Benedictine University Reviews

"I loved Benedictine University. I attended a cohort program which allowed be to finish my program in less than two years. I deicided to continue on for my doctorate degree because of this univesity. It is also one of the best valued universities in the country. The faculty is supportive and it is very advanced in technology."

"I chose Benedictine for their history of academic excellence, and what I thought was their flexible online program. I am an American living abroad and travel extensively with my job and require professors that can accept an occasionally late assignment when my real job gets in the way of my schoolwork. If I had the free time, I would have attended a traditional school.Beyond a few professors that are rigid in their grading habits, the worst part about the program is that their concentration courses to specialize your MBA (in Finance, International Business, etc...) are offered every other session when you are trying to finish the degree. This means that although you have only one or two classes left to degree completion, you must delay your graduation date until they offer your required class again. The absurd policy of adding or dropping a class within 3 days of the class start date also is not flexible. The motivation for me to write this review is based upon the fact I just moved back to the US, tried to register for a class that started last week and was told I will have to wait until March 2012 to take the class because it is not offered next session, either.Other competing schools are MUCH more flexible. The flexibility is the key to an online degree program, and it does not exist with Benedictine. It is a shame because Benedictine has a good reputation as a University, and some of the support staff that you will work with from the school are fantastic, but the policies are written against the non-traditional student."

"Benedictine University is one of the worse schools to go to. Once you get in the school they don't answer the phones or your e-mails. If you have taken have your classes to get to graduation just suffer until you finish. Pray that god punishes the mean person that would not help you in academic advising and in the financial aide department. Watch what you say they will punish you at all cost. They will place the silent treatment on you or mess up your financial aide. People!!! have you ever seen someone with financial aid all of a suddent have a all of a sudden bill that they did not make? Do not deal with these monsters. I think they are relatives working together, no one ever gets in trouble for their bad behavior on the phone when they speak to you."
