything you want to achieve. Thanks to Aspen University for allowing me one step closer to achieving my professional goal. If I was able to make it though then anyone reading this review can do it just the same. I am 37 years old and I am a proud product of Aspen.

This school does not hand hold and spoon feed. If you are looking for a school to do that for you then do not choose Aspen. It is mostly papers and discussion boards. The benefit of that is you focus your papers to the research and time you put into it. If you have weak writing skills or lack motivation to learn based on your self-initiative and need an instructor to do of for you, then you should seek a more structured program that is face to face. Online learning just can't do that for you. Aspen... Read More is affordable, with 8-week semesters for quick in and out. I've worked hard, but have learned a lot in a short period of time.

The biggest concern I have is the final exam. The platform when writing was not working appropriately. Into my third paragraph the formatting was off. It showed and extra letter that was not there and so when you tried to correct spelling the cursor was never in the right spot. It took me about 45 minutes during the allotted 4 hrs to figure out how to correct things. The formatting never was correct again. I literally cried at how frustrating it was. There was no way to change any of my thoughts... Read More or change my direction because I risked it never being correct. It was actually awful. It should be allowed to write in Microsoft Word and then copy/pasted over into the platform. I was very discouraged. Otherwise my classes were just fine. Some instructors took more time to review papers and give feedback, while other simply posted a grade and it didn’t look like they had ever looked at a word. As you can imagine, it was more beneficial to receive the feedback to grow and get better on each paper. Thanks for the studies.

My study of choice was Psychology and Addiction Counseling. Although, I already had a Psychology degree Aspen gave me the opportunity to challenge myself in the study of Addiction Counseling. I was very impressed with the online format, my professors/Instructors, and the amazing academic counselor as well as other staff I was assisted by. I always received quick responses to my questions via phone as well as email. The selection of text books required were extremely useful in my field of study. I... Read More was able to work full-time in the field of education which in itself was quite challenging while attending Aspen University as a full-time student. It takes quite a commitment but I can promise you nothing worth having is easy. You will get what you put into your studies. I am glad to say that I excelled in my studies and graduated with a GPA which represents my commitment to my education. I highly recommend Aspen University!

Aspen was a breath of fresh air. I originally started at a local college and my employer would have paid 100% of the RN to BSN program. Once I started, I found it was not adult learner oriented. So, after some research I found Aspen. It is out of my own pocket, but it has been adult learner oriented. Having a busy work and home life, I was still able to get my Aspen work done every time. The interest free payment plan has also very appreciated. Aspen is about $11,000 versus nearly $30,000 like some... Read More other schools for the RN to BSN program. Couldn't be happier!!!! Thank you Aspen!

What a joke! This isn't a real school. You want the same level of "education"? Go to Amazon, buy some text books on the subject you want to learn about, skim the book and write a paper on the highlights. There you have as Aspen "education" to have a true Aspen experience don't open half of the books you purchased, because the syllabus and required texts aren't actually something your "professor" will know about. Also if you have any issues, questions, or concerns be confident in the fact that nobody... Read More at Aspen will respond to you or will actually care. As long as you made payment that is all they care about.
