For the most part Alliant was okay. However, issues pertained to certain professors, coursework, and completing your degree for education. Some professors failed to provide feedback which helps us improve our coursework, failed to provide grades in a timely manner, and communication was poor. The coursework load was decent for a masters program but the problem was not being to plan accordingly as you are only able to submit per week and not see future assignments to prepare for upcoming weeks. It... Read More was frustrating to work last minute on very lengthy assignments with 2 classes at a time on top of working full time and being a student teacher who was planning and running a classroom. What they fail to tell you as an education major, is that they do NOT have an induction program, and fail to tell you that you will need to complete an induction program after your degree is up. Now having to spend $3,000 at another school. The frustration comes from communication that is poor and only a select handful of those who really support the students who go here. I would do your research before attending and be mindful of these problems that could be fixed.

In the school of Education, many of the assignments are ridiculously redundant, making you fill out numerous forms that all ask the same questions. The resources and countless forms that you have to fill out in Clinical Practice are difficult to find and are often scattered across different pages in Canvas so that you spend hours just trying to track them down before you have to spend hours more filling them out. For the most part, the professors are the only redeemable part of this school, though... Read More I have had at least two encounters with professors who are completely apathetic about their role and do absolutely nothing to help their students. However, those two are more the exception than the rule--as far as I have experienced so far. Overall, however, the school is severely disorganized and the online program is a joke. It's overpriced and overrated. I regret choosing Alliant for my teaching credential.

This university is HORRIBLE. They are literally just checking boxes, and there are hundreds of stupid little fees that come up because they make you use resources like VEED and their instructions are not at ALL helpful. You are left completely in the dark about everything and when you try to reach out for help they basically direct you to a million links that either you won't be able to find, don't work, or don't actually have the information you need. I don't usually write reviews, but if you are... Read More considering attending this university PLEASE GO LITERALLY ANYWHERE ELSE. SAVE YOURSELF. I have enrolled in several online programs throughout my educational career, and this one is so disorganized and ridiculous. This is a HORRIBLE organization, PLEASE do not waste your time here. From admissions to the finance office to the fact that the assignments are completely monotonous and repetitive, this is just overall not a good place to be. Go somewhere else.

Lack of communication from all departments. I was often the one having to email my advisor, coordinator, etc., to find out information otherwise I would be kept in the dark. Some professors don't seem qualified as they don't respond and are clueless about some assignments. Due dates for assignments on Canvas are inconsistent and some professors don't send any announcements whatsoever, they just grade what you turn in and no relationship is developed with students. My experience in the Masters program... Read More for education has been frustrating and expensive. Constantly get email notifications that Alliant staff members have resigned. I once received an email that my academic advisor was no longer working there as of that day. My previous advisor made many mistakes and even ended up enrolling me in a course I didn't need. I caught that mistake because she would have never noticed. To top it off, those extra 3 credits are not even showing up anywhere on my transcript. I have emailed multiple times about this and I just graduated and the problem was not fixed. Very frustrating! If you enroll at Alliant, be prepared to advocate for yourself because no one else will. If you can, go to a CSU or UC instead.
