Barton Community College — Local services in Great Bend

Absolutely AWFUL!! The curriculum is very poorly thought out, the assignments for some of the classes have nothing at all to do with the career you are seeking; a complete waste of time. The instructors (most of them) are terrible about communication. You will not receive a response to 7 out of 10 emails that you send with questions or comments. I am truly stunned by just how disorganized their online programs are. A full semester of time and money have been completely wasted at this institution. I will now have to start all over again somewhere else, but that is better than attempting to continue on with this place for another year or two. Just terrible! If you are considering Barton....DON'T! Please, for your sake, keep searching and pass...

I wish I could give a better review but I would be lying. I had many, many issues while going to this school and using my Gi bill only made it more difficult. Lots of the teachers are unresponsive for days-weeks and punish you for waiting on clarification for course work. It also takes them 3-4 weeks to post grades making it very hard to stay enrolled in classes. It would take months for them to verify I was attending and to send the info to the VA. They had me take classes that were not "certified online classes" so to graduate I had to pay $510. They claim to support veterans but they are not a true yellow ribbon school and they do not support veterans...

Absolutely worst school ever! They DO NOT take care of veterans as they claim. It was a complete set-up from the beginning. I enrolled for a class and was told from the school that everything with my Post 9-11 GI bill was fine. AFTER the last day for no-payment withdrawal I was then contacted to be told it wasn’t okay and that I had to pay them 450.00. I was going along with the class like everything was okay only to find out “after the fact” that it wasn’t and since I had already “started” the class there was nothing they can do. Now I’m stuck with a 450.00 debt to them and everyone is saying there is absolutely nothing...
