Aspen University Reviews of Bachelor's in Nursing

I chose the Aspen program for two reasons: affordability, and on recommendation from many of my co-workers, who are completing BSN and MSN level degrees. I was very surprised at the high quality of of the educational material and instruction that I received. This was not an easy task, the work load can be intense, but nothing in life worth working for should just be handed to you...and this was definitely work...and definitely worth the time and investment. I looked at other online universities for... Read More a few years but was always dismayed by the bankrupting tuition and fees they wanted to charge for basically being diploma mills, this is not the case with Aspen University. I never encountered any issues with contacting my instructors or academic advisors, and cannot sing their praises highly enough! To graduate with a 4.0 in this program kicked my butt, and I am all the better for it!

So much busy work! The length and amount of formal papers and discussions in 8 weeks far outweighs the amount in a 5 week course from comparable online programs. Twice the amount of time and work! After writing all 8 formal papers, be prepared for ANOTHER formal 1000 word essay summarizing the course! My advisor was extremely defensive when I had a concern about an instructor that gave me a poor grade after not answering my question prior to submitting the assignment. The writing class was much more... Read More beneficial than I expected, and the professor was amazing. Be ready to put in A LOT of time! The payment plan and cost are a bonus!

I have been enrolled at Aspen University from FEB 2015 and will graduate Summer 2017 with a BSN. I could not be more pleased with every aspect of my nursing program. It is hard work. You must be intelligent, motivated, and a self-starter to experience the benefit of a well-rounded educational experience. On-line learning is much more challenging than the classroom setting. If you are not willing to put in at least 20 hours per week, per course, then don't waste your time or money. The work is rigorous....

I recommend Aspen University to all my colleagues....do not expect the program to be a cake-walk; it is NOT! I have a 4.0 GPA, and I have worked for it. I am a high achiever, and I chose Aspen over many different educational venues. I do not regret my choice!
