   HORRIBLE! Don’t EVER attend Keller Graduate school. I enrolled for a class in July of last year (2008)for their Business Administration MBA program. I had to drop the class the first week due to family obligations….I’ve been fighting with their financial aid department for the last 6 MONTHS to get the issues resolved…#1) They are trying to charge me almost $700 for an online class that I never even logged into. #2) I applied for a student loan from Wachovia to pay for the class…Wachovia ended up dispersing over $2,000 to Keller before I could cancel it. I’ve been trying to get the money returned to Wachovia from Keller for the past 6 months without success. I’ve spent COUNTLESS hours on the phone with NUMEROUS people at Keller who either didn’t know how to help me, or didn’t care to help me. The sad thing is…I’ve already spent over $40,000.00 with them obtaining my Bachelor’s degree through DeVry University. You would think that they would show me better service after having chosen them to obtain my Masters degree (esp. since there are countless other schools that I could have chosen that are not as over priced as Keller), but Keller is just too concerned about money and not at all concerned about the student. I WILL NEVER ATEMPT TO TAKE A CLASS WITH KELLER GRADUATE SCHOOL BASED ON THIS INITIAL EXERIENCE AND THOUGHT IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR ALL OF YOU POTENTIAL STUDENTS TO SEE WHAT KELLER IS REALLY ABOUT. ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS GETTING YOUR MONEY. THEY COULD CARE LESS ABOUT THE QUALITY OF EDUCATION YOU GET!!!!!! BEWARE!

   I am sorry you had a bad experience. I have been at Keller since Sept. 08, going for my MBA/CPA and only taking a class per session.

   I absolutely love it and I am having a better learning experience here and I am challenged more than I believe I hade been through my undergrad. experience at U of WA.

   To be honest, if you going for the MBA only (not accounting), and are taking out loans (as am I) and your company is not paying for you to go, I probably would go elsewhere because school reputation is HUGE in today’s highly competitive economy. (That is, unless, your current employer is one you really want to stay with and they are going to offer you a fat raise based on MBA regardless of your school choice.) However, if like me you are tired of dead end admin jobs, and you want a career change, accounting is the way to go for sure in today’s economy. I chose the MBA/CPA route as opposed to the Master’s in Accounting/CPA route because I believe that the MBA is a more rounded and more marketable degree. Yes, it will all cost about $30K in the end… unless you get an admin job at an accounting firm halfway through school. Not hard to do, and do not be surprised if they pay for a chunk of classes and the CPA/Becker costs because they will want you.

   Keller is a pratical way to succeed and accomplish your goals without having to “quit your job and throw yourself into school” – I am 35 and more practical now and I my husband and I split the bills and so, this is not an option for me. Plus, I did not want to deal with the GRE and all that baloney.

   It has nothing to do with “taking the easy way out”… Keller has been recommended to me with high regards by accounting professors and CPAs who are not even associated with Keller. Successful CPAs and recruiting officers from large firms.

   It really all depends on what your career goals are.

   I do agree that their “student finance” department is a little “iffy” and over-eager to send large bills to students with student aid, but it all works out.

   The Keller on-site advisors, in my opinion, have been 100 percent top notch through this process.

   I am truly happy at Keller. I am a well rounded, educated and practical woman and I think it has been one of the best decisions I have made in my life.
   I am happy to answer any questions about this program. Just reply with your email.

3. 3 Devani Jan 29th, 2009 at 3:06 pm

   Hello, My name is Devani and I’m thinking about applying to Keller. I am very similiar to you in the sense that I’m tired of dead-end admin positions and I want to focus on accounting and since I have my BA in Math, i thought that would be a good choice.

   I want to know what your thoughts are on the reputation of the school and how well-respected the degree would be in the professional work place. Unlike you, I would want to pursue the MA in Accounting and focus on getting my CPA. do you think that’s a bad idea?

   Thank you so much for your posting and I look forward to hearing what you have to say.

   thanks,
   devani

   Well, Big-4 accounting firms do not recruit from Kellar. However, don’t let that dissuade you. The main thing that you need to remember is that if you have a graduate degree in anything from any accredited school, and more importantly you pass all sections of the CPA “on the first attempt” (this is my plan anyway), this will all speak for itself very highly about your capabilities. It will also prove that you have had good solid accounting courses behind you. The CPA, as you probably know, is more rigorous than MCATs or the Bar Exam and requires about 40 hours a week of study for 6 months!

   Here is the main key though… halfway through grad school it is absolutely imperative that you begin working full time (or interning, paid or unpaid, if you can afford it) **in a public accounting firm** for a good 10-12 months before sitting for the CPA. This experience, plus the degree and the exam, will give you that professional edge that you need to get into a good accounting firm. Secondly, it is a prerequisite to be a “licensed” CPA in most states. It is very possible that the firm you are working for will pay for your CPA review courses and exam if they like you.

   Network with local CPA firms and become a member of your state’s accounting society and CPA society. Check online. These memberships are not free but they open doors for you. Talk to people and network.

   The bottom line is that accounting is a degree that will pay your bills regardless of the recession. (Well, that is unless this get drastically worse!)

   Good luck

5. 5 Keller Student Jun 13th, 2009 at 6:44 pm

   I am also completing the MBA/CPA coursework but I am also going to get the MAFM as I only need 7 more classes and the extra accounting will not hurt for the CPA. I encourage anyone who thinks the coursework is not challenging to go ahead a take a course…they are not cake! The instructors are exceptional and one of my onsite profs in accounting said that the Ivy league schools all teach the same things that Keller does just you pay way more. Yes its pricey anyway, but you are investing in yourself and no one can take your degree away from you when you’re done.

6. 6 Keller Student MBA w certificate in Health Service Managemetn Jun 24th, 2009 at 8:08 pm

   I am sorry for the 1st lady who had problems, like the others I love Keller and the online forum. I am a Senior Manager of 2 buildings and mother of 3 – the company I work for recommends Devry and Keller and I am fortunate to get the corporate discount and some of the tuiton paid through my employer. I obtain my BS from Devry and Certificate in Health Service Management and now have 1 class and my Capstone to be done with my MBA, if it was not for the on-line opportunity it would not be possible for me to obtain my degrees as I live it rural America.

   This article shows that Keller Graduate School of Management working very hard for their students’ success.

8. 8 AMG Oct 2nd, 2009 at 5:04 pm

   My wife and I both graduated from Keller in 2008, I have an HR concentration from them as well, I must admit that the MBA did open doors for us, as far as the job market is concern, a lot of it has to do with how you market yourself during your interviews…grad school sometimes only proofs that you had the decication, comittment and desires to sit for a few extra years of school…both my wife and I are now pursuing doctorate degrees, I am going for a PhD and she is doing a DBA, again, both of us with our MBAs from Keller, the courses, as in any other school, some were hard and some were easy, it all depends in what area you feel more comfortable…anyways, I wish you good luck, continue your education, for those attending stick with it, and those considering Keller, it is a good learning institution.

9. 9 little me Dec 30th, 2009 at 6:19 pm

   Keller does not have a good reputation in the business community. They also don’t have business school accreditation. Most big companies won’t conside rit a “real” MBA. I’m sure you can learn a lot through the program, and if you know what you will be using the degree for great, but don’t expect it to open too many doors for you.

10. 10 MBA2005 Feb 18th, 2010 at 5:11 pm

    I graduated from Keller Graduate School of Management in June 2005 with an MBA and a Master’s degree in Network and Communications Management in August 2004. I loved the school but I have to advise that with schools, there isn’t a one size fit all program. I have to agree with a previous poster. If you are simply going for an MBA, Keller may not be the right school for you simply because many businesses are superficial and look at the name only. This may be more true for those fairly new to the workplace than seasoned veterans. Keller has some very specialized programs that are highly relevant to today’s work environment. That’s where Keller has the competitive edge on many state school’s whose brand is really made from their football team not their academic prowess. Keller has a globally recognized Project Management Program and Accounting and Finance Program that prepares it’s graduates to sit for the CPA while they earn a Master’s degree at the same time. It has a terrific technology management program as well. If a student is considering Keller, it is best to specialize or even do a dual degree. I feel I can speak about this topic better than most since I’ve been out of school for five years. I’ve received four promotions, my income has more than doubled, and I run my own real estate development company. This school gave me the skills necessary to compete in the competitive job market as well as develop and run a profitable business. I clearly have an advantage over my peers. When evaluating a school, find out is it right for you and don’t let the name of the school make the decision for you. Everyone in your workplace will not have graduate degrees. The last time I checked, less than 3% of the American workforce have MBAs so you aren’t going to be competing against 30 Harvard MBAs everytime you go on a job interview. A good number employees don’t even have college degrees more less advanced degrees. This school has capable faculty and a relevant curriculum that will set you apart from the competition.

    It is a total joke! It has nothing to do with real education. I earned my MBA. It was something between a middle school and HS. Not worthy!!!

12. 12 Eric Gubelman Mar 29th, 2010 at 7:29 pm

    I am finishing my MBA with Keller. Overall, I give them good marks, probably on a par with a decent public university. I took a mixture of class and internet courses. When I started, not too many public schools had online components, and that was a big factor for me.

    For a mid career program, I would highly recommend it. If you just coming off your BS or BA, try to get an MBA with the best rep possible, but if you are working full time and Keller fits in to your needs, be assured it is a real program requiring real work.

13. 13 MBA2005 Apr 2nd, 2010 at 3:55 pm

    The previous poster proves my point. Please don’t just get an MBA from the school. Go there with a purpose, get a specialized degree to increase your marketability. Most young MBA graduates without significant work experience are disappointed because of the lack of opportunities. Again, if you go to Keller, get a dual degree if you must get an MBA. I have a Master’s in Network and Communications Mangement along with my MBA which has really helped my career. I would be sitting in some customer service job without the Master’s in Network & Communications Management. If you don’t get a dual degree, get a specialized degree. The school has received global recognition for it’s Project Mangement degree. Those who earn a Master’s in Accounting and Financial Mangement are well prepared to sit for their CPA exam. The Network & Communications graduate program is one of the few in the country and it is really good. My point is, an MBA is a dime a dozen, and a Keller MBA alone isn’t going to open doors. If you take advantage of the unique programs and get an MBA in addition to a specialized degree, it can do wonders for your career.

14. 14 Alexis Apr 27th, 2010 at 12:10 pm

    I’m loocking for a school now in MPA focusing in nonpprofit organizations, I’m thinking go to Keller, I descouraged about UCF(state university in Florida) the program is so long and they have large classes, I don’t know because this school is so expense.

15. 15 Brandi B May 6th, 2010 at 3:55 pm

    Greetings,
    Its be interesting reading most of the postings. I’m really considering hard about attending Keller for the MAFM program. Im concern with the accrediation of the degree once I aspire to continue and go forward for a PhD will it be acceptable to public universities (e.g. Georgia State University, etc….). I aspire to continue to run my own business; however, for plan B I will love to teach college courses (community college, etc…) as well so I want to make sure this program will set me up for the right path. In addition, it seems like there are several scholarships that Keller offers. Does anyone have experience with the financial aid process and how good the scholarships are?

16. 16 Z May 7th, 2010 at 1:25 pm

    Hi I am looking to get my MBA at Keller, I have heard that a dual degree is better and the Project management and Finance is beneficial, but what about a concentration in Marketing from Keller ?

    Thanks.

    Keller has its advantages and disadvantages. I would recommend doing further research before deciding on Keller or any online program. One, if you are going into Academia, online schools are usually not held in the same regard as traditional brick and mortar schools. A simple phone call to any local school or university could answer any concerns on how they view online education, for instance, would they hire you or would the admit you in their PhD or masters program. Personally, I think Keller is best suited if you are already employed and not anticipating that a degree from Keller is going to open any doors. If you are interested in the MAFM program, make sure to get statistical information, such as, “How many Keller graduates in the MAFM program pass the CPA exam?” The likely response from any Keller institution will be Becker students pass at twice the rate of the national average. Keep in mind, the Becker program works with students, from Harvard, University of Virginia and so on. Food for Thought.

18. 18 Jonas Aug 5th, 2010 at 5:41 pm

    I can’t speak for all Keller locations, but my experience at Keller (nyc location) has been average. Like one of the comments say, do your research first.
    My complaint about Keller NYC is more about the administration, they don’t know what they are doing. I swear!
    I recommend all potential students to read the catalogue and educate themselves because when you go and ask something, it seems that they cannot answer, they don’t knoe. It is unbelievable!!!
    For example, one day I dropped my registration sheet, then I checked two days after and the girl who is in charge of registering students for the upcoming session forgot to register me. I was so upset because she cannot do a simple task and she is in charge of that, come on!
    The current dean is always on vacation and when you go and talk to him, he says: I have only a few minutes….etc etc….
    The succeful coaches (a nice title for advisers) mislead students, so students will keep taking classes forever and the school will receive money forever. The administration is just horrible.
    This is the reason why I really encourage you to read the catalogue with all the courses that you NEED to take and NOT what those advisers tell you to take.

19. 19 EOH Aug 7th, 2010 at 10:06 pm

    The one question to ask yourself (and others) when choosing a graduate school is this: Will the degree (and the institution) speak for me, or must I speak for the degree (and the school)? If it speaks for you, it inherently adds to your stature as a candidate for employment, promotion and further academic study, teaching, publishing or any profession where you hang your degrees on the wall.

    If you have to explain to a prospective employer about the school, you are speaking for it and it’s doing rather little for you. A local public school that is better known than something like Keller would be much cheaper and more effective for the job market in that localilty. A major college or university in the area will have an alumni organization and prior graduates will have created the school’s reputation so you don’t have to build up the school’s name and rankings. It’s miserable to have to convince a skeptical recruiter that you got a real education from an unfamiliar, unaccredited institution. It undermines the value and effectiveness of the “credential” you’ve worked so hard to get (and paid so much for).

    In addition, there are so many bogus on-line degree mills that you can become quite defensive trying to distinguish your on-line degree from one that is fake and worthless.

    On the other hand, as noted by other postings here, if you’re mid-career in a place where you like to work, the employer is already less concerned where you study and more concerned about what you’re learning. Likewise, if your goal is to be self-employed and run your own business, the substance of practical education, not the school’s name, is what counts. And if an on-line or part-time program works best for you, who cares if its not well-known in academia?

    One size does not fit all. Harvard MBA grads have a big advantage, true, in most parts of the world. But UNLV, or U.Kentucky, etc., etc., can be just as valuable and effective in your career path in their respective job markets. Likewise, Keller has been successful because it has worked “well enough” for many. The question then becomes, what is “good enough” for your needs?

    Good luck.

20. 20 JSG Aug 30th, 2010 at 11:33 am

    Like all colleges and universities, Keller or any other study will only provide what you wish to take from it. I agree for the most part with some of the posters here. The business community is superficial at best when it comes to hiring. They look for the prestige in a “name” before looking at the candidate for the job. This is unfortunate for many who are seeking employment. The best that I can say for anyone is to go to the college or university YOU wish to go to; one that fits your plans, and take from it the most you can. Apply yourself and make it work. Not everyone is fortunate enough to attend a brick-and-mortar (BNM)and the online courses are actually more rigorous than those in the BNMs. Everything is in a compressed time frame, yet you are given the same amount of study material. I consider myself quite fortunate to attend the online colleges and universities because I now have a bachelor, MBA, and now attending KGSB to get my MAFM with a CPA and continuing forward to get the CFE and CFA with the college. With this I plan to start my very own accounting firm.

21. 21 refilove Feb 3rd, 2011 at 5:24 pm

    which college is better Keller and NYIT ?

22. 22 emschi3 Feb 12th, 2011 at 1:48 pm

    If you’re going to get an MBA make sure the school is AACSB or ACBSP accredited. Devry/Keller is not. Think of it this way. If a school has shareholders who are they obligated too?

    Is there main goal profits (i.e. return on investment) or educating students? I submit it can not be both.

23. 23 Nichole May 13th, 2011 at 2:43 pm

    Hi, I have been reading a lot of reviews about Devry and Keller. 1st, a bachelors will not get your anywhere. I know graduates from OSU, Wickiliffe University, Ball State, & etc ALL of them couldn’t find a job in their field when they graduated. They didn’t do internships, have work experience, or have an inside contact. So it’s not the school. It’s the lack of experience. When you get a degree, it doesn’t get you in the door. It gets you promoted once you have worked there for a few years.

    I didn’t know that 5 years ago when I graduated and was disappointed. I thought DeVry was a joke. Then I started meeting others with degrees & found out that it’s not the school. They have GPAs over 3.0, so it wasn’t their grades. It was the lack of real world experience. I didn’t know that you didn’t need a degree to be a manager or an accountant for that matter. I didn’t realize that a staff accountant makes $10 – 12 an hour starting out. I didn’t know all you needed was a certificate from your local community college.

    With that said, I got a job at then National City ( now PNC) 3 months after I graduated making $13/hr. For personal reasons, I didn’t stay at the job. I took some time off and when I came back to job hunting, I got a job at JPM Chase making $12.50 an hour. Entry level jobs.

    I am now going back to Keller to get my MBA with a minor in IT. I have an inside track now. I know what employers are looking for. They are looking for a degree with certifications. ( CCNA, Cisco, Juniper, & etc) They are looking for either work experience or a good reference from someone THEY know. My husband goes job hunting without submitting resumes. He calls people & they tell him to send his resume & the job is his. They conduct interviews with others & pretend he isn’t going to get the job. Then hire him. But for legality purposes, they look fair & unbias. 98% of all job positions are filled through networking.

    So I know when I graduate I will have an inside track. I will have my certs when I graduate and a reference from someone with 18 years experience. A person who is a hiring manager and has worked for many Fortune 100 companies.

    It’s not the school. It’s your lack of experience & networking. It took me 4 years to stop being mad at DeVry & start realizing how the “real world” works.

24. 24 TMC13 May 28th, 2011 at 8:04 pm

    I am considering attending Keller to obtain an MBA with Concentration in Human Resources. I have a BA in English and I’m bilingual (Spanish). I have been reading the postings and now I really don’t’ know what to do or should do.
    I do not have experience in the HR field but I am interested in, that’s why I decided to go back to school at 37 years old. From what I have read it does not seem like I have hopes of getting a job in this field or that a degree from Keller would help me achieve that. What advise can anyone give me? Should I even bother? I don’t want to get into student loans and then not be able to get a job in order to p ay them off and take care of my family at the same time.
    I am located in the Chicago area, if Keller should not be an option then what do you recommend?
    Please help!!!

25. 25 Sharon Jackson Jun 10th, 2011 at 6:18 pm

    I have been at Keller since January 10, going for my Master in Financial Management and Accounting (concentrate in CPA program). Like most of my classmates, we choose Keller because we can earn school credits by attending Becker CPA review classes. I like most of professors in my school. They are professional, intelligent and they bring real world experience into class. However, there are many other reasons I would not recommend Keller to anyone. First, the MFMA program is too expensive ($32,000) and the MFMA program does not cover all materials that are tested in CPA exam. Four Becker CPA review classes alone cost me $5,000. I can go to National University and pay only $20,000 and spend another $3,000 for Becker review. Yes, Keller students pay extra for Becker CPA review compare with non-Keller students. Second, school’s customer service is horrible. You can never get things done in an efficient and effective way. Third, my school let non-CPA staffs teach accounting classes. I wasted $2200 on an accounting course and I did not learn anything because the teacher is not a CPA. In fact, that teacher does not know much of accounting. Fourth, Devry/Keller is lack of professional networking for students. There are no student clubs or professional societies in this school. My accounting professor is kind enough to help students organize an accounting club in school. However, because Devry/Keller is a for profit company. The school prohibits any student clubs associated with Keller name. Keller is not a top MBA school. Without networking, how does Keller expect students to find a job?

    I did not do much research on Keller before I enrolled the program last year. I am very regretted that I choose Keller. I have 3.9 GPA in school but I have to spend extra time study for my CPA exam because most of exam materials did not covered by Keller. For those who read my post, please consider all pro and con before you decide to enroll in Keller. You do not want to owe $32,000 in student loan with a degree that does not take you anywhere.

26. 26 billy Jun 17th, 2011 at 10:09 pm

    I have been attending Keller for 3 terms. I own a small business, I wish I would have attended Keller first. I am working on a CFA.

27. 27 2011KellerGrad Jun 30th, 2011 at 8:07 pm

    I can only speak for my particular experience with Keller’s MBA program. I am a proud graduate of Keller. I pursued the MBA with a concentration in Accounting program. My Bachelor’s Degree is Business Admin with the same Accounting concentration through a different school.

    I am currently prepping and sitting for the CPA exam. I was recently offered & accepted a postition that increased my salary by more than 50%. Total compensation increased much more than that! My new boss is a CPA that has worked for a global CPA firm. So, Keller has worked for me!

    I chose Keller solely based on the ability to take the Becker CPA review classes (owned by Keller) and receive credit towards my degree. My point is, I could have gone to a state school or a private school for the “reputation”, but my concern is passing the exam to get licensed. Becker boasts the highest exam prep pass rate in Accounting. Many employers (Big 4 & industry) will pay for their employees to take the Becker courses, so for an aspiring CPA candidate, it’s a win-win in my opinion. As an accountant or aspiring CPA, you can’t knock Keller but respect Becker. That’s nonsense.

    Many nonprofit, public institutions have the same types problems as for-profit schools. It just so happens that some for-profits haven’t lived up to the expectations of their students. As a result, the great ones (includes Keller) are lumped in with the “not-so-great” ones.

28. 28 Wayne Jul 1st, 2011 at 10:16 pm

    While I think it’s easy to snipe here the fact is that Keller is accredited, and has been for many years. It does depend on your focus, I have a hard time understanding how Keller is considered more expensive than state schools, that is not the case where I live. But, a friend of mine just told me that our local state run university is the most expensive in the United States. I feel I received a good education at Keller (recently graduated MAFM with honors) I studied hard, I work full time and try and have a life in between. I know people who have passed the CPA, I know a few who are struggling…guess what it;s now considered harder than the medical boards to pass. So no single program will prepare everyone to pass it.
    Personally, my plan is, if I bomb out on the CPA I am going for an EA since I’m more of a tax person anyway.
    I think the graduates make the school, not the other way around. Unless you are part of the IVY club it really doesn’t matter it’s up to you to succeed. I know my prof in Advanced Finance has a PhD from a well known university, she told us that the material we studied in that class took her almost a year to learn, while we had to learn it in an accelerated class environment.
    I think JSG above has the right attitude, do the work, make it work for you and don’t rely on your school’s reputation to carry you…You should carry it!

29. 29 Thomas Jul 8th, 2011 at 9:02 am

    For anyone considering graduate school, pass on Keller Institute. The admin department doesn’t know if it’s coming or going. You’ll get letters stating you’re being dropped for non-payment when you’re on financial aid or on a company payment plan. The online instructors are non-existent. They went to far as to invite me to the LinkedIn group because I’m a student, and then deny me from joining the group because they don’t have a record.

30. 30 dc112 Jul 20th, 2011 at 6:11 pm

    Mixed Feelings: Ultimately DO NOT go here! REALLY!!!
    Current MBA program student

    The absolutely poor service with financial aid and its complete inconsistency in financial aid service at Keller and its disbursement system will push you to your limits as to why you EVER went to this university.

    The actual curriculum and professors and doctors are great in all of my DeVry and Keller experience with real world experience and knowledge. It’s a system that actually encourages you to always be on top of the topic matter and you really have to know your material.
    The funny thing is I doubted all these negative feedback reviews as I’ve only had great experiences with both the professors and financial aid department.
    I’m looking at some of the reviews of

    *DisgustedFormerStudent

    and I must admit I was kind of pissed off from the comments. However in this horrible economy, coupled with virtually NO OPPORTUNITY to even get a position anywhere, it is essential that a full time student like myself to make sure certain distributions are distributed on a timely manner. It’s already the first two semesters at Keller and THE FINANCIAL AID “PAPERWORK” DELAYS ARE… ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE…

    I SAY AGAIN…
    ABSOLUTELY F**KEN HORRIBLE!!!

    I am pretty good at separating certain issues, but the way these guys have lack of consideration for their student needs, and I’m guessing for sheer profit, I’ve only met with financial aid delays after delays. They’ve given me nothing but excuses after excuses as to why the funds have NOT been released.
    For each call after the first and expected release dates (due to my past experience at DeVry), I’ve only heard delays after delays, excuses after excuses as to why my funds have not been released. I finally received my payment after a semester ( that’s THE NEXT SEMESTER ) with reduced loans that is COMPLETELY INCONSISTENT with all of my years at DeVry Undergraduate program.

    The way their Financial Aid department is operating is, they are either all overworked doing multiple jobs or their system is all screwed up with hopefully not a small percentage that they are ACTUALLY SCAMMING their students with the WORST INCONSISTENT KNOWLEDGE or DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM in their departments, so much so,

    THE CONSTANT UPDATES AND COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE FINANCIAL AID DEPARTMENT ARE ACTUALLY INTERFERING WITH MY STUDIES!!

    You would literally need another person or assistant to deal with their department so that you can concentrate on being a student!!
    To give them the benefit of the doubt, a great percentage of the operators have all been courteous and professional and underneath it all, it looks like they are all pawns under a horribly set up department and ultimately they are forced to give…

    DELAYS AFTER DELAYS!!

    EXCUSES AFTER EXCUSES!!

    Unless they completely overhaul their communication (with lenders or WHATEVER) and possibly overworked labor issues…

    DO NOT GO TO KELLER ( YOU “HEAR” AND READ THIS KELLER!!!)

    Sadly there’s a small percentage that I might actually be stuck with this university due to this economy!

    TO ALL PROSPECTIVE GRADUATE/MBA STUDENTS:

    YOU HAVE A CHOICE RIGHT NOW TO MAKE SURE YOU CHOOSE A UNIVERSITY WITH BOTH GREAT PROFESSORS AND GREAT SERVICE

    (This is a for profit university and I’m not sure how they expect to survive or be profitable when they are essentially screwing over their students –
    Hey DeVry/Keller, maybe you guys need to take an MBA program or learn some stuff from your own professors/doctors?! – YEAH FROM YOUR OWN EMPLOYEES!!)

    DISGUSTED ALSO!!

    I would like to be honest and let everyone know, that you should only attend Devry or Keller if you are NOT PAYING for it, if your employer pays for it, then definitely go for it as it is an easy school to be in, basically, it has a lot more disadvantages than advantages, 1) people and employers know that it is a bullshit school and as someone mentioned above, he had been there for 5 semesters and his average is 4.0, come on guys, that will never happen at any good school or even a normal school like any state university. matter of fact, if you go there, about 90% of students have an average of 3.5 or above, that is never the case in any public school or a good private school.

    so, dont take that much loans and stress yourself for something that is not worth it. if you have the money and want it to be well spent, then enroll in a evening MBA program that is available in most universities as they know that most MBA students are also workers and employees.

    KELLER or DEVRY, only if you are not paying for it. that is what is it for. and to be honest, most employers that would like their employees to do masters, they will not approve Keller or Devry ? you know why ? cause it is just simply not up to the level and whatever statistics they publish, it can not be right, and no one is watching what they publish either.

    Devry spends millions of dollars on online advertising to get idiots to sign up.

    I really dont have anything against them, but the above is true. believe it

    Well, I do not know if that will work for myself, but absolutely worked for you personally! Excellent post!

    All these examples are based on individual specific situation! In today’s world, the school alone does not make you marketable. The school provides the road map, and you travel it… You must be able to take away what you want from the school and work towards it. I am not a believer in big name only but substance because I usually look at the individual’s ability to perform not so much about big name school – in that the individual suppose to do the work and not the name of the school. We make mistake because we allow the school’s name to mask the reality of employee’s performance.
