Lewis University Rankings by Salary Score

So I am not your traditional student. I’ve attended four other universities while attending Lewis to get a feel on how different/difficult the curriculum is to other “prestigious” universities. I wanted to ensure the best possible outcome. Ive attended Lewis, DePaul, U of I, and NIU. What I learned is the curriculum doesnt get better with the size of the program or how much funding they receive. I chose lewis because they tend to put more effort into their classes. When I was at both U of I and NIU they had... Read More you download materials and participate in discussion boards. You were graded on your interactions with other students. The books weren’t made for learning. They frequently were apa formatted texts related to the class you were studying and they were hard to read because of how many citations were on each page. The adjuncts put little effort into the class and passed everyone. I honestly felt I was ripped off at both institutions. At Lewis you don’t have that as long as you take online classes with full-time faculty or take classes on campus. You are always provided with lectures and the full time faculty tend to rely more on a mix of quizzes tests projects and homework. The books are actually made for graduate students and don’t contain citations mid sentence which makes it easier to grasp concepts. FullTime faculty get back to you within hours not days and are always available to meet to help explain topics. The only issue I’ve had at Lewis is with its career services department. The department a waste of school resources. They either should close the department or fire the staff and start anew.

Not a diploma mill but also not an affordable education. The campus is in a steady decline. Professors are hit or miss. Mostly miss with the greater majority being adjunct faculty. While I was in the program some students did try to plagiarise on papers and homework assignments. Those students were EXPELLED. Lewis has a ZERO TOLERANCE policy towards academic dishonesty and not afraid to enforce it. My choice to leave the program came down to cost and quality. I felt I was not getting my moneys worth. Its just... Read More too expensive. Private universities like Lewis are no longer viable alternatives since most state schools have lessened admittance requirements to both domestic and international students while also employing full time faculty. This leads to a low cost high quality education that private institutions like Lewis are unable to compete with. The larger budget and funding that state schools command allows them to acquire and employ the best technology. While I was in the program we were learning DBMS using SQL 2012 when we should have been using 2019. When learning new functions and features in excel we were introduced to xlookup but the schools program was so outdated it didn’t include the feature. This is just an expensive overpriced intuition that falls short academically. Its NOT a diploma mill.
