Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Computer Science  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright Colorado Technical University is a diploma mill. They were in 1998-2000 when I attended, and no doubt still are. It is an overpriced 'private university'. While the introductory computer science courses are adequate (Deitel & Deitel seems to be a favorite of their's), the staff is sub-par in both experience and ability to teach. I fondly remember one professor who was fresh out of the NAVY. She had been doing SQL reports while in the military, and was teaching a C++ course. At the beginning of the semester she talked about how we would all be working on an elevator program by the end of the semester. The problem is that most of the students were long gone by then, and she had completely failed to progress the remaining students to the point that they could even begin to write an elevator program. I'll give her one thing, though. She had a beautiful body, seemed students were more interested in watching her bend over to pick up the chalk on the floor, than actually listening to her. Seriously, most ever technical class I took was a power point presentation, beginning to end. There was little real instruction going on, and more than once professors would start a semester out by saying that we'd be doing this and that, and by the time the semester was coming to a close, the professor seemed desperate for it all to end.

Online education is not for the weak hearted and once you commit be prepared for a very fast paced unforgiving environment for scholastic pursuits. The reason you complete you degree program in such a short period of time is the commitment you make to both the education and yourself. With online programs you get out as much as you put in and noone is there to stand over you and make sure your task work and projects get done. While the books have not always provided the details necessary to complete the assignments you as the student are responsible for completing the assignments no matter where the source of your research must come from. Online education includes real world WWW research as well as text book content. If the assignements only needed one source of information such as text books what would you learn? Most of my instructors in this university have placed a high value on originality and the ability of the individual to comprehend the theories presented not just the ability to cite textbook information. Overall I have to say this has been the most fulfilling experience of my life and with a job that requires travel all over the world there is no other way I could have completed this educational pursuit. While the price is high the technology brought out through this university is phenominal and allows for what I consider to be one of the richest possible learning environments available through an online learning virtual campus.

You are furnished the textbooks as a part of the tuition. The instructors are extremly UNHELPFUL, you are given textbooks that DO NOT cover the required material, and online resources that are so advanced that the average student in an introductory course cannot comprehend the material. You are told that you will be a qualified programmer upon completion of the course and after enrolling you discover that you take only ONE programmng class. Basically you are supposed to learn a year's woth of programming in 5 weeks. This is without learning resources or assistance from CTU. Bottom line. if you are looking for a degree in IT, stay away from this university. They will take your money but they will not teach you ANTTHING> This online university can only be considered a very expensive diploma mill!
