Thanks for another excellent article. Where else may just anybody get that kind of info in such an ideal method of writing? I have a presentation next week, and I’m on the look for such information.

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.

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

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!!

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.

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!

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.

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.
