    Glendale university
    I have been thinking about Glendale University for awhile now. I haven't found anything wrong with the school. I live in Flordia and there is no reason on why I can't use the degree. I travel a lot. I have my B.A. from N.Y.U. in NewYorkCity. I tried obatinning my M.B.A. but couldn't do it for empolyment reasons. I have taken some M.B.A. courses. I had to drop out because of the stress of handling a fulltime job, family, and school. All the of the programs are fulltime programs that I am aware off. My best odds is to take calsses online. I almost felt for Kennedy western university scams. I notice through the process that the school was a scam and a degree mill. After that I have been very picky on every school and I redo research over and over again. I have done this for Glendale University and Ashworth College. I have the skill of an M.B.A. empolyee. I need the degree to advance on my career. I don't want to break any laws or become a fraud. That is why I am not sure about either schools. Which I haven't found anything bad about. Iam 25,000 in the hole in student loans. Price is a factor. I need a afforable school. I can't be scam or try to become a fraud. I really need a lot of help and advice in this matter. I lost $50 applying to K.W.U. It could have been worst. I could have lost $8,000 for a worthless degree. I need a school that I can finsih on a year. I know that my spelling is terrible. Iam cooking and babysitting. Thank you in advice for any help.

    If you want to just give you money away, send it to me and I will type you up a degree to hang on the wall worth as much as the one they will send you.

    Don't waste you time on them, they are about the biggest rip off dipomia mill on the market today. There are a lot of good online schools, they are not one of them.

    Next I will add, it will take as long as it takes, one year, two year , three year. Look for schools that have real acrediation.

    I do hope that you are really wanting to find a school, most of the posts about this school are always from someone who has just signed onto this site and the same people never post again. Has always appeared to be a very poor attempt at advertising. This school has never gotten good references from anyone on this site. And in general any even limited search will find so much bad about them it is easy to see they merely sell degrees.

    school
    This school just has a history of some new poster signing up and the same day they sign up they post a question about the school, then the poster never asks another question or comment.

    The problem is that this school is not accredited by any real agency and the basically only sell degrees, They will issue you one from life experence if you merely pay a fee.

    This type of school is only for someone not really wanting to learn something but wanting a piece of paper on the wall to brag about.

    While someone not actually review a resume closely may accept this, it would have little real value for any job requireing actual college training and degree.

    And yes, this is one of the lowest forms of colleges and a real disgrace to online learning and one of the type of schools that hurt all of those really wanting to learn on line.

    Seems OK
    I had not previously heard of this school, but in my several web searches did not bring up hardly any complaints on the school ( you will always find some complaints on any school)

    The US military seems to accept their school and even pays part of the tutition for the school.

    Now again, I can't give it 10 stars, since I had never really heard of it till today but in the short searches I did, nothing negative jumped at me.

    I would check with the BBB in the city where the school is located and of course if you want your degree for any type of licence or certification, check with that board to see if they accept this school also.

    Its students it has successfully placed. Remember, no school can
    Guarantee employment. You may also wish to check if the school
    Is accredited by a nationally recognized accrediting agency.
    Finally, fully understand all the terms of the enrollment
    Agreement and the total amount you will be paying. All details,
    Including any oral promises, should be included in a written

    The main part that I like is that the BBB states they have replied to all complaints brought to them by the BBB. Every school, business, or group will have someone not happy with something, so like I did say, just because someone has had complaints does not mean it is bad.

    For example our business has about 12000 sales a year and most likely double that number is service calls. So we have lets say 36000 customer contacts a year. If 100 people complained ( which they don't) that is not a bad percent, and if we respond and try to solve the issue, we will not always settle it to what everyone thinks they deserve but do the best we can.

    And under some of the other names I have heard of them and the people I know have been happy with them.

    Now my opinion is not worth much but yes I would say I would be happy with what I read.

    Perhaps they would offer me a free course as a sponsor, nah, just a though.

    And yes, I can recommend them on everything I have read and seen so far.

    ** not liable of course for being wrong

    I believe frior chuck is correct - I applied to the school and was accepted the same day - they did not ask for transcripts or anything - then I received an email directing me to go to payment - less than a week later I get an email asking if I want to order my diploma it seems to be a degree mill

    I attended Ashworth for three years. Worst experience ever with them. The best thing is a lot of schools will accept my credits but I wasted a lot of time with that school. The assignments were easy and I breezed through the classes. Yet, when it was time to take exams my proctors never heard from the school. Then I seem to always be paying but not getting closer to my degree. It seem to be the best and cheapest online school but unfortunately 3 years later I still don't have my degree after all that time and money invested. I am looking for a school as well not a diploma mill but make sure you check out RIP OFF.com to verify any schools. Everyone has something negative about them somewhere and ASHWORTH is really torn apart on that site. I wish I would have read it before. I am likely one of the 12 people to report them to the Atlanta BBB.

    The NCLAC is a fake accrediting agency. Please do the research. Glendale University which claims to be based out of Glendale, Arizona doesn't exist. Just off the phone with the Deputy Director/Investigator for Arizona State Board for Post secondary Education. This is a diploma mill school!
