Polk State College Reviews of Bachelor's in Business Administration

"Worse school when it comes to admissions, and residency. Most of their employees dont know what they are doing, and cant give you the right answers to your problems. School very unorganized. Lady name Carmen from admissions stated my parents are undocumented immigrants (July-31-19 around 12:20) when they are not. I been waiting for my residency to go through for the past 3 weeks and no answers, lost a class over it."

"Polk State is a great school. I loved it there and I liked the majority of my Professors. I only had a small negative experience with one Professor and even that really wasn't a big issue. My main issue is with Polk's FA Department and their advisors. My advisor would only respond when I bombarded him with e-mails. I would get one response for every 4-5 e-mails. When he finally responded, he would give me a copy and paste answer instead of answering my questions. No guidance at all. FA is a nightmare. Not one semester did they not mess something up. I was locked out of classes due to their errors on three separate semesters. I would have to contact the Director directly who would then have it corrected. Funny how the Director e-mails them once and everything's fixed, meanwhile I had e-mailed and called for a week and got nothing done. Polk is a good school, they just need to get their FA and advisors on the same level as the rest of the college. Also, if you're going to take classes on campus, go to Lakeland. Winter Haven is dirty and in a bad part of town. Lakeland is pretty and in a good location."

"Polk State College is a great starter school for you to get your most basic classes in for your Associates. It's very common for students to transfer to other universities to finish their Bachelors. Polk State currently has quite a few options themselves for BAS degrees, but not everything. It's a great school to graduated for business though. Saved a lot of money by staying at the college instead of transferring, and I finished a year ahead with fast track courses."

"Polk State has a very friendly atmosphere. The number of students is low, meaning teachers can help you one on one when needed. There is available tutors for every subject, and a great student success center on every campus. The multiple campuses throughout Polk county make it easier to pick up classes close by."

"I graduated from Polk State College in Dec 2014 with my Bachelors in Business Administration. Polk State College offered online and night classes that worked out great with working full time. The price is also cheaper than other colleges around for a Bachelors. They have a few campuses that you can take your classes at depending on your location or the classes that are being taken. They do have large class sizes when I took classes at the campus, but with most of my classes online, it was not a big concern for me."
