Best value for a private school in the KC metro area. Great programs and instructors. Flexible online / in person schedule to let the working adult complete their degree. *Wonderful* campus with great underground spaces.
A great experience! I can't wait to visit. Received my bachelors in management & computer information systems while on active duty Air Force stationed in New Mexico. Contrary to some other reviews, they do care about the military, instructors are very understanding and helpful beyond the end of the class.
Park was the perfect school for me. I had attended several different universities over a few years. Park accepted a majority of those classes as transfer credits towards my degree.
The staff always went out of their way to help. I could meet one-on-one with my professors at least a couple of days a week. I cannot say enough good things about the professors I had at Park. Some classes I knew I was going to do poorly in but with the help of my professors I managed to get through them all (QRM and Dr Bell!!!).
Very few of the professors I had in the Business Department were pure academicians. The vast majority of them had real world experiences to validate their teachings(Business Law with a real practicing lawyer). That made classes more relatable and added great value to the overall experience.
I loved my time at Park and built some lasting friendships across a wide spectrum of people. I would recommend Park to anyone who is looking for a first class education in a personalized environment.
I did my studies here and just loved it. Campus was charming, classes were organized and teachers were wonderful. Great experience.
I cannot say enough good things about Park University. I read through a lot of the reviews. Anyone can have a less than perfect experience with any "business". My experience with Park has been exceptional. The admissions process was outstanding. I have email, called, and used the Chat function on the website and there has not been one time that my question wasn't answered promptly and with good information. While I am a non-traditional college attendee (in every sense of the word) It is refreshing to feel part of the college community and experience.
There may be contrary opinions / reviews and I hope that those people are able to get some resolution . My experience has been exceptional and would certainly do it again and recommend Park to others in my situation.
Do not waste your time with this schools online program. It is a for-profit institution in that aspect, and is on par with University of Phoenix. This school should be taken off of military installations.
Pretty much what Sara said. It claims to be for military veterans, which is a lie. Just about every education officer you encounter will advise you to not go to Park University.
This school gouges you for money. They've developed Online programs that sound appealing to Military members, but like Sara said, you learn nothing in. They're priced appropriately to rob you of all the Tuition Assistance you earn, and quickly at that.
The administration is a joke. There is no accountability and they just pass you from person to person if you have an issue. I have had Marines file student grievance reports against different departments and not have them ever be solved. They eventually just switch institutions.
The phone clerks respond with e-mails and claim they have M.A.'s that they earned at Park. If you want to be a highly qualified phone clerk go to Park.
I just graduated with a bachelor's from Park and I am very pleased with the school. I am active duty military and Park went above and beyond to apply my military training towards my degree, saving me over a year's worth of classes. Because of the positive experience I have had at Park, I am rolling directly into a master's program and am considering applying for a doctorate later. If it weren't for Park's military friendly schedule and academic programs, I don't know that I would have finished my undergrad, much less anything higher. Thank you Park!
This university is a joke. i have two bachelor's degrees and an MA from a top ranked liberal arts institution. Going to back to school for my second graduate degree, I thought I'd try the online thing, and I wanted to stick with a private university. Clearly, Park was the wrong choice. Administration is riddled with bureaucracy, instructors have very little power over the course shells (if they care enough to bother), and e-courses are horribly disorganized and dated. I've yet to take a course with a completely updated syllabus. Neither have I had a single chance to take a course with actual tenured faculty. Nothing against adjuncts. They work hard, and they get almost nothing back in return for their hard work. But good grief; you'd think at least some of the upper-level classes would be taught by professors.
In the end, I would never recommend this school. Thankfully, come spring, I'm transferring to a college that actually shows an interest in its students. I'm not giving any more money to the incompetent bureaucrats that run this institution.
Contrary to some of the reviews here, Park University is a Non Profit organization. It is nothing like university of phoenix. Every professor that I had emphasized the importance of the subject matter, making it easier for students to understand and acknowledge what is being taught at hand. At the end of the day, I can assure that me and my fellow classmates learned tremendously. This ultimately led into great knowledge of the course and a step closer to a bright future. I received my B.S in Management Computer Information Systems and I am proud to call myself a Park alumni.
Park University is a well respected University that provides an excellent education. Anyone who compares Park University to the University of Phoenix is ignorant. The university has exceptional accreditation, highly qualified professors, and an accomplished alumni history. It's a great private university that focuses on the student. If you are looking to receive a great education, with personalized interaction with your professor, then consider Park University. It's worth the visit. I am an alumni who has been accepted to several top 25 University MBA programs. I credit Park with preparing me for graduate school.
