Colorado Technical University Reviews

"CTU online campus is the best choice in my life as a busy student because it allowed me to work and attend classes as the same time without being overwhelmed by life at home, work, and school. CTU online is best choice for individuals with families, work, and want to further their studies. Online campus allowed me to research on my own time, balancing school and work which could be challenging but with time management it worked so well such that I can firmly say that this is the best program ever in CTU. Thank you for making my dream come true. I am a graduate now.Mercy Muiruri from Kenya.Read Less"

"I really enjoyed the atmosphere of CTU's online platform. My overall experience was great, and the professors were more than willing to help when I asked questions or needed clarification about something. I would recommend this college to friends and family who are looking to further their education."

"I started school 3 years ago at ctu. I was approved for fasfa and the guy talked me into getting a bachelors instead of an associates degree. After 3 years they tell me my financial aid was all used up. They gave me no warning or anything. I called the financial aid to try and resolve it but she said I can go get a private loan and she don’t know why I was not notified. So I just wasted 3 years for them to kick me out at the end with no remorse. It’s crazy when I started this they were well aware I was not in the position to pay out of pocket. They assured me they had my best interest at heart and would help me through this process. 0/10 please go anywhere else just not here!Read Less"

"Colorado Technical University (CTU) has provided a flexible and career-oriented graduate experience that fits well with the demands of working professionals and students in fast-paced fields like cybersecurity. As a student in the Master of Science in Computer Science program with a concentration in Cybersecurity Engineering, I’ve appreciated the university’s commitment to practical, real-world application. The coursework is structured to build strong technical foundations while addressing current industry trends, such as secure coding, network defense, and system hardening.One of CTU’s standout features is its Intellipath® adaptive learning platform, which tailors lessons to individual strengths and gaps—making it easier to manage progress without redundant material. The online format has been crucial for balancing my academic goals with work and life responsibilities, and the faculty have consistently demonstrated expertise and responsiveness.Read Less"

"The professors were amazing. Within the first few months after starting my program, I had a family tragedy. My son was diagnosed with a pituitary tumor and almost died. Four months later, he was diagnosed with a deadly illness called Lamer's Syndrome. Even through these tradgies, my professors and success coaches kept me going. The enviornment is excellent for busy students. The course work was easy to follow. I had all the support and resources that I needed. Since completing my degree, I have now entered a Master's program with the same CTU support. I am excited to where I am going and I recommend CTU to everyone I meet that has an interest of going back to school. I atteneded the virtual graduation and when I have completed my Master's program I plan to go to the actual graduation. I know I could have chosen another online program but, I am very satistifed with this one. If I can I will pursuit my Doctorate at CTU as well!Read Less"

"I absolutely loved my college experience online. The professors and success coach was right there with me every step of the way. I graduated with a 3.99, and it takes dedication and motivation to do this, but it is well worth it! I am actually going back to get another bachelor’s degree!"

"I would recommend CTU to all that is looking for a college.CTU makes you feel welcome, and eager to guide you though it all . I am more then pleased to have received my diploma here. This was the greatest success and choice I've ever made thank you CTU"

"I would recommend CTU to anyone. I have already convinced my husband to go to college and he is currently enrolled in the Criminal Justice program. Everyone that I speak when they find out that I am in college, I am continuing with a master's degree in computer science, I always ask them what they would like to obtain. If they are serious, I give them Autumn Star's phone number. I let them know that the instructors are the best, and that if I can do it, they can."

"I would like to share my experience with Colorado Technical University as I approach my graduation in two months with a bachelor's degree in Accounting. My time at this institution has been incredibly fulfilling. Each online course I have taken has effectively prepared me for success. The classes were straightforward, and the instructors were approachable and always willing to assist. Additionally, I received regular check-ins from my advisor, student success coach, professors, and financial aid officer. The ability to complete all my courses online has been invaluable, especially as a single mother. The flexibility to work on assignments at my own pace while adhering to deadlines has been the most beneficial aspect. Access to such a commendable program has been a significant advantage. I have never felt more at ease in an educational environment that is accommodating and empathetic, especially when life circumstances necessitate late submissions and prioritizing personal well-being.Read Less"

"Colorado Technical University is the first college university I have ever attended and it will always be my favorite school and I will always remember how helpful everyone was with me especially my instructors. I am so glad I made the right choice to go back and further my education and pursue my dreams. CTU will always be a part of me and will always be my family because they always looked out for me and motivated me when there was times when I thought about giving up, but I knew I couldn't because I came this far and I made a promise to myself that I was gonna stay in school and graduate and that's exactly what I did. Thank you CTU for having me as a student and helping me be more confident in myself.CTU has taught me a lot and I know a lot more and I have more knowledge than I ever did before. Thank you CTU!Read Less"

"I never experienced online learning prior to attending this institution. After attending this institution, I would recommend it to anyone seeking higher education and recommend CTU for their ease of understanding, process, and excellent technical support. From the beginning I was assured that I would finish what I started and graduate. That was my goal and I achieved it at CTU. No University saw me graduate but this one, which speaks volumes because I am not a foolish individual. Graduating with a Summa Cum Laude distinction took sacrifice and work, but it was done, and I know it could have been done at any other University, but it was done at Colorado Technical University. The professors were available to guide and instruct my peers and I through the process of completing each course. This University has taught me about my learning style and most importantly, how well I work under pressure. This was critical for me to know. Thank You CTU Staff and Faculty for helping me find the learner with me again.Read Less"

"I attended CTU online through my employer-offered benefits. The program was terrific. I enjoyed almost all of my classes, the instructors, and the coursework. The last couple of years have set me on a path to do great things and a pursuit of knowledge uncommon in my workplace and among most of my friends. You can do anything you put your mind to. The staff and mentors at CTU put in the time to set you up for success. The path is laid before you, with courage you can take a step and are that much closer to the next adventure.Read Less"

"CTU staff and faculty provided an outstanding doctoral experience. I can personally attest, the talented and experienced personnel of CTU significantly enhanced my learning experience in an online degree program. Additional, the CTU library staff and research services made the difference in achieving my doctoral research efforts. Job well done! #CTUDOCGRAD"

"I just graduated with my bachelor's and I am still enrolled at CTU now to get my master's. The only downside I would share is the price. CTU is very expensive and I have a large amount of student loans owed now. I wanted my degree so I did it despite the cost. I think it is something that could use some reviewing however in the future. Staff and faculty have all been great in all my experiences with them so that goes a long way to know someone is willing to help you and talk to you. I am happy with my education and degree earned and the one I am currently working on now.Read Less"

"I loved attending school here! The setup was amazing, and made it really easy to learn! All of the staff was wonderful, and I had a great experience. I recommend this school to people all the time, and will continue to do so! Thank you CTU for helping me better myself!"

"Nearly 100% on all assignments even when skimping on The admissions crew is unable to export content and/or give me access to a class closed down, so I could gather more notes. These are simple tasks that require basic but seem to be outside the box and unable to serve the education requests of their students. Admissions rep missing meeting unannounced and gave incorrect due date information for pr-req's."

"Best school I've ever attended other than my High School!!!!!!!!!!!! CTU for Life!!!!! Now I'm enrolled in my Masters Degree of Science Management and can't wait till I graduate from that program as well. I Love my school and wouldn't change it for the world!!! Thank you CTU for bringing out the best in me!!!!! Goooo CTU!!!!!!!"

"I am a VRRAP program Veteran. I have nothing but trouble with getting "stipends" due to me from this school. I have had to call the financial aid dept. and haggle with them at each disbursement period ( thats when you can find out when that even is) and just this last time 8/31/2022, they did not give me my money at all. The fed deposited the money on 8/17/2022, the financial aid staff claims they didn't get the deposit until 8/20/2022. They also regularly tell you that it takes two weeks to process the payout. Well the payout got to take longer and now I didn't get one. They always have an excuse for the unprofessionalism in this matter. The Veterans Administration pays them my tuition fees, they KNOW this, but always claim because I get VRRAP it somehow sends my file into a vortex of ignorance. The FAFSA is an entirely different animal than VRRAP so I don't buy the excuse for not giving me my money. I am constantly late on bills now since I started at this school. I am virtually always on the edge of eviction when I can't discern when I will get any money ( the intended use of the money is ironically to pay said bills so I can do my studies). I suffer from PTSD so this situation has me in a constant state of high stress. It is damaging. I pay high late fees almost every bill cycle now on top of it. They absolutely refuse to be transparent about an accurate date when stipends are payed out, it is completely inconsistent. They are a seemingly very greedy institution that treats VRRAP veterans like potential deadbeats and I am not good with that. They claim they "hold your financial loans and Pell money against your tuition" so this is how you get slow walked at payout time. I have been pretty much told because I am a VRRAP Veteran that I am on the second class student status. The VA has paid them $13,000 in one chunk already and I am not halfway thru yet. They pay them again at the halfway mark and then when I am done. They know this but infer that the VA isn't going to pay them. All this worry about their money but about 5 percent concern with the Veteran getting monies due. This is not an isolated incident as I have noted in recent BBB and Consumer reports. And so nobody can say I am lacking on my end in any way I would add that I am a straight 'A' student with a 4.0 grade average. I have been on their presidents list consistently now. Unfortunately for me, I may have to quit after all the time, money and hard work invested into this because I have to find a dead end job to survive. The whole purpose of this VRRAP was to stifle this problem while quietly in the background this situation is actively being caused to become overwhelmingly worse by the unprofessional actions of their school finance system. The sad part is there is no reason for this. Everybody is GETTING PAID everyone but ME of course. If anything, I hope that if this entry does not get them to fix this quagmire, that at least other Veterans may see this and decide to attend a school elsewhere. On an up note, the Instructors at CTU appear to be great people who bend over backwards to help their students and go above and beyond to motivate students to get the best scores and learn the curriculum as possible. My problem isn't with the teachers, it's with the bean counters. Thank you for your time.Read Less"
