I did the bachelors and healthcare administration and graduated in 2024 with a 4.0. I thought the teachers were great. The curricular... Read More was great. My work paid for it so I don’t know about if the cost was good or not. It allowed me to have flexible hours and their website was easy to use and they offered good writing programs as well.

Purdue Global has not met my educational expectations at all. The coursework is inconsistent, meaning that professors do not thoroughly explain their assignments. Also, there is very little support for doctoral students. If you choose to attend Purdue Global for your post graduate education nine times out of ten you will be highly stressed. Purdue Global’s post graduate programs do not allow a good work, life balance as promoted. Please save yourself the trouble and do not enroll at Purdue Global.... Read More I wish that I hadn’t.

The Bachelor of Science in Healthcare Management through Purdue University Global feels more like a transactional online program than a meaningful academic experience. While the flexibility is often advertised as a major benefit, it can come at the cost of depth and engagement. Much of the coursework relies heavily on discussion boards and repetitive assignments, which can feel more like checking boxes than actually learning.
The curriculum covers basic concepts in healthcare management, but it often... Read More lacks the rigor and challenge expected from a bachelor’s-level program. Students looking for strong academic mentorship or interactive instruction may find the experience underwhelming, as much of the learning is self-directed with limited direct faculty involvement.
Cost is another concern. Tuition adds up quickly, and the return on investment may not feel justified given the overall quality of instruction and resources. Additionally, there can be confusion around the distinction between Purdue Global and the traditional Purdue University, which do not carry the same reputation.
Overall, while the program may work for those seeking a convenient, low-barrier degree option, it may leave students wanting more in terms of academic quality, engagement, and long-term value.

As a full-time online student at Purdue Global University, I have had only positive experiences. Reliable academic support is one of this institution's most valuable resources. Since my initial enrollment, I have been working with the same academic advisor for more than six years. My scholastic career has greatly benefited from that degree of consistency since my adviser is fully conscious of my objectives, development, and difficulties. The availability of support services is yet another noteworthy... Read More aspect. I am able to contact the school at any time of day or night and speak with an informed and helpful person. There is always someone available, day or night, for inquiries of all kinds, technical assistance, or advice, which is essential for online students balancing an extensive amount of obligations. The academic standards are transparent, the online format is well-structured, and I've always felt encouraged rather than ignored. I can now continue my study with assurance, flexibility, and reliable direction thanks to Purdue Global. I would without any hesitation suggest this institution to students searching for a trustworthy and encouraging online learning environment.

Poor financial aid counseling!!! I wanted to withdraw early and save my financial aid for another program with another school (nothing personal, just didn't like what I was studying). I attended on term, then applied to another school and plan to start in January 2026. I was planning to attend the full second term before leaving Purdue, but after discussing my plan with their financial aid department decided to withdraw earlier than expected (3 weeks into my second term) so I only had to pay a prorated... Read More amount of tuition. The financial aid counselor assisting me said that since my financial aid had already been dispersed to me, I would just need to work with the lender (Mohela). Purdue financial aid department said I would only owe Purdue the prorated amount of tuition (~$493). I asked what would happen with my the rest of my financial aid, they said since it was already dispersed to me, the money was mine and I would pay it off through Mohela - so I had planned to put it toward my new program starting in January - which requires a "Graduate Plus" loan because it's more expensive (you get what you pay for). I made sure to ask again, as I didn't want to screw up my financial aid for the future, they assured me I would only owe them $493. That's what they said, but what they did is the opposite. They instead sent my entire financial aid for the term back to the DOE, and are charging me for the amount that was dispersed for me plus the $493. They did not properly counsel me - they should have said that the entire financial aid amount would need to be sent back unless I had completed 60% of the term. I would have remained and finished out the term if they would have given me proper counseling. Now, I owe them over $3800, and the money I planned to apply to my future program has to go to Purdue. I'm extremely disappointed with the financial aid counseling I received - they did not know what they were doing when I was asking them about withdrawing 3 weeks into the term, I would have stayed at least another 3 weeks to meet the 60% threshold to not have my financial aid returned to the DoE. My recommendation is to stay away for Purdue Global, they are nothing but a degree factory with poor quality financial aid counseling.

I just wanted to send a heads up to enrolled students requiring financial aid verification. If you have to verify multiple student aid years be careful the documents are identical and when you mail the original documents to the school send them in separate envelopes. Somewhere on the form in front of the notary or on the envelope be sure to write the aid year. When I saw I had to get two identical documents notarized I informed the school that the documents were identical so how will they tell them... Read More apart. They told me to not worry about that. So, I paid to have two aid years notarized and sent them back to the school in the same envelope and they told me I was not allowed to do this and they disregarded the second letter because they were identical and they could not tell them apart. They also couldn't send me my original document back because they were identical. This upset me because I called to verify that they were giving identical documents and they did not inform me to send the documents back separately or have them labeled. I had to notarize one of the documents again. All I am saying is stop confusing students and give them all the information up front when they call in confused. I partly blame myself for not writing something on the document in front of the notary to separate them.

I completed my Bachelor of Science in Professional Studies and had a positive experience. The school expects you to do your research, assignments, and papers and follow the APA guidelines. The homework could be challenging and require critical thinking, unlike other people's impressions that the school is not comparable to the Purdue network because it was a Kaplan deal, which was subjective without accurate assessment. The bottom line is that you have to work hard for your degree and achievement;... Read More it is NOT something you sign up for and get the degree without doing much (like a degree mill). The program differs from the Purdue network because it caters to a distinct group of students, mainly adults, which could be different from the Purdue network. However, that does not mean the school is in a lower grade.

Watch out for this school excell program, if you are looking to obtain a a high GPA. They assigned you certain amount of classes per cycle and ask you to complete a minimum of 6 credits. What they don't tell you is that they will give you an F on the uncompleted classes. Although you will take them on the next semester and it does not reflect on their overall GPA, it will affect your GPA when you apply yo graduate school. I didn't know this is how it worked and the fact that once you are done with... Read More a credit a new one opens up automatically made it impossible not to get an "F". I regret going to this school so much. If u r applying to a competitive graduate program, this is not a good fit. Unless you can complete all the classes you need on one cycle.

Purdue Global's doctorate in education is a diploma mill. You do not get a committee as in most programs. Some students never even got a faculty advisor. It is a predatory pass fail where you pay to enlighten your professor if your research is innovative but you don't gain from the relationship. The professors would not be teaching on the regular Purdue campus. Yet, there was a sense of arrogance referencing other programs as lower quality because they are associated with the Purdue name. Low quality... Read More dissertation texts and vague school site website. There is no clear template for doctoral thesis. The textbook used for the literature review and qualitative research was vague and professors tell you to buy one version, yet reference another in the assignments. You are not taught scholarly writing or given adequate time to research your topic. If you want to get out quick, this is your program. If you want your research knowledge and skills to be on par with other doctoral candidates, pick another program. If your professor talks to you on the phone, send a follow-up email documenting the conversation because they will claim they told you things that they did not.

Purdue Global University is the most diverse college in America, which is why I chose it. It also helps students develop professional attitudes, values, and skills that support careers and life. My confidence and communication have been impacted by the caliber of my education. The portal is well-designed; it is simple to use and explore other applications. Every professor has expertise in everything from professional communication to composition 1. I adore their explanations. My decision to pursue... Read More a degree program in healthcare administration was influenced more by healthcare leadership, which has helped me network to improve patient care and develop my leadership abilities. As an only child, this program has broken down barriers in my life. The younger generation of black men and women benefits from this because they believe that anything is possible for them. Creating a culture of innovation, resilience, diversity, and inclusion is an intriguing aspect that I find enjoyable. I have learned a lot from all the elective courses that will be useful to me later because of the diversity of the student body and the quality of instruction provided by the professors, I would suggest this college to others.
