Colorado Technical University - Online Reviews of Bachelor's in Business

Getting a degree was one of the best things I've ever done for my career, so even with the massive debt I'm happy to have stuck with it. Colorado Technical Unversity Online was an option that worked well for me due to the travel demands from my job. However, since I was already managing call centers domestically and internationally, I had some unique insights into the operations of running a business. As a result, I'd give feedback after each course asking for more real life examples in the curriculum.... Read More This way students can understand more about the practical application of their learning, especially for those that had no frame of reference on the topic. Some instructors were excellent at this and some had gaps. Overall, the college was very engaged with the students before, during and after each course. Even though I was a virtual learner I felt connected. If tuition wasn't so expense I'd definitely pursue my Masters....maybe in the future.

Had I been made aware at the onset that CTU was going to incorporate a computer based learning program that was in it's experimental stages, I would have chosen another school. This software, "intellipath" is a horrid program that has so many flaws, I am seeking another school. Other than that, I enjoyed this school and it's method of teaching. I found no support from my Student Success Coach, "Joseph Kondras", and actually found him to be adversarial. Maybe after a few years they might have the... Read More bugs worked out, till then I would not recommend this learning institution.

CTU "A place where students come first" this could be the furthest thing from the truth. I have been attending this school for about two years now, the only reason why I am continuing is because my credits won't transfer elsewhere. All this school system seems to care about is when they will get your money. Never once have I had a instructor actually check in as to how I am doing or if I have any questions. The only phone calls or emails I get is that I have a payment due or a payment that will be... Read More due soon. I do no recommend this school to anyone looking for a good experience or looking to get any positive feedback from any of the faculty. Every time I call technical services I get some rude man or women who only seems like they want to leave. I refuse to call anymore because of the attitudes I receive on the other end of the phone.

So, after looking over all of these reviews, it has made me somewhat upset. I started going to CTU because I had a lot of my military friends tell me how great it is. I, myself, can say that it is a school that you will get what you put into it. First, I would like to start with the schedule. I believe that CTU has one of the best schedules out there. Being in the military, and now working for the Department of Veterans Affairs, I do not have a lot of time to partake in getting my education. I have... Read More made it a point to sit down throughout the week and on certain days I am not to be bothered so I can do school work. People always come to me and ask me how I do the schoolwork while I work full time, have a wife and 2 kids, and I am a fulltime student. It is easy, really, it is called dedication. Here is the thing, there are people out there that will bitch and moan over anything. If you do your research on any school and the schedules you will be attempting to follow, you will be sadly dissapointed going somewhere else. Last of all, if you do not like what one of the professors teaches or the way they grade, you can always appeal it with the school board. Do not be afraid to do so, it is every students given right. Last of all, I went to a brick and mortar school. It was god awful dealing with 18-22 year old kids, especially right after I got back from serving over seas on 2 deployments to Iraq. You will never find such a helpful staff that is willing to get you into the school, and that wants to see you succeed in lifes every day endeavors. Enjoy going to this school while you can, this is the most efficient way to get your degree while working and having a family.
