University of the Rockies Online Reviews

"I graduated in October and all I can say is that the school was great. Staff were wonderful and all of my teachers except for one were helpful. It was difficult at times but I was able to push through. Some of the textbooks were a little outdated and some assignments were beyond old; however, my professors were always current on information and gave enough information for me to learn all I needed. It will not he for everyone but it is a good school. The 6 week courses worked well for me and I like that classes were back-to-back. They are not APA accredited so that may not be appealing to some.Read Less"

"I would not recommend this college to anyone! Others have stated it's a scam, which it is. Recruiters tell you anything they think you want to hear. As an older student, I had no background in APA format. When I asked for help in the area, I was instructed to read other articles written in APA and figure it out. I was enrolled in Cultural Diversity with an instructor that had no understanding on my culture; I am from the Appalachian mountains. I felt discriminated against the whole time and expressed this to my counselor. Toward the end of the class, I had a family emergency and called my counselor immediately. I explained the situation and asked if documentation was required; I was told 'no'. Later when I decided to transfer to Liberty University, I was told I needed 'proof' of the medical emergency which was no longer available to me. I was stuck with a bill of over $2,000 which I am stilling trying to pay. It's all about the money folks.Read Less"

"Rockies University is great! I love being able to have a job to gain first hand experience while furthering my education. I would recommend their online programs to anyone. Classes are easily accessible throughout the day leaving students time to deal with life."

"I graduated in June of 2016. I have yet to receive my diploma. I have called on multiple occasions only to be ignored. I thought posting this review might help. They got a lot of my time and money. All I want is a piece of paper validating my hard work. In addition, my first advisor was amazing, my last advisor was HORRIBLE!"

"I am a mother of three and I work full time as well. With both of my boys in football and my daughter in dance it was very hard to pursue my dreams while living the reality as working full time and being a mother. University of the Rockies was a platform for me to achieve my dream and give my children the opportunity to see that dreams can come true no matter what life throws at you. Attending University online helped me execute my goals and now I am on my way to pursuing my aspirations in another Master's program in Applied Behavioral Analysis and working with children who have Autism.Read Less"

"Ok, of you're from Illinois, and want an lpc or higher, this degree is worthless. I learned the hard way. If ... you want to learn, it's a good school, and there mediation specialty is good , but in illinois it won't get you a job. I was told by the board, that they wouldn't even consider my degree and either A. Get another masters or B. Get a phd. Unfortunately, I'm too old to accrue any more debt"

"As a student of U of R you will be self motivated. The career set you sign up for will be exceptional. Most books you can get online and easy to read. I found this University's strong points to be their instructors/professors, professional, knowledgeable and available. I found the weak points to be the cost and the communication with the advisors. All in all U of R was a GREAT experience. I am very happy I am an alumni. I would recommend this university to those who are self motivated and are able to get past the cost and improve communication. Good Luck everyone.Read Less"
