Purdue Global

Hello, I had an enjoyable experience pursuing a third degree through Purdue Global. The instruction, assignments, and discussions were all of a good quality and I felt they were beneficial to my learning. I did not have any negative experiences and found the instructors to be engaged and knowledgeable. The support I received from my student advisor after I was assigned a second individual was lacking. I received little to no responses on limited inquiries but they did assist me at the end with the... Read More capstone process. Thank you. Eric B. Perdue

Please do not attend this school. They will promise support for clinical placements and will not follow through. Additionally the courses will not prepare you to pass your boards. The pharmacology course has test questions from an RN psychology textbook that have no bearing on the NP scope - and that is just the tip of the iceberg. I had only 3 clinical courses to complete and had to change programs as I had difficulty securing a clinical site and had ZERO assistance from the school. I am so glad... Read More I did change programs though because that’s when I realized just how lousy the curriculum with this program is. It is a diploma mill and they will accept everyone who is willing to fork out the money. Not only do I not recommend this program I can say without question that I know multiple directors who will not hire graduates from this program. Please, go elsewhere! Your career and future success depends upon it!

I would first like to thank the entire staff for the excellent knowledge they have given me regarding health information management. At this university, my dream has come true. Several reasons make me like Purdue Global. 1. First and foremost, it was effortless for me to manage my time. 2. Students could perform their studies at their own pace. It was difficult for me to return to university after 20 years as an international student. Thank you to all of the devoted, experienced faculty and advisors... Read More that helped me a lot to achieve my dream 3. The faculties are very kind, humble, and always ready to support. It was an injustice if I took one faculty name. All of them had tremendous support during my studies. One suggestion, if the university could make some arrangements for international students to pay their fees, then I would say. Then I believe that no university can compete with Purdue Global. If I get a chance in the future to study, I will prefer Purdue Global.

I did not have many issues with Purdue Global until it came to my last round of clinical rotations. I had submitted my preceptor and site back in august and all of a sudden in april the site stated the i was not allowed to do clinicals in washington state, which I had been doing and my clinical advisor had not mentioned this being an issue. Long story short, there was a lot of false promises made by the associate dean of the school of nursing to me and it ended up leading to me having to find another...

The lack of organization and professionalism on purdue's end was eye opening and changed my opinion on the university to the negative.

Purdue University Global was unexpected when I was looking to continue my education. I was interested in Arizona State University but could not speak to anyone regarding attending school there online. Purdue University Global popped up with an ad regarding the University and registration. I thought to myself, what do I have to lose? If I do not get selected, I will look elsewhere closer to home. I live in California, and there are universities close to me that I could attend. My brother-in-law mentioned... Read More to me that the name alone carries weight when people look at a resume or discuss university affiliation. So I applied to Purdue and got accepted. That was two years ago, and since that time, I have made the dean's list, I believe, every term but one. I am excited about finishing my classes in a week and what the future holds for me now that I have a degree. Anyone that is looking or even thinking about Purdue University Global will not go wrong. As a popular commercial put it, "Just do it". It was a lifelong dream for me to accomplish this journey, and I am glad I did. Thank you, Purdue.

I started by bachelor's degree at Purdue University's main campus back in 1998. When I decided to finish my degree, Purdue University Global was the perfect fit for me. All of my previous credits, that I had accumulated over two years, transferred. Which left only two years to complete my degree. I enjoyed the virtual atmosphere. Since I work full time and have a family and house to take care of, flexibility was a necessity. I have been inducted into seven honor societies during my two years here....

The education provided was very nice and majority of the course work was actually based around my major. It's didn't feel like my degree was more general education rather it was more information technology with a concentration in cybersecurity. The school is very responsive and actively makes sure students are successful. They also dealt with the VA for me whenever the VA made a mistake. My only complaint is the price can be a little high for each course, but I used my GI Bill, so it wasn't a problem.... Read More

This like all things has both good and bad. However, the good far outweighs the bad. This is my second Masters through Purdue Global. First, the admission process is a little disappointing. There doesn't seem to be a hard process. This is great because some people, unfortunately, need opportunities that they would otherwise never receive. Honestly, I shouldn't be in this Masters program, and a more stringent process or advisors would have steered me away. However, feeling qualified or that there... Read More was some level of competition would be nice, and would help eliminate those students who are not going to make it. Secondly, online-only courses are not for everyone. I love them because they fit my busy schedule, but again not for everyone. The program is very fast paced, and at times it can feel like you are on a hampster wheel doing more to keep up with assignments and papers than learning. There isn't a lot of interaction with your advisor unless you make the effort, Lastly, the papers are graded on a rubric and not on ability. Everyone cannot write well, but there should be subjectivity in grading written work. There are several positives to Purdue Global in my opinion. If you have a busy schedule, and/or do not learn well in a classroom, then this may be a good option for you. In each program, I've been the teachers have been extremely helpful when reaching out to them. I do not know what is "affordable", however, one deciding factor for me coming back was it was more affordable than other schools that interested me. The writings and assignments grading focus more on the ability to gather information and answer questions than on writing style. The program gives you the opportunity to learn. Though it is fast paced, at the end of the day if you want to learn the information you will work to do what you need to do outside of assignments and the one hour a week class.

I started my degree at Purdue with the promise that I would have my dream job at the end of my degree. That is not the case. There are many things that need improvement in this degree plan starting with the support the students get. The support I got was limited and I struggled to make it through because of the lack of support. The only reason I did not quit is because of the support I got from my student advisor and some of the good teachers I met along the way. The online learning environment also... Read More added to the difficulties of navigating this degree plan. I am just about to graduate and instead of being well-prepared to enter the workforce with my degree I am left with so many uncertainties. I am very thankful for the knowledge I have obtained from Purdue but I feel there are a lot of things that need improvement, especially for the students that are paying and going into debt for this education.

I believe this school has potiential; however, the education is lacking. I received 100s on most assignments and never got feedback-this does not advance my knowledge. I could never learn from quizzes because the professors were never allowed to go over them. Additionally, one hour lectures are not appropriate for the course work. They need to be longer. VR is ridiculous. I learned nothing from this, and it is a waste of money. I learned more from YouTube than VR, and I didn’t pay a dime! Additionally,...
