Degree: History

I came into Norwich this past March as part of their online MA program in history, with a focus on their American History track. Working full-time made attending a traditional program unlikely. As such, the history, reputation, and program structure of Norwich appealed to me. That said, It became clear after the first few weeks I had severely misunderstood what I had gotten myself into. Having read through the multitude of reviews, it seems as if I am not the only one either. The initial professor... Read More

Norwich's MMH program was by far the most difficult academic program I've been through, from an undergrad in history from Saint Anselm College to the Marine Corps' Expeditionary Warfare School and Command and Staff programs. And it's by far the most valuable academic education I've yet received. It was worth every dime and then some. From start to finish I felt taken care of by the administrative staff and most importantly, taught by the instructors. Even after I finished, I've stayed in touch with... Read More

I applied for and was accepted to Norwich's Military History graduate program. I was impressed by the administrative support received throughout the entire process, from application to graduation. I liked the fact that acceptance was based upon pure merit (writing assessment submission and undergrad transcript) and did not rely on the for-profit GMAT/GRE exams, which are not accurate methods to measure an ability to research and develop theory. Another factor I am impressed with is option to delve... Read More

I found the on-line Military History degree program at Norwich one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences of my life. I enrolled simply because I wanted to earn the degree for personal reasons and not for professional advancement. For those who didn't do very well as an undergraduate, take heart. I didn't have a good GPA (under 3.0 Undergrad -1982) but you can get into the Norwich program if you know how to think and more importantly, write. I can't emphasize that enough if you can't write...

I was a student in the on-line history graduate program back in 2011. The only advice I can give someone looking into the on-line program is...find something else! I know that at least 5 of the 8 in my cohort dropped out by the third class. I was a 3.8 undergraduate student with a degree in history and government. However, NU doesn't want to teach or help students improve their craft as historians. Basically, the on-line seminars are terrible with low level discussion and lack of debate. Professors...

Degree: History

Already possessing one graduate degree, taken at a traditional program (where I served as a research assistant), I enrolled into the online program with great enthusiasm. I understood it would not be as fulfilling as a traditional program, but given my new status as a husband and father, I was excited to engage in intellectual discussions again, and receive a 2nd Master's degree in History, something I had hoped to do years ago. Sadly, it did not take long to realize that my experience was not going... Read More

Yes, this school is reputable, and they take low GPA's, which is nice for getting in. But when you start to struggle, don't expect any real help. I had first, Professor B. the assistant director. He was fine. Then Professor K. for the second class. My third class was with Dr. Ol.. He's a retired Colonel from the armed forces. Not trained in educating people. He was consistently unclear in what he wanted, and never gave actual advice on improving essays. His comments were simply "not on the graduate... Read More
