Aspen university Review

Very Flexible,it is online learning not suitable for everyone. Not a scam nationally accredited. My employment paid for tuition and if not accredited would not have paid.

At its very best, the instruction is mediocre. Do not expect academic integrity, or expect to learn anything at all. This is simply repeating/regurgitating opinions from textbooks and articles, not acquisition of new insights or skills. Grading is inconsistent, with one "professor" having different expectations from another, and the rubrics really don't give much guidance. I have found that when questioned, many of the "professors" know very little. I would like to withdraw from this farce and find a legitimate online college but that is not financially feasible now. I am hoping I will not encounter the problems others describe of not being able to get my degree when finished. I also hope a degree from this diploma mill will not prevent me from being admitted to a reputable school for my Master's degree.

Horrible. Really bad experience with MSN professors never responding or over a week late grades or incomplete answer responses. Not just one professor but consistently across the board and I had to work with multiple academic advisors to try and get a hold of professors to get clarification or grades. Then I went to transfer out of this school which anyone who is in the program should do and I paid for an official transcript to be sent to my new college and they withheld it and never notified me and then slapped me with 99$ fee attached to my last class taken which was never even notified to me because it was placed on AFTER I paid for the class in full. Then after I paid the 99$ they said they sent the official transcript and charged me. However, it was never sent properly and my new college never received it. After 2 weeks of me leaving voicemails and sending emails that were never responded to, it finally got an email response saying they sent the transcript and I ll just have to pay again if I want it to be actually sent. So charged twice. Horrifying, unethical treatment of a student. Avoid this place like the plague

After reading some of the reviews on this school I am concerned whether or not it would be in my best interest to continue my education with this school. If you are reading this, and are a current student working on your RN to BSN, please email me more information about your current or previous experiences. Thanks.

The RN to BSN completion program online is very difficult. Although the program is affordable for working nurses, however the program is not student friendly and does not accommodate working class students. Out-of-State students with different time zones are penalized for not posting at the same time as the location of the school.

Unfair Grading policy. Grades of 0% are assigned by professors without any discretion for discussion posts that were posted 1 min or 1 hour late, within the same week of submission. According to the school program policy "Late is Late".

An extreme 10% which equals to 10 points deduction is taken from late assignments, whether 1 min or 1 hour late. And a 20% deduction is taken from assignment posted in the upcoming module, which is approximately 6 days long. Due to their hard grading system, it is easy for students to fail classes.

The workload per week is greater compared to other competitive and accredited online programs. Because of the high workload per class, students are unable to do two courses at the same time. Also it takes longer to complete your degree.

Many professors takes longer than 72 hrs to respond to emails or complaints. I felt like the courses were not engaging and I could not get the help I needed on-time. On the other hand, the student advisors are reachable. I must admit a few professors are impeccable and compassionate.

The program lacks flexibility and accommodation. I would not recommend this Institution to working nurses who are seeking a flexible, accommodating and engaging program to complete their BSN.

I tried to Jump ship, but I was unable to do so because I was already half-way deep in the program. Please shop around before settling with Aspen University. The extra workload, strict grading policies, and lack of flexibility is not worth it.

My wife earned her Master's from Aspen and it most certainly was not a scam as it is a nationally accredited institution. We paid up front and had no problems, other than the unnecessary nickel and dime fees they charged us for copies of course materials each class. Overall she had an excellent experience and felt that for the affordable cost it was very much worth it as the degree has helped to advance her career. Some of her instructors were better than others but on the whole they tended to be good. For those not used to online education, to succeed at a place like Aspen you have to be self-motivated and be comfortable with self-directing a good portion of your learning.

It's hard to get in touch with regiatra office!!! voicemail but no call back and email takes atleast 3days to relpy

Your basically taking out a loan when you join this university but as long as you pay on time or have a valid credit card in file there is never an issue. Idk super chill and all based on your own efforts.

Finished up my bachelors degree in business administration at Aspen. The curriculum was clearly laid out and expectations were set right from the beginning. You will essentially read through the books, participate in weekly discussions with you classmates and write 2-5 page papers weekly on your readings. It s straightforward and if you re responsible, disciplined and motivated, it s a great place to get a degree at a low cost!

Also, I checked with my employer (fortune 100 firm) and it was accredited. While applying for Master s programs the accreditation was once again validated.
