Bryant & Stratton College Rankings by Salary Score

Please understand that this review is not coming from a place of bitterness, just honesty based on my own experience. I enrolled into BS in may of 2022, I did not do well my first semester due to personal reasons. First, this whole 70 exam average and 70 class average set students up for failure. I passed my class with a 85 but my exam average was 68.9 leading me to repeat the class, cool. Got to my 3rd semester which is med surg and pharm. Pharm was rough, the first 2 exams we had class virtual so grades... Read More were trash. my instructor came back before the 3rd exam and things got better. what hurt me was taking the ATI proctored, we needed a 71 and I got a 70. that grade does not go into the grade book. if you get anything under the required score then you get a 0. my grade dropped 10 points leading me to need a 94 on the final to pass the class. My instructor was awesome and i can admit that my issues came from studying wrong and overthinking. AS FOR MED SURG...honey, first of all, im just going to flat out say that my "instructor" did not teach. We would have an exam on 4 systems to only be tested on one. when we took the 1st exam everyone failed so bad. it was supposed to be on respiratory, cardio, perioperative and cancer. the entire exam was on HIV. The exam was the same way, misleading. I went to the DON crying expressing my concerns because i was worried about failing. she wrote on a sticky not "level upRN, Mark Klimek"...i explained to her that i bought both systems and still failed. the day of second exam my instructor was irritated and got snappy with a student because she was upset about her grade. i was literally told by the DON that the program is designed for us to teach ourselves. I had so much anxiety before every exam because i never knew what i was being tested over. as a class we made study guides and crammed so much info in our heads until we were mentally and emotionally exhausted from being worried about over studying to studying the wrong stuff. we went to ever tutoring session which was just the instructor asking us what we wanted to know. i tried hard to figure out what i couldve done differently to pass but i cant think of one. nobody cares and they are all about money. so many people got to the end and failed out. they have instructors that feel like they are already nurse so why care? i sent an email to the BON about my concerns as well. they make this program extremely difficult to get through. im sorry if im all over the place..there is alot more that i could say but it would be days before i finish! RUN FAR AWAY. my friend left VA Beach and went to Hampton and i shouldve listened when she told me to leave.

As I feel that the online education I received was amazing. The classes were easy to manage while I have a full time job and a family. I graduated in April of this year (2022) I am beyond ecstatic. Now for the down fall. My major is medical billing and coding I had an exit interview which went well, here's where it doesn't go well. While the exit counselor had to help set up my board exam so I could take it (a requirement), I was not told at that time that it would be mandatory to purchase new coding books... Read More (mind you these 3 books were not released until May 5th 2022). When I show up yesterday May 25th I am turned away from taking the exam because I had the 2021 year coding books. This exam is $299 when I took the mock exam right before school ended we were told if we scored above a 75% the school would pay for the exam however, on exam day if you did not show or were turned away you forfeit the exam and the school would not pay, you would have to pay. When I call the counselor I was very upset about all of this he said I sent you emails telling you that you had to purchase the new coding books (that were released 19 days prior to testing), I replied no you have not sent me any emails concerning the new books. He said he was looking at the emails he sent. I replied so am I have a dozen emails from you and NONE of them pertain to the purchase of books. He said are you sure you are in your emails, I said yes I spell out my email, he said no it is in your school email. WHY???? I graduated I am done with school why would I look in my school email???? I said you have sent me dozens of emails and that is the ONE you send to my school email. I feel like this was a set up so the school didn't have to pay for my exam, this was conducted very unprofessional. With all the other emails sent to my personal email address could have sent that ONE VERY IMPORTANT EMAIL TO MY PERSONAL ONE!!! Now I have to wait 90 DAYS to take it at all and pay $299..... BAD JOB!!!!!!!!! Sincerely Tabatha Mullins Graduated student
