CSU Global (Colorado State University Global)Reviews of csuglobal.edu

Everything was great, the teachers and the staff were easy to reach and responded quickly and understandingly to anything I might of had questions about.

CSU Global was a phenomenal experience. I learned up-to-date, applicable skills relevant to my field of interest. I was also able to explore other fields through electives, which ultimately led me to a passion for social science and policy research. The faculty at CSU Global is experienced, inspiring, responsive, and encouraging. As a non-traditional student and full-time working adult, CSU Global provided me with flexibility, affordability, and the space for creativity. If you're looking for an innovative and accredited online university, CSU Global is a great choice! You will get back what you put into it.

I studied at CSU Global and got my diploma in Computer Science in 2024. Here’s my review: Professors that I encountered didn’t seem to care much. Course contents/announcements were often copied and pasted incorrectly either from a past term or from an entirely different course, which often makes things super confusing. It is unlikely to get much out of a course even if you put good effort into it. The way they structure it is just not meant for gaining in-depth knowledge. Any course that gives good learning opportunity would require at minimum a certain level of consistency and constructive feedback. Sadly I don’t see CSU global courses being able to achieve that. If you submit any work on time, in my experience, 90%+ professors would give you full credit regardless of the quality of your work. That is no good for learning in my opinion. This also means that you don’t get much useful feedbacks from your professors. There is this discussion board that everyone would have to post and respond, most of the time you don’t get anything out of the discussions, because people don’t put much thought into them and discussions would end half way because everyone has moved on to the next week’s topic. So, in my opinion, not good for learning but great for getting a diploma with minimal effort.

I learn a lot, I feel confidence to develop my project management skills

I’m not a fan of online learning since the take away is all self directed. However, once I settled into a cadence, it worked ok. Some professors were better at engaging, than others. There were many classes I felt instructors had pre-loaded all content and treated the teaching as rote work. Pretty sad since we can learn from them yet they chose to take the less time intensive option. I enjoyed those who engaged more, actually read my work and provided useful input. The capstone process of creating the final thesis was unnecessary and a repeat of creating our thesis in the previous class. Just a fancy way of getting more hours and $ from students. I didn’t like the requirement to take 2-3 speciality classes since none directly correlated to my area of interest. I have saved many useful charts and reference materials for future use and do feel I learned new content along the way. For busy professionals, the online process can be squeezed in easier than having to attend classes in person. Having 1 session to meet everyone virtually via zoom would have helped me connect with other students an each professor better. I’m done, accomplished my goal and put in the time I wanted for a quality education! I appreciated this opportunity for learning. Thank you.

The Gen Ed course support from instructors was excellent. Course and program support for BSCS was poor to nonexistent. Core program instructors and the program director appear to be there for some extra side-hustle money. I had minimal programming in a BSCS program and did not feel ready for the next steps in natural progression from an undergraduate program. Theory instruction is good but requires practical lab and instruction follow-up.

I was satisfied with the education I received for my bachelors degree, and may return for my masters someday. The classes were challenging but manageable, professors provided good structure and feedback, and the ability to do it 100% online without ever actually having to go into a classroom was very important since I travel a lot for work and dont live near a campus.

I struggled with the correct direction for a masters degree program. I spoke with a career counselor with the school summer of 2016. I completed a degree in Organizational leadership with a specialty in HR in 2018 to hopefully work within staff training. I was unable to find a career still in staff training in 2020. I then met with another career counselor to know if I needed a certificate in HR or what would help find a better career and was told to complete another masters in HR. Here is it 2025, I have two master degrees from CSU Global and still do not have a career in my education field. It was a waste of money twice now. Great program but the career counselors are more like sales people.
