Colorado Christian University

Unfortunately, this organization has been sending me spam email marketing. I would like to have it stop but it just seems to keep coming. I'm sure the school is fine, but their marketing is not so effective. I hope this rating helps.

At first, this school was interesting to me. I was out of State, but it provided a sense of community and belonging. However, I did notice this was all just a front. After your admission counselor speaks to you and walks you through admissions you are basically on your own. Talking to staff is difficult because of the time zones, and getting a hold of them is quite frustrating. Some professors were good and others weren't. Half of them cared, but the lack of transparency was evident when you needed extra help. The final straw was when tragedy hit me twice losing my grandparents and taking a tough course with a very mean, unsupportive teacher. I ended up failing the class, which was the first time I ever failed a class, and I appealed two times. The first time they gave me approval, but I didn't want to take this class again with this teacher. I took it again and passed with a low C, and I appealed and got suspended from school. Nobody tells you anything until it's too late. The faculty is messy, and the religion aspect I thought the school cared but they are just out for the cash, unfortunately....

While I am sure that campus is great and in-seat classes are worthwhile, online adult learning is atrocious. All of the professors are teaching as a way to generate additional income. Every professor I had during my program worked a full-time job else where. It was nearly impossible to meet with them, and in most instances, meeting with them was useless. The professors provided almost no direction, nor did they actually instruct or teach. An example of this would be my Software App. And Design (ISM -464A) class. The professors told us to research everything because this is how it works in the "real world." There are two problems I have with this line of thought other than the blatant laziness of the professor. First, I am not a programmer, I am trying to learn how to program and code. Second, I am paying the professors to teach me how to program and code. If I wanted to research how to code and learn it on my own, I would have. Instead, I decided to enroll in a college class to learn how to code. Almost all of my professors have been similar in their approach to teaching, telling me to "research it" rather than teaching. With the exception of one professor, none have taught me anything. In my opinion, save your money and go to a school with real educators.
