Saint Mary's University of Minnesota — Attraction in Winona

I was supposed to be in the accelerated online MBA program but unfortunately when they enrolled me in classes they failed to put my in the fast track that I was told I would be in when I was accepted. I was told I would be done in October now I am being told that is impossible. I was told I could have been done sooner if I mention this in the summer that I wanted to be enrolled in extra classes. So being told from the start that the accelrated was 14 months ending in October and then verified this was true in the September when I was considering a new job was not enough. I guess you need to check in daily about enrollment with multiple people? They take 0 responsibility for this mismarketing. They continue to say it's my fault for not asking to accelerate the accelerated program in April, had i known that at the time I would have. I talked to others that were also told that it was a 14 month program August-October and were schocked when I told them this news. I was told in a call today though that if this financially hurts me that I can wait two semesters to afford it, which when you don't have a job due to this error I don't see how two semesters makes money appear, I guess I missed this in my finance courses from here. This is a huge set back for me at my job and financially they don't really seem to care that they made a massive mistake and are taking no steps to help fix this. They also enrolled me in the wrong specialty and signed me up for the wrong special topics course, many of my classmates had the same mistake happen. It has been about a year since I notified them that my speciality was wrong and I am not told the change is pending. I also found out a special topics course in the first fall semester was never enrolled in correctly, and that is why I had two in the spring semester unlike any one else. Again they tried to blame that on me and said I withdrew from the special topics, I never did. The courses themselves and the teachers were fine. If you do this program constantly check in and don't trust you are correctly enrolled in courses or that you will complete it as promised. There are also a ton of group projects in almost every class along with asynchronous components the teacher scheduled. I had to take a lot of time off in order to do the group assignments and meet with the teachers. It is a huge hassle and everyone is on a different schedule. You can't say a program is on your own time with this amount of group projects. If you want somewhere you can trust and somewhere you can br proud to graduate from look elsewhere,...

If you are going there And are wanting to join Athletics I would truthfully recommend looking for a different college. This college Is struggling financially with athletics and had to cut programs in order try and make the other programs better which has not worked. Even when being on saint mary's campus things seemed rubbed down. When I would go to the dining area to grab gluten-free stuff the fridge that had all of the allergen food would be empty, so a lot of the time I would either have to buy my own food or I would just end up not eating at all. The campus is very old And if you like the old kind of scenic vibe then you might like this campus, but the thing I only really found good about this college was the scenery and the bluffs, the rest was okay but not really the best, and now switching to a different college has showed me a different side of what Saint Mary should...

I was accepted for the online MSW program in June, didn’t have anyone return my calls or emails until late October. I attempted to speak with the financial aid department & have never received a reply back. I left countless voicemails and sent emails for help with no reply. I received two phone calls letting me know my issues are being worked on and then they were resolved. Here’s a shocker, they were not. The registration/student center department can’t even call you on the phone at the exact time they rescheduled you for because they couldn’t even make it to the original meeting. The online program is complete joke and waste of time. If I was able to travel there for assistance when I needed it or could simply depend on their departments over the phone I’d probably...
