I transferred to another university and currently still on track to graduate this year. The communication or shall I say the lack of communication is horrible. I would not pay for another class or attend again. If the professor would have communicated the whole situation could have been resolve between the professor and myself.

Borderline Insulted. I have never received such a poor education experience. Courses are insultingly disorganized. They only care about their research projects. Zero time to actually read material. Severely restricted student resources. NO way. I have only the capstone left. All the classes have been discussion post due on Wednesday, Quiz and Homework.

Have I learned anything? I have just spent an unrealistic amount of time on the class assignments, forget getting to the reading and lectures. I can't count the times I've been frustrated by no explicit instructions, no examples, and being docked points for annoying things.

I could go into them, but UTA has wasted enough of my time as is. At the time I started the program I was a Texas resident, halfway through my program in I relocated to Washington State I continued to take courses through At this point I only had two courses left to complete to earn my BSN. I went through the admission process for readmit and paid my application fee only to be told that the state I currently reside in Washington is not eligible to participate in the program.

Apparently this program is only accredited in 47 states, Washington not being one of them! So where am I now? UTA has been a complete waste of my time and hard earned money. UTA's response? Yes they did refund me my application fee for readmission, after they've already scammed me out of thousands of dollars.

Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere. I am taking online courses due to working full time and having a family. I have taken six courses over a 3 semester period. Had a problem 3 different times in 3 different classes. The first one, I had a family member pass away unexpectedly and was going to be gone from Friday-Sunday with no internet. I let my coach know and she told me to send something showing that I someone passed or was having a funeral.

Ok, no problem, I sent her the obituary, she gave the information to the instructor, and they gave me until the next weekend to get my assignment turned in. The second problem I had was when I was taking a timed quiz with 25 questions, I got through the 4th question and it froze.

I ended up having to shut it all down and sign back in. By the time I got back to the quiz, there was only a few minutes left. I only made it through question six and the rest were counted wrong. I made a Waited a week for her to figure it out then contacted the instructor. She told me there was nothing she could do about it, that it was too late. Then there is the 3rd. I sent in an assignment, the program told me it was received, so I go back 3 days later to see what my final grade is and it shows my assignment was never received.

I notified the coach and the instructor. The coach said I should have made sure the assignment was turned in and the instructor told me it was too late, she had to turn the grades in. They know there are going to be problems at some point with online courses between using windows or IOS, the internet, and canvas. I am not paying another dime to these people. You will have to take at least five to six additional classes even if you have a previous bachelor's.

If you need help, good luck. There is an advising team but you will never speak to the same person twice. The rules for this program are different than the rules for UTA in general. I dropped a five week class based on what was posted on the UTA drop class page and I dropped prior to the drop date, approximately one week into the class.

When I contacted the advisor she said "you shouldn't have been allowed to drop-it should have redirected you to an advisor for prior approval but I do see the class has been dropped". I asked if it was possible to re-enroll. She said "No". This is the very next morning. I said "but you said I shouldn't even have been allowed to drop the class-now you can't help me even though it was a glitch in your system".

She replied with "that's correct". And that has been my experience with this entire program. They take your money. You simply pay for the those credentials after your name. No one cares about you or your nursing career. You do busy work, learn very little material and certainly nothing you will use in your practice.

It is a scam and there is a reason three states do not even recognize this program. The admissions process is very easy, the classes themselves for the most part aren't bad.

The student support is subpar at best, though which isn't an issue if you can self teach and navigate the courses on your own , often academic coaches in classes don't answer questions in a timely fashion if you're in an accelerated class that's only 5wks long, you better ask all of your questions at the start of the week because you may not hear back until the day before the assignment s due date.

Texas has a lot of state specific requirements that you will not be told about up front two history classes, two political science classes, a technical writing course that has an English writing prerequisite class that you have to take before you're able to enroll into one of the core nursing classes, and more than likely a contemporary math class which is a requirement to take for the same nursing class..

They also advertise that you can get your BSN done in as few as nine months! Sounds really great, especially for those of us working full time and just want to be done with school.

However, you will find that even going full time, you will more than likely not be done anywhere near nine months. I found out a YEAR into my program yes, i said a year that i needed a total of twenty classes.

This is because the advising team is horrible, they will schedule appointments with you and then not reach out to you, if you do get through to someone, the phone line often gets disconnected and no one will call you back. I have never gotten a response from them via email, despite how much they claim to always be easily reachable.

Each advisor i speak with states i need more classes to satisfy requirements not listed on my degree map. I thought i had two semesters left, turns out i have three.. Previous: About This Project. Next: Chapter One: Beginning a research project. Share This Book Share on Twitter.
