Academic: If you think you will get a degree with minimal input forget about it. You will have to put in 14 - 30 hrs a week depending on your class so know this. The classes are fast paced and about a 1/3 of the class will dissapear over the course of the program. The virtual classes are great and provide you with all the tools you need if you are a SELF HELP STUDENT. I have worked in IT for 7 years and the projects are similar to what you deal with in real-life so this is good. You WILL have to act like an adult to pass and be successfull.

Cost: High cost per credit since the classes are weighed with high credit/ class ratings.
Perceived Campus Safety: A+, Social Life: F

If you've ever attended a "real" college (pick any state university) then you will find the curiculum very easy. Most students are there because their employer is footing the bill and they couldn't care less what grade they get as long as they pass. Ninety percent of all tests are take home/open book, even the one or two exams that were in class were open books/notes. If you need a degree to check the box for work then this is the place to go, if your looking for an education you won't find it here.

The engineering program has a "check box" type of curriculum. The instructors tend to cater to the slower students in the class and tests have even been modified to pass failing students. The senior classes were the worst. Just show up on day one and get a syllabus and instructions to build a project. Any project - just as long as the report is typed up at the end. There was no input or mentoring from the instructors. Even when asked directly for assistance emails were ignored and eventually became snooty in the responses.

The labs are extremelly outdated, dirty, disorganized and in need of a complete overhaul. The computers are slow, poorly managed and in various states of disrepair. It can take up to 15min to login and start working.

In my opinion CTU offers a quality education. All of my instructors have been very helpful. Make sure you are ready to study and put in 20+ hours per week.
