Campbellsville University Reviews

"Sadly, I am highly disappointed with the MSW online program at Campbellsville. Campbellsville's work load is 4-5x times as much with much stricter grading, and no room for error. This program is discouraging and would not recommend it for anyone working a demanding family. The classes are impossible to complete with an existing career and having a 3 hour time difference applies even more pressure. It’s defeating when you have spent years working towards a goal and have been successful in all of your classes, and then transfer from a university to attend this online school to fail. This program Should be customized to fit those wanting to pursue a higher education that have families and a full-time job, which is the whole purpose of online schools. Most of all the professors are not supportive And when you are having any technical issues, they tell you to contact IT but don’t help with any contact information or attempt to do their best to work with you. Especially, when there’s an error on their end. do not create their own curriculum, but it is already decided for them. The professors thus far Appear to be very knowledgeable in their field, but do not support students or help encourage them. The feedback on assignments is a joke with no examples unless you look it up yourself… the assignments are not realistic. This program does not involve any teaching, but we are expected to learn on our own in order to complete the assignments. I would like to know how many students are passing classes (a C is unacceptable in this program) and how many have to retake them. This would show how successful this program actually is and what can be done Differently. I am starting to regret attending this University. I love social work and have Sacrifice and dedicated years to get to where I am and then to be discouraged in the middle of a program is Defeating.Read Less"

"The tuition is expensive and the majority of professors are adjunct. They post the standardized coursework and grade your assignments. That is all. They may reply to an email with a few words, but they are not concerned about your success. The campus staff also works from home much of the time and there is a voicemail for many campus numbers that says, "We are experiencing high call volume at this time. yada yada yada." You can not get in touch with anyone and there is no organization. I pay every month and then someone not from the business office calls me and tells me I have a large outstanding balance that needs to be taken care of. The administration is a mess. Classes are a mess. I DO NOT recommend this school.Read Less"

"This school offers a wonderful support system. From school enrollment to academic advisement to instruction, every staff member and/or professor becomes personally engaged and genuinely wants to help students succeed. Classes are clear and rigorous. For the degree I am pursuing, a practicum occurs alongside courses which allows immediate practical application of learned skills and ideologies."

"A pro is that the faculty are there to answer any questions that you may have. The classes are small so you get the attention that is needed. A con is that the graduate program is expensive and you pay for you license on your own. Another con is there are multiple books per class."

"Campbellsville University's Carver School of Social Work and Counseling is an excellent program in the empowerment approach to social work practice. This program is geared toward generalist practice prepares students for professional service in a variety of social work areas. Field practicum placement comes a bit late in the year for January start students."
