I was surfing the internet and googled my University and must say that I'm really surprised by the negative reviews on here. I was full-time at GCU's doctoral school of education and finished my EdS in 3 years. Every single staff except for ONE professor was always professional and polite. I did have one professor who, in my opinion, appeared to take an instant dislike to me. I have to admit that, in my opinion, this professor seemed to be unable to conduct himself professionally, politely or just... Read More

WOW! What a waste of time and money this university is worse then a university of Phoenix type of school and only cares about robbing you of your money. You will get canned content classes in which they will plug whatever teacher they can find into to run at last minute who is really there to babysit. You get no instruction at all on assignments and all questions are always met with a vague answer that will not answer your questions either. You will really get no relevant information to this profession... Read More

Doctoral program - NO!

Reviewed: 2/9/2020

Degree: Education

The doctoral program has many problems all at the expense of the student. The promise was a program where you work on your dissertation from day 1, 2 residencies, and completion in 3 years. This is absolutley not what happens. The program has been changed so many times students cannot keep up with the requirements. Approvals are not completed in a timely manner if at all because staff seems to be spread too thin. Additionally, feedback is vague at best. Students are told this is an independent journey...

Go to a different school for your Doctorate. This school says Christian but it cares about exploiting students and taking their money. Once they have all your student aid and living and they will make you pay $500.00 every quarter for years trying to complete the program.

Terrible experience. I had to change my degree from an Ed.D to Ed. S. Due to poor guidance and being reassigned 3 different chairs. Then, in new program, got my account blocked for 2 weeks and had no access to my resources and nobody returned emails or calls to help me resolve the issue. Very stressful. Several academic counselors hung up on me rather than work towards supporting me in resolving the issue.

I'm not done,but I'm on the last couple of courses. Go class of 2016! I have never worked so hard in my life. It sounds strange, but I appreciate the journey. I am a little frightened as I start course 967 in 2 weeks. I'll begin the Doctorate program in May 2012. I've grown so much. I am now in charge of my own education, a scholar. I never really knew what those words meant to the last few months. Thanks GCU
