"A lot of the staff are professional but the administration has so many issues. The food is horrible, the living space is horrible and nobody answers emails around here. I’ve had actual mold in my food, uncooked food that’s made me very sick, food that’s been left out. The bathrooms are barely cleaned each week, the Dean doesn’t answer her emails and neither does residence life."

"BPU was a great school for someone looking to succeed in their career. This school has prepared me to look at the world in a different perspective as well as help build me up as a leader. The faculty was very involved in helping students succeed as well. The campus was small which made it easy to find your way around and provide a close knit community for students. There were plenty of events going on and opportunities for involvement were readily available."

"MS in Special education - I had been teaching for 9 yrs and already a licensed (initial cert) middle and high school teacher with bachelors+ . I enrolled to get a masters degree and a sped cert. I was willing to pay the very expensive tuition because I was told that this program would do that, by the grad school director and program director. After completing 3 classes (with A in each) I learned that this program is NOT for licensed teachers. I tried multiple times to get an appt with the program director and/or with my advisor . I left phone messages and emailed. Neither responded to that request and each told me to contact the other. I spent just under $4,000 and cannot even transfer credits to another grad program at a different school because the courses were so specific. Stay away from Bay Path! I was mis-led and am left in a real bind."

"The class size was very small which created a friendly and familial atmosphere. The professors was able to know you on a personal level and providing additional support as needed. Professors were very accessible and responded to emails in a timely manner. I had sent emails to two professors in late in the night and by 5 a.m. the following morning both professors responded. My classes span for 12 weeks but we only met in person for 9 times and the other times included online assignments. This made it easier for commuters like myself especially when it snows. Another great thing my school offers is the study session for the counselor exam that the school pays for and students only pay to purchase the study materials. The study session lasts for an entire day."

"The MBA program at Bay Path offers a lot of flexibility for working students. Every class is offered online or on campus. I have found the campus services to be great, and the program course design very effective. I have been able to use skills learned in class at my current job. I look forward to what the next year of coursework brings."

"I truly believe that I found myself in college, during both undergrad and grad. I think I did a good job of finding out what was right for me and going after it. I think if I would've gone to a different school, my experience wouldn't have been as amazing as it was."

"I am enrolled in the Master's degree online. It is a wonderful program that allows me to work at my own pace and balance a full time job on top of the schooling. Bay Path has helped me to push myself to succeed. I enjoy the flexibility and the way that the materials are presented, it is all very organized."

"Bay Path University was a great place to study - though I preferred the Saturday one-day program to the traditional track. It is expensive, so this option allowed me to work full time and attend school all day on Saturday. I had no problem entering the workforce immediately upon graduation. It was overall a great experience. I would like to see more scholarship opportunities for students, as many are the first in their family to attend college."

"In my first three classes I have learned that philanthropy is more than just giving. This is a great program for people that are looking to expand on their philanthropic career. I highly recommend this program to everyone. The teachers and courses are easy to understand and work with."

  • Degree: Communications
"I am currently attending Bay Path University and taking online courses towards a Masters Degree in Communications. I have taken four classes so far and still have a ways to go. The faculty is excellent and the program is challenging and very informative. Some students may be wary of online classes but the way we interact with each other online and the way the teachers interact with us as well is almost like we are in a classroom. Professors are generally always available for questions either by phone or email and get back to you in a very reasonable amount of time. I could not be happier with the decision I have made to attend Bay Path. I would highly recommend this school and this program, especially for working adults or students who do not do well in a classroom setting (like myself)."

"I had a lot of interviews for different Physician Assistant programs but this was by far the most warm and welcoming. The atmosphere of the students and staff were very inviting and they truly just wanted you to be yourself. I would definitely recommend if you are looking for a PA program."

"This program is very unique with being able to balance work, family and education. If you are a licensed PTA or COTA looking to advance your career this is a great opportunity. This program allowed me to work full time during school to help support my family and gave me the opportunity to gain experience to help me further my education."

"I have been reviewing Occupational Therapy Bridge programs for about ten years. As a working adult I have found many of the programs to rigid to provide flexibility for the returning adult learner. I received a brochure in the mail from Bay Path University providing information on their new accredited OTA-MOT Bridge program. I went to their open house and found the atmosphere to be so welcoming and accommodating. The schedule is structured for the working adult and provides flexibility with many hybrid courses offered. The staff are extremely approachable as many do not realize this importance for a returning adult learner. Bay Path has provided me with opportunities I have not found anywhere."

"When I originally received the advertisement regarding the new occupational therapy bridge program I was intrigued. The program was directed towards helping returning adults pursue their vocational aspirations. I immediately felt a sincere warm and welcoming message and planned on attending the open house. The welcoming gestures continued throughout the open house, the admissions interview and continues through my course instructions with my professors. For anyone seeking a return to college life, Bay Path University in Massachusetts offers guidance and a smooth transition."

"My experience at Bay Path University has changed my life in many positive ways. I now have the tools and self discipline to achieve my lifelong dream of becoming a writer who makes a difference in the world. I'm still finishing the program and will graduate next May. I struggled with the online MFA program at first because of lifelong ADHD and poor balancing and time management issues. But my instructors in the program helped me overcome these problems even after my dad passed away suddenly and I continued to work at a demanding job. I am not only a better writer but a better person overall. I finally have the tools to persue my lifelong dream."

"I have not yet taken classes and will begin in October, but what I have learned from others who have attended here it is a great school. All the professor want to see you succeed. The application process was very easy and the admissions took great care to help me with the process. So far I am liking the school and the people who work there. I look forward to begin my Master's program here in the fall!"

"Bay Path College provided small class sizes so it was easy to stay engaged in classes and have a more personal relationship with professors. The fact that BPC is an all women's college helped me to concentrate on my education and study hard. I felt really supported when I was there by the faculty. BPC gave me the education and experience I needed to prepare for a job."

"BPU focused a lot on grooming students to succeed in fieldwork. There are courses related to research and advocacy but they don't take into consideration the career path of the student. The program wants all students to graduate as general practitioners but don't allow options for tracks to specialize. I also want to say that when I toured and met with admissions there were a lot of promises made and policies that, when I attended, turned out to be either the complete opposite or never implemented. I received a decent education but would choose a different school, knowing what I know now."
