"Now, we are graduating during COVID-19 period at 2021. I missed the due date for registration for graduation ceremony. I asked for any solutions for my case to join graduation ceremony. The answer, we do not care. It is your problem. You will not get the graduation ceremony like other students. The employees at one step are very arranged and not helping any one. Even after graduation getting job is very difficult if you are student who graduated from Lawernce technological university. You will not find job. Their classes and materials old. And their staff at the one step center are not good people to talk . What is the point of studying 6 years without graduation ceremony and you can not get ticket to attend the graduation ceremony. I guess. There is no need for it anymore. And there is no point of talking with step one. When time come of paying money, you paid like other students, but you did not get equal service."

"Not the cheapest, not the most expensive. It was the only online Masters degree at the time for Architecture. The classes are informative and based on Theory, like most architectural programs. They do allow for practicums, by permission from the instructor. I have enjoyed my time at the school."

"College can provide great opportunities, however, it isn't a decision to take lightly. Future job prospects and cost benefit of a degree and major should be considered before taking out large amounts of debt to pursue a degree. Consider taking an internship first or talking with a career counselor about both the likelihood of a securing a job in your chosen field and a realistic expectation of income. There are many careers out there that don't require a degree, and not all degrees are worth the time and cost commitment."

"The online graduate program allows me to further my career while furthering my education. There is great use of technology to make the program function. The program does require one course on-campus, however this portion was lacking due to poor communication about the program, campus, and expectations. The remainder of the online education has been great!"

"The online Master's of Architecture Program definitely stands alone from other programs. Through the process of trial and error along with input from high quality students and staff, this program keeps improving year after year to meet to needs of online students. The teachers I've interacted with have pushed students to do their best and work hard, all while understanding the online environment and providing many different means and method for an interactive and stimulating learning environment. They offer laptops to be checked out for students that need them. They are always updating their online systems to keep things smooth running and easy for the users. And finally, there is always someone there to help you out with any questions/concerns students might have. I truly cannot say enough positive things about the LTU online program."

"At Lawrence Tech, I love that I am able to combine my love for communication and technology. I love that I am being trained on becoming a technical writer or a community manager with knowledge of SEO. The one thing that doesn't work at LTU's benefit is that classes are not offered as frequently as you would like to complete your program. If you miss an opportunity to take a class, you may have to wait anywhere from 1-3 semesters before you have an opportunity to take it."

"I didn't enter grades for areas that didn't apply to me. I really am enjoying my experience at LTU. It is a little bit on the expensive side, but it is probably worth it. The professors are very supportive. I have learned more here than I thought I would! It's a great experience and I would do it all again if I had to."

"LTU's graduate program has proved to be both challenging and academically fulfilling. The biggest benefit of any program here is the professors. The professors typically are all also working in the field they teach. This provides not only a well balanced teaching style, but also allows students to apply the classroom teaching to workplace applications. The rigorous coursework is both interesting and worthwhile to a broader scale of knowledge. The Architectural Engineering program helped me to find my first internship which I then was able to turn into a full time paid position, while still in school."

"Overall, its a very good university. It's not widely known by native Detriot-ers but has a solid reputation state-wide for it's school of architecture. The cons of its MDB program fall into the range of availability. LTU's website suggest there are more online classes available then they actually offer. It caused me several issues because I work full time and live 40 minutes away in Macomb."

"I feel the pros of Lawrence Technological University is the faculty members experience in the working field, or have in depth knowledge on a particular focus. If you ask Professors for help, they are more than willing to help you; or at least point you in the right direction. The cons about the graduate program, is diversity and how it plays a role in my learning. Few people understand my dilemma as a minority from Detroit. There are few things available for minority engineering students."

"Lawrence Technological University is a great school and I am pleased with my decision to pursue my graduate education with this university. I especially enjoy the online curriculum, the courses are well thought out and allow students to apply and share their prior work and education experiences with fellow classmates. Thus far (I’m in my second year) I have encountered some great professors and have learned a great deal that I am able to carry on towards my career."

"I feel that Lawrence Tech definitely prepares students in the field of architecture, but that is as far as it goes. They do little, to nothing, to help students find jobs in the profession upon graduation. The school is incredibly expensive (typical for a private university) and we are given very little information on financial aid possibilities/scholarships. It is a 'technological' university but everything is outdated. The only pro's a really have about the school are the fact that I received my Bachelor's & Master's degrees from there...and the fact that it's only 15 minutes away from my home. Aside from that, I will be paying my loans back until the day I die. I got a job in an intern getting paid a whopping $12/hour!"

"Thus far I have truly enjoyed the MBA program at LTU, the workload is just right and the professors challenge you to be innovative and to think outside of the box. I feel that those traits are important in today’s workforce; LTU is teaching students to be the leaders and teach others. The con’s about the program is that it is expensive; most of this is due to the university being private. Financial aid is available and the representatives are very helpful in assisting students meet their financial obligations."
