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."

"The quality of instruction was good. The office handling online instruction regularly provided misinformation, especially about pricing. It is what one might expect at a used car lot. I was encouraged to enroll in classes far in advance of a term beginning and had difficulty with cancellations, schedule changes and accounting. The school did not allow use of their own greivance procedure to resolve disputes. I was clearly a customer, not a student."

"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."

"I am highly disappointed with the MSW online program at Campbellsville. I transferred in from another university, and Campbellsville's work load is 4 times as much with much stricter grading. It is nearly impossible to complete with an existing career or family which is the whole purpose of online schools. The professors do not create their own curriculum, but it is already decided for them. Because of this, the professors are not teaching (no videos or instruction) but are simply there to grade our assignments which we must figure out on our own. Also because of this, the professors do not have the knowledge of the course content to answer questions properly or to make adjustments if the assignments are not realistic. For example, we are told that we will lose points if we go over the word count for weekly posts, yet after the assignments we receive comments such as "you should have written more about..." It is impossible to write more about the topic since it is already a struggle to stay in the word count requirements. I do not think the professors realize that it is impossible to answer the questions within only 250-50 words. This program does not involve any teaching, but we are expected to learn on our own in order to complete the assignments. My classmates have shared similar experiences, as most students I spoke to wished that they would have chosen a different school. Many students have shared that they are not passing classes (a C is unacceptable in this program) and have to retake several. I regret going to Campbellsville, and I feel like I have nobody to talk to since there is no support."
