This school is almost entirely online STILL in 2024. I think UAA saw that they could get away with it during covid and could continue to get away with it four years later. If I look at Psychology classes to join, over 90% of them are online. You'd be paying full price to teach yourself everything and do it alone. Its horrible, if I weren't so far into my degree I'd ABSOLUTELY go to a different school.
Your UA online website is horribly confusing. A lot of money must be wasted on confused students having to call staff with questions. Your staff is wonderful, your website leaves MUCH to be desired! It took me days of calling the staff and waiting for information, and I know this isn't a singular experience.
