Eagle Gate College Murray Campus — Local services in Murray

I started the MA program July of 2020. Two months in, I wanted to drop out. I was a student with A’s in the lab and theory courses, near perfect attendance and participation in class, and my instructor, Kristin, treated me like absolute garbage for no reason. She made every single day miserable for everyone in class because she was constantly unprofessional, and always gave us misinformation when she was teaching like she didn’t know what she was talking about. It makes you wonder about some things when your “experienced” Medical Assistant/LPN teacher is steadily corrected by students that haven’t been in the class for a month. Thankfully, she stopped teaching about a week after I dropped out so my other classmates didn’t have to deal with her anymore.

Sadly though, that’s not enough for my other classmates that stayed. Eagle Gate college is so unbelievably unorganized, Canvas was always a major source of frustration we got minimal help with, tests were written into the program by someone who didn’t know the right answers so our grades were always inaccurate, and the teaching staff haven’t improved much since I left according to friends I still have in the class. I tried to be understanding and write it off as COVID screwing things up and adding a lot of stress on staff, but if you do your homework this college is steadily hit with terrible reviews, and for good reason. Faculty outside of the instructors was always really helpful and that is probably the only plus I can think of.

Overall, I don’t recommend anyone pick Eagle Gate to hand $13,000. It seems like an easy option because it’s an expedited program that is always accepting new students to start quickly, but it’s not worth it. If you see this and are thinking of choosing a different school, please run in the other direction and save...

UPDATE: there was no resolution, we even spoke with the owner himself.

To say that their communication is poor between school and students would be a massive understatement. I could give countless examples, from the clinical scheduling process, different tests for different section of the same exact class, to the fact that my husband was told he wouldn’t be able to continue with the program, and then was charged that semester.

Their graduation rate on the FASFA paperwork you fill out is 39%.... let that sink in. Less than 1 out of 2 people will graduate. My husband spent 9 semesters getting his BSN, and didn’t pass the final test in class by .1%. This happened twice, and now is kicked out of the program that he has spent tens of thousands of dollars on. They advertise that they have a high pass the NCLEX rate, well that is because they make it so hard to graduate their school in the first place.

This university shows that it is a for profit university with every decision they make. You need your own personal advocate to attend...

I’m in LPN program, I would never recommend this school to anyone. Only halfway through the program and already our class size is less than 1/3 of its size, meaning less than 1 in 2 people are going to end up graduating. Aside from the staffing issues, and having to teach yourself EVERYTHING, there are so many tech issues! So many times we can’t access our assignments, portal, and there are just so many issues. Along with financial aid having staff turnover, then suddenly they claim you haven’t paid and lock you out of canvas even when you did pay. Missing labs and class time because they don’t have staff to cover for teachers when they’re sick. Shannon, the dean, responds to nothing and then interrupts class time randomly to talk to us, then we have to stay late because she wasted our class time. Waiting 3-4 weeks just to have something graded, all of our teachers have 2nd and 3rd jobs, it really seems like they are paying the teachers cheap and lacking on hiring more staff. I’m...
