"This school should 100% be rated higher, and I think they are working toward that. The finance program has boosted my earning power in the accounting field where I am already employed. The knowledge of have gained from the overall business program (as opposed to solely the finance core classes) has tremendously helped me expand my usefulness to my employer(s). Some of the online classes are better than others because some of the professors have surpassed others by using video lectures, Zoom meetings, written and presentative resources, and just overall did better than other professors. I think all schools probably have this fluctuation in consistency. I am completely satisfied with the education I have received and WilmU and equally as important, the cost was affordable enough where I could pay cash. This is an excellent deal for a quality education."

"I just finished my last class in the Master of Science in Administration of Human Services program at Wilmington University and I am surprised this school doesn’t get more credit. Yes, this school has an open admission policy, but do not expect for a second that would indicate getting your degree will be a breeze. It won’t. I enjoyed my classes, but they were challenging and I’ve had a lot of sleepless nights due to the amount of reading and complex coursework involved. If you are someone who is considering the human services program, be aware there are some non-traditional “out of classroom” assignments. I conducted several interviewed with VPs of nonprofit organizations, social workers and program managers to learn the ins-and-outs of developing, managing and evaluating a nonprofit organization. Furthermore, if you are considering furthering your education to either a more clinically focused Masters (as I am) or pursuing a Doctoral degree, you really need to do the Thesis option at the end. It’s intense, but you’ll be extremely proud of your hard work. It’s hard to put it all into a single review, but I worked very hard to earn my degree from Wilmington University. My initial plan was to complete a few courses and transfer out to a “better” institution, but I liked the course content and my instructors so much I stayed. Proud Wildcat Alumnus!"

"I would recommend this school to future students. I had exceptional education and devoted professors. Most of my professors had careers in the field in which they taught in. This made it easier to learn the material. I obtained real life examples and first hand knowledge of the jobs I would be performing."

"I enjoyed my time at Wilmington! I feel that it was a great education at a very affordable price. I appreciated that the staff was always willing to help me and assist me when I needed them. The teachers were wonderful! I felt that I was attended to and assisted where and however I needed it. The online experience was thorough and the curriculum was excellent! Because it is online, it is accessible to anyone, anywhere , at any time. I have a very hectic work schedule so this was paramount to me and I appreciated the flexibility of the program so that my life was (for the most part) uninterrupted. I also was appreciative of the fact that the textbook prices were mitigated by the fact that the professors usually didnt require them. The most expensive book I ever had to purchase was 300$. Often times , there wasnt a textbook listed. My previous school was known for excessive book pricing so this was a huge plus for me. I remember how helpful everyone was at the online help desk, I often called several times because of some issues I had (that were my fault) but the staff was always willing to help. My teachers were very easy going and understood scheduling conflicts and worked their best to make sure that I was accommodated so that my assignments were counted and graded in a timely fashion. If you are searching for a great school at a reasonable price , check out Wilmington!"

I am currently a doctoral student at the university and am receiving the same level of support and commitment from the faculty."

"College can be great especially when you have a focus on what you want to do and a goal in mind, however never discount gaining some type of transferable experience while in college."

Wilmington University offers complete flexibility, which is an amazing gift to someone who is currently teaching, yet also trying to become a better teacher through classes, all at the same time! Additionally, Wilmington University classes are organized and all requirements are uploaded for the whole Block or Semester. So, if you have a life event coming up, it is so easy for you to plan your time out and get ahead so you can still have your life! Overall, anyone currently working who also wants to advance their career and get their Master's Degree, WU offers the best learning environment and flexibility around."

"I have chosen Wilmington University as the next building block into my future. I have selected my graduate program through Wilmington University, because I had an exceptional learning experience, with this university, while obtaining my Bachelors Degree in the Science of Psychology. I thoroughly appreciate how caring and helpful the university staff members are and how the university itself continuously provides students with seminars, job fairs and general education in each work field, simply to build us as professionals in the best way that they can. In addition, the university professors are significantly knowledgeable, enthusiastic about educating their students and always prepared to assist in any way that they can. As for my experience with my peers, at Wilmington University, they are always very supportive, and being as the class sizes are typically very small, the encouragement began to feel almost family like. I made my decision to continue pursuing my education at Wilmington University, while finishing my Associates Degree in the Applied Sciences of Human Services from Delaware Technical Community College. Delaware Technical Community College and Wilmington University have a connected degree program and I knew that was the right program for me. This being said, I have all intentions on continuing my education with this university because I know that it exceeds adequacy in all necessary aspects."
