I have wasted enough time and money. Go to Argosy if you don't really want to learn and have no self respect. As for me, I am taking my loan money some place else. A place that is made for learning, not just out for profits. I have been enrolled at Argosy Online for almost 2 years. My GPA is great. As others have mentioned the turn-over for counselors happens, but I have only had 2 academic and 2 finance counselors so far. My academic counselor is great! He calls every weeks just to check in and make sure everything is going well.

If he sees a change in my grades he also calls. As for the education experience, it is up to you to do the learning. You have to do all the readings and lectures on your own! If you don't you will not learn. As for anyone failing or not learning I believe it is because of laziness.

I have ran into some really hard instructors and some that were just flat out lazy. But, overall, I have had a great experience. I don't like campus schools and I have 2 children at home and do not wish to put them into daycare to pursue an education.

So, Argosy was a great option for me. I also knew before enrolling that I wanted a psychology degree. Make sure you know what you are getting into beforehand. I was student at argosy for 6 years. When the financial aid ran out.. I was in the dissertataion process. If I had it to do again, I would not choose this school. I wish I would of listened when I heard the horrible reputation of this school.

Of the radiology program, only one teacher actually showed that she cared about her students, the others did not care if you passed, failed or actually learned anything. These teachers do not have teaching degrees, therefore they have NO idea how to teach a class. They will just read sentence-for-sentence out of the textbook when lecturing and have extremely high expectations for the tests.

If a class is going to be graded so strictly, I don't expect the class to be taught so casually. Very unprofessional, especially when the instructor cannot pronounce simple medical terminology and relys on the students for proper pronouncing to teach the class.

The intro class does an extremely poor job to prepare students for the program, leaving them angry. Just come sit in the lunchroom someday and listen to the groups of people around you. It's not just this program that sucks, everybody complains about this school! Theh just want your money! And when you try to drop your classes once you've realized how much this school sucks, they will try to charge you an "adjustment tuition" for dropping classes.

What school does this?! I went to Argosy for about a year. I was pressured into going to school online. I had just had a baby and going to a campus school was really hard for me at the time, because I was not working and could not pay for daycare. I did a little research, and found Argosy.

At first, it seemed like a pretty good school. After a few months, I decided that I wanted to go back to a campus. My son was a little older, and I was working so I could pay for daycare. They started withdrawing me from my class without my permission. Mind you, I had not completed any official withdrawal paperwork with the school.

So, I had to call the school, explain to them that I HAD not yet withdrawn, and to let me finish the class. They fixed the problem and I was able to access the class again, but after a few days, I was withdrawn from the class again without my permission.

So, I made another phone call and they let me access the class forum again. After the third time, I said screw Argosy and let it happen. When all this mess was their fault in the first place!

I refuse to pay it I never did an official withdrawl, and everytime I called to complain, they said that I had to have documents from my conversations with the people I spoke to at Argosy about them withdrawing me how the hell am I supposed to get transcripts of a conversation???? DO NOT waste your time, money, or energy with this school. Go somewhere else for an online program. Trust me, you'll be better off in the long run. Because once you hint at moving to a new school, they'll figure out ways to screw you three ways from Sunday.

Thanks Argosy "University". You all suck at life. I cannot imagine a school with lower academic standards. This is the lowest quality education you will find. They change to a five-week class schedule in Fall , which was a terrible idea and I never would have enrolled in a school that only spent five weeks on a subject.

If you want to skate through classes taught by incompetent instructors and be awarded a degree without learning anything, then by all means, enroll at argosy. If you want a degree that you can be proud of, go somewhere else. Do not waste your time or money at this school. I would never, under any circumstance, recommend anyone to even contemplate spending time or money at this "institution. Argosy did nothing but make my life a complete and utter mess from start to finish, and managed to screw up every single detail along the way.

There were times where I said, "Ok, this has to be their last mistake. No one provides any guidance there, and chances are you-- no matter your IQ-- are smarter and more capable of fixing your problem than they are.

Every person except for Dr. Carol Tolson Dean of Education was lazy and incompetent. If you think I am ranting, allow me to give you some examples of all of the mistakes during my program. I have every email and can name names. Oh, another lovely memory: one of the education professors who they fired toward the end of my program randomly called me the next day and yelled at me for 10 minutes because I was allowing the Dean of Education to finally place me in a school since he had been let go.

I had to immediately alert the Dean and she apologized, said he was just bitter and out of line. Also, because they were so disorganized and had ruined the MA schedule of classes by not even understanding their own progression rules, I had to petition to take the final few courses in my program independently because that was the only option in order to graduate on time. What a waste. These people need a lawsuit brought against them.

They are stealing your money. I have graduated and while I understand it is a terminal degree with very little in the way of real world meaning. I do believe that you get out of it what you put into it. I didn't do it for licensure, I did it to improve my understanding in a variety of areas.

While the education was expensive, there are no programs like this in Kansas so I didn't have a lot of choice. I rated the program high overall because the work was challenging if you took it seriously as was the comprehensive evaluation which many of my classmates didn't pass.

Also, while I had a few teachers who were distant and unresponsive, for the most part I had excellent teachers with a lot of experience to share. However as previously stated they facilitate discussions and not so much teach, as that is more self guided. However this is something I liked because I would rather read the information.

As for support from the academic advisors and financial advisors, there is none, and the turnover is ridiculous. I only rated them a two because they were prompt in calling back. The only administrator I had good luck with was the individual who did my admission and I kept in touch with her all the way through. While they are a for-profit and some things are certainly questionable, I had a positive experience class wise but I would suggest knowing what your goals are at the end as that could certainly effect if Argosy is the program for you.

Just remember you get what you put into it! I will decide going forward what I want to do but I know for me Argosy allowed me to accomplish what I intended to do.

I am a 4th year PyD student at the DC campus. I did not know there were entire programs online???? George Washington University PsyD program is not even ranked in the top You have to work hard to do well.

Thats why its a doctorate. During the course of this experience, I have had approximately six academic counselors and just as many finance counselors. Moreover, each change resulted in them being clueless as to what had occurred prior. I initially transferred from the University of Phoenix since I had obtained two degrees from them; I thought a change was needed.

Therefore, when Argosy's representative called and called, the picture she presented was worst the change. Changing universities did expand my educational insight, but selecting Argosy was the worst. Having dental work would have been less painful and confusing. A residency is a JOKE, a very expensive joke. Waste of time and money. Anyone interesting in Argosy should really, really does their research. I am so happy Argosy Atlanta is "sunsetting" the Education Department.

This is something that should have happened years ago. Not to mention extremely expensive. I did not expect the program to be easily, I wanted a challenge. My problem was the inconsistency of the program and the attrition of the professors. During my final dissertation process I had five dissertation chairs because of chairs getting fired, quitting, case overload, or illness.

Each time I received a new chair of course that meant new changes to my dissertation. It took me years to finish and thousands dollars. MBA and still no job. Beginning to forget what I learned. It was a was of time and money due to the economy. My manager with a B. Now I am either over qualified or under qualified. It amazes me the different opinions on this board.

I believe that there is always good and bad even in the best of schools. My experience has not been good for the most part but I haven't given it much time.

One thing that I have noticed is people say, Argosy is not like this or that school. Of course not. It is Argosy. Even the bad experiences can be a learning experience if we chose to make them so. Life is not always good nor bad. It is both. One can always be positive or negative or both. I am not sure if I am going to stay.

Time will tell. Some of the best times of my life are when things started out badly and got good with time. It can go the other way too. College students are suppose to know how to address issues with administration above the people that they are dealing with.

That is part of being educated. Giving it a little more time. I contacted this school to potentially complete my Bachelors. I have a ton of units and was comparing schools to see what would be best and take the most of my units. The admissions rep Cindy told me to bring my transcripts and she would get them evaluated and tell me exactly what will transfer. My fiance and I went in, wasted 2 hours for her to just walk out and walk back in and say oh, you will have 60 easy transfer according to her supervisor, no worries.

Didnt take it to get evaluated properly. When I asked for that proper eval she promissed, she said they dont do that. Then while on the tour, someone in that department said "oh, you should have your transcripts evaluated to see what will transfer". But again, back in her office, "we dont do that". And than, we hardly learned anything about the school, but more about who Cindy has worked for, who she cant stand, how bad the OC campus is..

Then try and call to speak to someone and try to GET good info I WONT be attending this school, they eliminated themselves! This school seems to push a lot of ethics and professionalism classes on its students but when it comes down to it they aren't even close to being these things at all.

The financial department won't certify student's loans until they absolutely have to.. They would probably put one of their students on the street because of this. After talking to financial aid at the campus they seemed to be just as frustrated and angry about the situation as I was, telling me not even our campus president could do anything about the situation. The campus I tend isn't too bad, the program is great, the overall organization is not.

I transfer from another school the end of last year, and I have to say that every single class I have taken so far I'm either dealing with that situation or I just came out of situation where I have grown!. I am loving Argosy!! Even when I began to struggle a little the whole team was patient and understanding! Because of this my GPA is rising to the top, and begin a 40 yrs old mother of 3 grown sons I have to say I still got it and Argosy is helping me make it happen!

Blessed Student! Normally the classes are 5 weeks long but I had to take a 15 week course in order to get my fulkl benefits.

I did not mind this but what was bad about it was that I was in the class all by myself. It was awkward and I did not learn anything.

Most of my classes had 3 or 4 people in it and only 1 or 2 would show up to class at a time. This school is not good for military. They charge the entire year of tuition the first semester leaving no money from loans to live on! And tell me this 5 weeks into class after lying and telling me they charge only the semester's tuition. Constant lies from financial aid department "3 weeks til disbursement" It has been problem after problem in financial aid department since starting there for the past 2 years The Argosy faculty and the Argosy institution did not do this for me.

I did this on my own. Many of my classmates entered the program just to "get the degree" and get out. They are the ones who have tough interviews and are not being taken seriously as academic scholars. It took me 2. Some of classmates "completed" their dissertation in one year -- how???

By doing just the minimum. The faculty are educating doctoral students-- not undergrads or grad students. If you are expecting hand-holding, a handout for a hand up By the time you attend for 2 or 3 semesters and the apathy and passive-aggressiveness of the professors and staff becomes apparent, you have already invested so much time and money in the program that you feel like it's too late to start over elsewhere. I echo the other comments that the Director of Training is a bully.

He is arrogant and thoughtless; ironically the picture of a classic narcissist. He thinks he is God at this campus and that his word is law. He lords his power over students and is petty and retaliatory towards the slightest perceived disagreement. What an awful, sad man. As long as he is around, websites like this will continue to rack up negative comments about him and the school. Financial Aid at this school is a freaking nightmare.

The Financial Aid officer brings incompetence to a new low. She is noncommunicative and if she does miraculously answer your questions, beware - her information is often incorrect.

You have been warned. The quality of education you receive will depend entirely on two things: 1 Which instructor you get; some are competent and some are not. Instructor turnover is high so you never know if you are getting a good teacher or someone with no clue how to teach. Read books outside of class. Take advantage of your Practicum placement to talk with other professionals. Overall, I would NOT recommend this school to anyone. Poor business practices and political in-fighting between instructors that trickles down to students and affects quality are the norm here.

I have an MA in Forensic Psychology from this school. I graduated with a 4. I was one of the few who actually researched the assignments, did not plagiarize, and traveled to meet with the various assigned persons. When I was unable to find a job, and head over heels in debt, I finally learned the facts. There is no recognized degree in Psychology at the masters level. A forensic degree is generally attained after both completing an APA accredited program, receiving an exemplary PHD, and either accomplishing a great deal in the field or pursuing lengthy studies.

The school is neck deep in law suits. These include one by the Department of Justice seeking repayment of 12 Billion dollars in loans fraudulently extracted from students.

The school is being investigated by several accreditation agencies. Enroll at your own risk, but you need only search this web under the parent company name EDMC to find out for yourself. For me, well I have that doctorate now, I also have a masters from a real school. Nobody would accept my credits for transfer and nobody would recognize the degree.

When I was able to take forensic courses electives at the end of a long road to my PHD I found that I did not even have the basics and the materials I had been taught were either obsolete or had no value in the field. Good luck, but try to find a real school, where you interface with real professors, real students, and get to use a real library.

Horrible staff. The teachers aren't too bad. I went to the Atlanta campus and did the online and weekend classes program.

The financial aid, student services, hell the entire administrative staff are just horrible. I failed my first class was getting used to the online dynamics and my second class I mad a B in, I registered for next semester and about 3 weeks of being registered with all my info together I saw I was dropped.

They dropped me after two classes because my GPA was low, but I only took 2 classes! Bad part was I was still receiving emails, I hadn't known they dismissed me until I had to practically hound 7 people over the phone. Figured it was a ploy to get money. I am in the process of switching Universities. Bad thing is I read these reviews before I went and said it can't be that bad. BUT I see now they were all accurate. This University is full of bs and completely not worth the time. They need all campuses shut down immediately!

I am currently half way though the Forensic Psychology MA program. I would say it's really hit or miss with instructors. I have had good and bad. I attend the Sarasota campus and have had a great experience there overall. With Argosy being somewhat of alternative for many adults, the many online only instructors lack empathy.

Late work is graded very unfair. If submitted more then 3 days late in my last course you received a letter grade "F". Recently, I took a research course and I had a terminally ill family member sister the instructor showed no empathy even with my updated communication.

Also, the attendance policy has changed and you are required to be in a course every session or you will be dropped and you are charged for courses regardless of registering for courses I would only recommend this program to someone who has no other option and can attend the blended only courses.

The Sarasota program has been positive. I have learned so much from most professors, the ones that helped me through all the bumps and curves were Drs.

Roedel and Moore. I feel it is important to have professors that would be willing to push and challenge students so that they can succeed in life. I owe my graditude to Dr. Bill Roedel and Dr. David Moore. Without them, I would not be where I am. All I want to say is, the school and everyone is doing the best that they can I have attended and graduated there so my words are from first hand experience. Thank you!

I attend Argosy Los Angeles and am at the end of my degree program. Now I will say when I started Argosy wasnt a bad school but over the years boy has it gone down. My complaint now is about the financial aid office. I know the laws changed this year etc but they have not once given an update about financial aid. The summer session started May 7. It is now August 7 3 months later and still no financial aid! Many of us depend on those stipends to get through grad school, times are tough and we would just like to finish our programs.
