"What a waste of money and time. I won't even call them professors. They focus so much on apa formatting instead of content. My current textbook has 0 value, it's basically a bulleted list and does not delve into the ideas behind it. I have not learned anything and just end up pissed off every week. Once I am done with this semester I will not be continuing with WBU, the masters program has been a complete waste of time, money, and motivation. F this school."

"The program will not help you to get a job. Most employers find doctorates to be over qualified. I did not see the point of attending this school. I didn't learn very much. The entire process was very confusing and stressful for me and many of the other students."

"This school is not Military Friendly. I believe they cost way to much. They have fees for online exams and everything. It so many extra cost on this school. Unlike AMU where if you go to training the teacher can wait for you to come back where you can pick up where you left off. This school give you an incomplete and you have to wait unit the next term to complete your class. A total waste of time. With AMU I had a 4.0 still have it with this school I have a 2.0 because I miss an exam and tried to contact the school and the teacher would not allow me to make up the exam."

"I found Wayland Baptist University to be the ideal fit for me as a non-traditional student. As a single parent working full time I had very little time left for myself. Having the option to take online classes allowed me the flexibility to pursue my degree without taking time away from my children while dashing across town to be in time for class. The instructors at Wayland all seemed to be experienced in delivering effective course content online and each of them seemed fully engaged with their students and classes. I found the course work to be challenging in a way that caused me to expand my understanding of my area of business. Not only did I earn a degree but I learned theories and skills that I was able to apply to real life situations. As a result, my own job performance improved and I have become a mentor for other managers at my institution. I strongly recommend Wayland Baptist University for any non-traditional students as it is a place that values your life experiences and provides the flexibility for you to have a life outside of school."

"I took most of my classes online, but also took a few at two of the campuses in Alaska. Every experience was good, from the administrative staff to the professors. I learned a lot and it was all relatively easy and painless."

"The pros of this program is that it accommodates working professionals by offering online graduate level course. The cons of this program is that these courses may too easy and possibly lack some valuable content. Also, it seems as if this university chooses textbooks that are more expensive than other textbooks."

"It is always great to find an opportunity to study online when you have a busy life. Wayland is offering this program online, and I am excited to be a part of it. The professors response quickly, and the only con is that I wish I lived where the college is and could go to school on campus."
