Moody Bible Institute Rankings by Salary Score

Terrible communication from the school. They make changes but those are not communicated or poorly communicated. The financial aid department is a mess. Every single semester my financial aid information was incorrect and it was impossible to get ahold of them. I also worked for the school and one time I went over and they just had the phones off the hook so the calls wouldn’t come through. Additionally one semester financial aid literally did not disperse at all and they sent an email out saying if you need... Read More your loans and everything you can reach out directly. I had friends reach out and heard nothing back. During that time instead of resolving the issue they created a new email address and then said they couldn’t respond to the emails on the other address? Another weird thing for the undergraduate program is you can only take classes on your program plan. If you take any other classes you have to pay full price for them even if you have additional space in your schedule. For the graduate classes they moved many classes from 16 weeks to 8 weeks so many of my professors talked about how they couldn’t get through as much information and wouldn’t just let us know what we were missing out on. In one of my 8 weeks classes we spent over half the time watching movies which is wild for a graduate level class. Overall the education quality isn’t great and the school itself is only focused on making money. I know people who work in admissions and the focus is to expand to online and commuter students who can pay more so they can make more money. The focus of the school is just making money at the expense of the students they are meant to serve. They really say it is a great deal but as a grad you never get more than 50% off even as an employee they remove the additional scholarships. For undergrads the paid tuition model only applies to those who live on campus so they can still have you pay $14000 per year for housing. They removed some of their programs such as urban cohorts because too many students were living off campus in communities around the city to intentionally serve the community because they were losing money on those students. Overall I’d strongly recommend another school because this one is just not worth the stress.

Moody Bible Institute and Moody Theological Seminary represent a wonderful place where growth takes place inside and outside the classroom. One of the most impactful experiences consists of being part of a great multicultural community of students, and seeing the God and the world through so many eyes from all the continents. The professors are high quality and both their teaching and their friendliness are life-transforming. Most importantly, I believe God is honored through the academic and ministry-oriented... Read More atmosphere, as well as through the relationships that define what Moody Bible Institute is. I highly recommend it.
