Arizona State University's online Master of Business Administration program at the W.P Carey School of Business is a phenomenal program that prepares the individual well for the future, regardless of the amount of previous experience. Being able to collaborate with other students from different backgrounds and with different strengths has opened my eyes to other opportunities for growth. Groups are of 4 or 5 students from all professional backgrounds that work together throughout the entire program.... Read More By developing close relationships with each member, it is great to learn new work and communication styles while learning from each other and building off of each others strengths. This program has taught me a lot about who I am as a student, what motivates me, and how I can apply all this information to my professional career. The academic support from program managers and instructors is incredible. By networking with individuals around the country, this program allows a broader perspective and application of the information.

I transferred to Arizona State after a family emergency left me relocating from Florida to North Carolina, where my former MSW program would not accept my NC residency for the program. ASU's MSW was willing to consider accepting more graduate transfer credits than most (30 hours) and that highly influenced my decision. The program academics have been thorough and rigorous so far, however they ended up only accepting 21 of my 34 transfer credits which really set me back. Also, though they have a large... Read More online contingent, they did not offer any online classes during the summer which would help me advance my degree, ultimately requiring me to sit out a semester and double up during the Fall and Spring. That was a bit of a let down as well. In the end, however, ASU helped me keep my goal of obtaining an MSW alive despite personal obstacles and for that I am grateful.

I attended Arizona State University (ASU) for three and a half years to obtain a Bachelors in Communication. My time with ASU is continuing, as I am pursuing a Masters in Technical Communication with ASU online. My desire to remain at ASU stems from their consistent and expansive resources. I have several academic advisors and success coaches that reach out to offer advice, career planning, and simply to follow-up with me post-grad. It truly is a wonderful feeling to know that as an alumni and current... Read More student, my success is a top priority. Likewise, I have greatly appreciated the on-campus/online mix of courses. I started as a full-time, on-campus student during my first year as an undergraduate. The Downtown Phoenix campus is beautiful and full of culture. The resources offered in ways of technology, study rooms and libraries, classrooms, and the availability of entertainment and food made it a fun and exciting location. I married my second year of college, and decided to complete my degree online while working nearly full-time. The transition was smooth and simple. The online courses are just as interactive and educational as face-to-face courses; the same expectation of hard work is demanded by students, and professors are just as concerned for students' well-being. The availability of online courses made it easy to find relevant and interesting courses. Another important aspect regarding ASU has been their scholarship and financial resources. Their scholarship search website is what led me to this website; like most students, I am struggling to pay tuition. I am eternally grateful to ASU for leading me to resources to continue my education.

My time at Arizona State University has been a great learning experience, which has correlated with substantial professional growth. Arizona State Universities dynamic online teaching program enables the learner to interact with the learning materials in a progressive way, which prepares the learner for practical experiences in the work environment. In addition, the University has offered assistance in financial planning and also provides routine reminders, in the form of emails, of various ways... Read More students can acquire financial-aid. As a result of attending Arizona State University my earning potential has been influenced in a positive way because I have developed new skills, which others may not have not had the opportunity to develop.

I have really enjoyed my degree program through ASU online studies because of the accessibility of the program. I am able to work and take my courses at the same time. I receive a lot of guidance and assistance from ASU teachers to ensure that I remain on track with my studies and meet my deadlines. I have also greatly enjoyed the community that has been built even with an online program. Being able to meet online with fellow students really helped me feel a part of the campus and provided me with... Read More another way to seek assistance.

I am currently a student at Arizona State University in their grad program, online. I was afraid to attend college for grad school as I work full time, worried I would not be able to keep up, worried about funding, etc. I contacted ASU, as this is the college my daughter graduated from. I would recommend this college, as they guide you through the process of enrollment, as well as supply you with success coaches, online tutoring, along with easy access to instructors to create a positive learning... Read More environment. There are many online programs which collect money without creating a program that has the integrity of Arizona State University. If you want an easy program where you can pass with ease this is not the program for you. If you want a program that provides the rigorous education where you learn the skills to prepare you for the field you have chosen, then Arizona State University is the place you want to be. I know I will be prepared for my profession upon graduating.

Arizona State University (ASU) was my first choice for graduate school. My major is Special Education and I am in the dual certification program at ASU Polytechnic. I will be receiving my certification in General Education as well as Special Education. I had already received my bachelors degree from ASU at the Tempe campus but now I am enamored with ASUs Polytechnic campus. Not only did the Polytechnic campus have my desired degree program, they have given me advice on my student loan situation.... Read More The class sizes are small, the professors know you by name, the parking is a breeze, and the location in East Mesa is convenient for me. I cannot say enough about the parking. There is no need for a shuttle ride as there are plenty of open lots close to classrooms and I have never been unable to find a parking space. I had car trouble one evening on campus; I felt safe waiting by my car for the auto service to arrive. The campus is quiet and has plenty of security officers and call boxes. The classrooms are clean and well-appointed with all classrooms having at least one computer and a large projection screen, while many rooms have multiple student computers available. There is an abundance of electrical outlets for charging phones and lap tops. The campus has a student union area with a coffee shop, bookstore, and restaurants. There are clean and plentiful bathrooms throughout the campus. The professors available are from the Tempe and ASU West campuses as well as Polytechnic and are top of the line. My only problem with ASU Polytechnic is that they do not offer as many degrees as the Tempe campus. Another issue I have is with ASU in general. They are promoting shortened hybrid classes. I would prefer classes to last 15 weeks instead of 7.5 and have less of an online component. I learn more by being able to discuss topics in real time, rather than wait for people to post responses online. However, I would recommend ASU Polytechnic for any student looking for a more personalized level of intensive instruction, quieter campus, and suitable amenities.

ASU online DBH (management stream) program was an excellent opportunity as well as very informational program thus far. I had been accepted to more "typical" PhD and Doctoral programs that required me to take leave of absence from work. Financially, this wasn't possible for me, putting a halt to my career and salary to further my education. The strongest "selling" factor of this program for me was being able to work, have the culminating project embrace ones workplace, I can learn and still advance... Read More my career. The courses are manageable and well organized throughout the year, the faculty are very understanding and thorough. So far I have no complaints about the program or quality of learning. Having done my two previous degrees, B.Sc and MA in person in school, I can tell you first hand that the tier and quality of learning doesn't decline online- in fact it is more of a display of you own organization and dedication as it is more easily to put aside and procrastinate. Lastly, upon approaching graduation of this program, along with getting a coveted degree- it would vastly improve my salary and position at my current place of employment.

The ABA program at Arizona state is a BACB certified course sequence. The instructors are available to answer questions about the class, and I always receive responses the same day. You have a success coach who can help you with anything that has to do with enrolling in classes, financial aid, applying for graduation or any other questions you may have, they also help you a lot through your first class. The classes require effort and you learn a lot about ABA and becoming a BCBA through the classes.... Read More It has helped a lot with my work as a behavior tech already.

Arizona State University was fantastic at working with me to apply for my graduate program. While I was still completing my Bachelor's at a different university, they were able to understand my situation as a military service member and assist me in the application process. I was accepted into the program without even being complete with my Bachelor's. The advisors were fantastic with explaining the entire process as well as reminding me that military Tuition Assistance will not cover the entire... Read More tuition and that I will need to seek other funding. The online functions and program are incredibly easy to navigate and conduct course work. I highly recommend ASU to anyone seeking a Master's but does not have the ability to attend a physical institution.

I'm just starting the IT program but so far it's really great. It is expensive, but there aren't a lot of fully online options out there and this is one of the few that are actually credible. I didn't want to go to a different online school only to write papers the entire time. The financial department has been helpful every time I needed assistance or any kind of information/advice. You can either call them or chat online with them which is helpful. I also liked being able to do phone meetings with... Read More my advisor on what classes to take next, and there are tutors available via an online portal (EVEN ON SUNDAYS!). I really can't complain. I have to say, I've been taking mostly online classes for a while now even previous to ASU, so if you're not used to having the self discipline and motivation to work, meet deadlines and spend the extra time studying when you're having a hard time with something, I wouldn't suggest doing a fully online program like ASU right off the bat. Maybe work your way by doing online classes at a local community college first.

More than 25 years ago my mother and I hopped into her (now vintage) Honda Civic, armed with road snacks, several California maps and Thomas Brothers Guide books, and embarked upon what we heard was the traditional method of selecting an institution of higher learning on a college tour road trip. For 1 week during school break we pinpointed colleges of interest, on recommendation from my High School Counselor and visited campuses. Despite promises of athletic scholarships from a few far off schools,... Read More I chose somewhere closer to home and paid full fare at UCLA. I am a first generation college graduate. While paying off the degree was worth every penny, I struggled to do so, (having come from a lower-middle class family), I worked full time every summer and part time throughout school to pay my way. It would take me 10 years to pay off the remaining balance. When I did write my final check, I promised myself that when I went go to graduate school, I would try to take advantage of scholarships, to ease the burden of studentship. My Graduate School selection would come by a different path, with the goal of selecting an appropriate professional program to advance my career- fortuned favored me. I came to ASU first, for a position as an immigration advisor, and would find a suitable program once I became comfortable in my job. Not only was my supervisor incredibly supportive, but the degree program administrators in my degree of choice have been just as encouraging before and during my 1st year in. As luck would have it, my degree program is ranked one of the top in the nation- a fact I had only learned after I had been accepted. Without the larger structure of community and services at ASU, I could not imagine working full-time while pursuing a degree program. Despite the scale of the university (100,000 students) my name is immediately recognized by my program advisor and our career-services advisor sends constant local networking positions available to students in the form of lucrative internships and post-graduate career opportunities. Furthermore, the degree program has a massive amount of flexibility and customization in the way that elective coursework is handled and approved. I have been able to modify my focus specifically on comparative international higher education, whereas other universities may not give such quarter. The larger ethos of the University, that of innovation, inclusion and diversity, is ever-present, both in the attitudes expressed by administrators, faculty and my fellow colleagues. I feel fortunate that I fell into my graduate program and am excited by the academic and career opportunities to come.

I am blessed to be an ASU alumni, and feeling even more blessed to currently be a part of an ASU graduate program. Teaching is not an easier profession by any means, but ASU's iTeachAZ program made me feel fully prepared to take on my very own classroom, and the many responsibilities that comes with being an educator. Unlike other schools, ASU's teaching program mandates an entire academic year of student teaching. To many this may sound like a complete drag, a waste of time, and unfair when compared... Read More to other schools' student teaching programs. Sure ,at first I was not sure how I felt about spending an entire year, unpaid, in the classroom, but it was completely worth while, and I will be forever grateful for that experience! Classroom experience does not start there! Even as early as my sophomore year, I was spending time in a classroom as a part of my coursework. The mandatory hours spent in the classroom did not even feel like work to me; it only reinforced that I was going into the right profession! I highly recommend that anyone interested in obtaining a teaching degree, looks into getting one from Arizona State University's Mary Lou Fulton's Teacher College!

Mary Lou Fulton offers an alternative path to teaching. Whether you're starting a new career as an educator or are looking to improve your credentials, you will become more knowledgeable in education policy and practices. I enjoyed going through the program with my cohort, I really got to know my peers, and I worked with all of them in different ways throughout the two years. It gave me the ability to meet teachers outside of my school district and hear about different perspectives on education through... Read More Arizona. I enjoyed the variety of professors that taught the classes. They were supportive of all the teachers in the program and offered useful advice that could be applied in the classroom. At times it was difficult to balance teaching and completing a Master's program, but the small cohort and support from the professors helped complete the program successfully. I would recommend this program to people in Teach for America, and teachers who work at a charter school and have not yet received their certification.

Working full-time as a firefighter/paramedic I found the value and quality of education I am currently receiving from Arizona State University to be second to none. I searched for a few years after finishing my bachelor's degree and found the majority of graduate degree programs in the public administration and fire service fields of study to be either overly expensive or require too much of a time commitment for graduate studies, which can be difficult for a working adult with a young family, like... Read More me. At ASU I have found the entire process from applying to completing coursework at graduate level to be affordable and with the help of the excellent staff supporting the online graduate program I was able to find the flexibility in my course load for me to be successful in my pursuit of a graduate degree. I really can't say enough about the staff at ASU and my experience thus far has been amazing. I would highly recommend the online programs at Arizona State University, especially for working adults, as I believe that ASU has found the right formula for being affordable while providing a supportive and flexible balance to ensure success for their students.
