Most Recent Reviews
I have had an atrocious experience with this school. I can ask the same question again and again until blue in the face and they won't answer it. They do not offer assistance. They do not offer quality education. It is unforgivable. Please remember you can't transfer nursing credits to another school. Find a quality school the first time.
My experience had overall been positive and I look forward to the future after my degree. The classes have prepared me for my future degree. Professors were very helpful and provided excellent feedback. It was amazing to work with Individuals from all over the world. I would definitely recommend Purdue Global to anyone looking to go back to school.
