National UniversityReviews of nu.edu

My rating scheme with National University would be 4 stars. This has been challenging, but honestly has been fun for me. My 40+ years of experience have been my strength throughout it all.

My professors have been great, for the most part, although, some do not get back to students quickly enough. I have had a bad experience getting assistance through NU in regard to the Praxis requirement for Ed. School Counseling PPC credential. Other universities do not have the Praxis exam requirement, therefore, I was expecting NU to be more supportive in helping students pass this exam by providing resources or workshops for students. However, that has not been the case.

I like the convenience of the accelerated MA program. The classes are structured but still relatively flexible, which was helpful to work around the rest of my life. I do find it tricky that the professor you may get for a class doesn't necessarily write the lesson plan, so there were some inconsistencies between policies and formatting preferences of professors and the class syllabus. But overall I would recommend this program.

The school is fast paced and the work load seems to be a lot in some classes but its work that you have to spread out at your own pace. The professors are very open to hear you questions and concerns during the course. The school offers different services such as online tutors to help you with your essay's ideas, sources, and class related problems. I've been in for a year and have gotten 12 classes done so far. The classes go by quick and there are classes I really enjoyed when it came to doing essays.

I have had a mostly positive experience. Only one particular teacher who graded harshly on discussion replies because they were not spread out over 3 days. I attend National because I work and parent full time and can only do homework, discussions and study during particular hours. This teacher would grade discussions at 60-70% because the replies weren’t spread out.

Aside from a slightly rocky start at the university, everything has been smooth sailing for the past 18 months! Staff have been friendly and helpful, teachers thorough, fair and balanced. A great experience!

NU is convenient for students working and have families. The courses are doable and good content based material. The professors are helpful.

I would have liked nursing school options to be available at night and weekends. I would have been able to get my nursing degree if the program was available at night. I know 10’s of active duty Sailors say the same thing.
