Have you thought about taking courses online to earn your degree, but are too skeptic about the validity of the program? Well, here is one school which has surpassed my expectations for obtaining my Bachelor's of Science in Criminal Justice. Colorado Technical University Online has one of the best criminal justice programs and best of all everything is done from the comfort of your own home.

When I first started to get serious about my education and future, I was a recent Army veteran, married to a soldier, and had a seventh month old daughter with number two on the way. I knew I needed to pursue my education, but I also needed the flexibility to take on all of my other roles besides being a student. This is when I began exploring the possibility of obtaining my degree online. I found multitudes of universities offering various degree programs, but some seemed pricy while others lacked curriculum and experience. Finally, I decided CTU Online had the best program which offered me the most.

It started out with my filling out a form (online) with my contact information and degree path interest. Within 24 hours, I received a phone call from one of the admissions advisors who was more than happy to answer every question. The biggest concern I had was with accreditation. When the admissions advisor told me CTU held the same accreditation as Ivy League schools, I knew this was the right school for me. After giving the admissions advisor some more information about why I wanted to pursue my degree online and what motivates me, I was asked to fill out the application. I was astounded at the rate in which my application was reviewed and within a few days I received a phone call informing me I was accepted into their program.

After reading these reviews I am very worried about using CTU Online program. Are there better online programs that I can find for a business degree?

(cont) the system and all the work I did during that first week of class - I was not listed as a current student in their computer. I would NEVER recommend this college to anyone. Online classes are convenient, but CTU is NOT worth the headache.

(cont) keeping up with my group assignments. I decided that wasn't worth being a CTU student and decided to go to a local college. I mailed a transcript request to them to send to my current school. Over a month went by and no receipt of the transcript. Finally called them and was told that they never received it, but then again, they've had a high staff turn over (go figure). So who knows where it ended up. The department I talked to gave me all the information to fax over another request - but no mention of a fee. So one week after the request was faxed, I get an email saying that they have a fee and the transcript will be sent after the payment clears - 3-5 days AFTER receiving payment (even by credit card). I've learned that CTU may be wonderful if you are a current student. You end up off that list, and they don't give a damn. Even with my mess up of being deleted from the system to being a current student to withdrawn, they didn't care if I was bumped out of the system and all t

I attended CTU online last year. I didn't have to crack open a book unless it was for my own personal knowledge because I could find all the research I needed over the internet. I had withdrawn from a set of classes and reinlisted for the next set of classes. Well into the first week, SOMEHOW, my information was deleted. I was no longer a student and was told I was not reinlisted, never had, none of my information was up to date, my major change wasn't in the computer system, my advisor change wasn't in the system, even my financial aid information was gone. It was if someone just clicked on my name and hit delete. I spent 3-4 days sending all the emails back and fourth from financial aid, my advisor, everyone just to show I was a current student. FINALLY, they got me back into the classes, but the wrong classes (I sent previous emails from the instructors to prove I was in their classes). By the time I was back into my correct classes, I was so far behind in my assignments and barely

This review is not fake and I am certainly not an employee of CTU. I just recently graduated from their CJ program in November. I enjoyed it. I agree it is not for everyone.

This review sounds fake. I'm sure the reviewer probably works for CTU. lol. Anyway, I'm currently a student at CTU and I have to admit that I'm really suprised at how little we ever do any tests or take quizes. The classes last only 5 to 6 weeks so they cram just about everything in that short periode of time so if you don't keep up with the work then you can quickly fall behind in a mountain of frustration. Its not for everyone
