Harris School of Business Rankings by Salary Score

Do not waste your time with this place, they will promise you everything and get you nothing. My class waited till our second 5 weeks before we got most of our supplies, teachers all leave. Had two out of all that actually taught me something. You'll never get the job they say you will, career services does nothing to help. I have requested transcripts to be sent to my current college and almost 2 months later, they still don't have them. My advice to you is RUN LIKE HELL! Do not let them talk you into it... Read More with all their promises, nothing will happen. The only good thing I took from here was some great friends I made in my class.

After 25+ years as a Medical Assistant, 20 of those years as a medical biller (8 ) which I ran a billing company near the shore and (12) my own billing company in NJ which I am certified through the DOBI. (Department of Banking & insurance) In late 2016, I became a widow. Most recently, I decided to go back to school to update my education and credentials. I am not fluent in ICD-10 or EMR. I learned the old school way of billing. My goal is to be a CPC ICD-10 and get my AHIMA credentials as well. I did a lot... Read More of research and found that in my locality there are not many choices for billers/coders to physically go to school. Most are only offered online. I prefer a class room, and I didn't want to 2 year college class and to travel over 1 hour each way daily. I wanted something that was obtainable in 1 year. I researched Harris School of Business. I didn't just read reviews. I talked to local people, I went to the school several times armed with a list of questions. At my age I felt this was probably my last chance to update my education and get a great job. It's not all about the money at my age, although I need a pay check. But I need good benefits and a pension, paid sick time and vacation. After the loss of a spouse that was sick for 10 years I had nothing left, no retirement, no income and no business and no longer good health insurance unless I wanted to pay $1600.00 per month. (my choice to take care of my spouse) I also had to down size and sell my home of 24 years. I was now faced with what am I going to do about my future. I decided through talking to my grown sons (good advise) to continue in the field were I was most knowledgeable, billing and taking care of others. So I am now pursuing the last half of my life. I am not as young as I was 20 years ago and yes it's hard, but hard work = reward. (now 56 y/o) I can not say enough about my instructor @ Harris/Linwood, NJ she is top notch!! she is patient and kind and caring and believe me she knows her stuff when it comes to this industry, she makes you feel that regardless of how old or young you are, that through hard work and dedication YOU CAN SUCCEED!!! it's up to you. You get what you put into things and yes I understand that Life happens. No one is going to sugar coat things or hold your hand, if that's what you are looking for then perhaps this isn't for you. We are adults, these classes can tough, but it's obtainable. You need to be dedicated first to yourself and you will have success. I am sorry for my long winded post. I am so looking forward to graduating and getting a great job with a hospital system, perhaps even going back to work for myself someday. The skies the limit !!! Good Luck to you all. a fellow student at Harris School of Business Linwood, NJ.
