California Coast University — Attraction in Santa Ana

Because of work schedule commitments, there was no way to continue my education in the traditional brick & mortar classroom environment. I have been a student online for my Associates Degree at Kaplan University, my Bachelor's at Baker College and most recently for my MBA at CCU. Every program has it strengths, but I appreciate the ability to drive my education largely at my own pace allowing me to timely finish classes when it fits into my schedule.

As an MBA graduate and now a Doctoral student at CCU, I would never continue my education at this level at a school I did not have 100% confidence in. The professors are fast with grading and question response, as well is the staff. They are always willing to do their utmost to help or assist a student. Many times they go above and beyond what one would expect.

For potential students, you really must evaluate if online learning is for you, if you need teachers and students to fuel your motivation level, ANY online college may not be for you; but if you can motivate yourself and know online learning is for you, don't hesitate!

I am a veteran and there has never been an issue with their benefits for veterans, take advantage of what you have earned. Busy adults with full-time jobs, you can do it too, you decide what, where, and when you can complete the work, especially if you know the pain of having to participate in a chatroom at a specific time, not here; you are in control of your destiny, as education should be!

CCU is one of the most affordable accredited colleges I have researched, and I did a lot before deciding to go back to school...again. If you have any questions, ask them, the staff are excellent and leave nothing to chance, this University has done nothing more than expanded my career options, knowledge base and prospects. If you want a degree, you should go and get it!

Don't be fooled though, online learning can be harder than traditional learning and it may take you a little time to get used to it, but don't suffer needlessly, call the school, ask for assistance, see what they can offer and work with you on. Too many people complain they feel alone in their education, but nothing could be further from the truth, they are letting you be responsible for...

I have been enrolled in a doctorate program at California Coast for over a year. This is the best educational experience I have ever had, and I have 4 other graduate degrees. I work and I have several children under age 10, this is completely doable with a busy schedule. I love learning at my own pace with no busy work. No. Busy. Work. My last doctorate degree required multiple weekly forum posts that took 10 hours per week and gave no benefit, in addition to papers and exams. With California Coast, none of my time is wasted. The textbook choices are thoughtful and the exams are well-crafted. I have learned so much and I am enjoying it. The professors provide honest, constructive feedback. It is a phenomenal price, especially if your employer will setup a corporate partnership, and the monthly payments are very doable. I have already recommended California Coast to several colleagues and...

I am disappointed to see troll reviews from some who either don't understand online education or who have an agenda. Some, it appears, are not and never have been students there. Online isn't easy. In fact, in some ways it's more difficult than traditional brick & mortar. CCU is one of the pioneers of distance education before DE was universally accepted. They held full CA State Institutional Approval for 20 years before receiving national accreditation. Their cost model is low and their student-centric model is a joy for flexible, adult learning. CCU's national accreditation is recognized by US DOE and the the Council of Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) in DC. I earned several advanced business degrees there over the course of 10 years which augmented my traditional degrees and kept me competitive in my industry. I'll always have fond memories of that experience and those...
