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

I thoroughly enjoy the experience of the courses as well as the self-paced format that allows me as a mother to create a schedule for life and education.

I really enjoyed the course work, professors and online format of the classes at CSU Global. From that standpoint, I would give more stars. But part of my experience has been impacted by not knowing what to expect from y success advisor, and feeling like there could be more advice/guidance. AS an example, I know that CSU Global offers higher degrees in Business, and I asked my success advisor how people decide if they should pursue a higher degree, and was directed to the online catalog. I wasn't looking for a list of classes or pre-packaged information, I was looking for help deciding what my next steps should be, and if they should include additional schooling. Having said that, my success advisor was very responsive and helpful when doing things like enrolling in classes for the upcoming semester.

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 instructors were accessible and appeared to be unbiased.

CSU Global allowed me to finally finish my Bachelor’s in Business Management, after trying for many years. I completed it while working full time and learned so much. I love the 8-week format, which allowed me to take up to 4 classes per semester. I couldn’t have done that with a traditional format while working FT. Most of the instructors are experts in their fields, engaging, and really care about their students. The only negative is being required to do discussion posts every week and for every class. These felt like mini-research assignments, on top of other research assignments. There are other, less time-consuming ways to gauge meeting learning objectives.

Good repeatable framework. Process is solid. Professors are responsive. And my success counselor was just awesome and always had the answers my questions.

I feel there needs to be more hands on in addition to the papers!

Towards the end of my degree the classes were not as engaging as in the beginning. Overall a good experience and education.
