The Bryman School of Arizona

Date: Jul 07 2005
Major: PreMed and Medical (This Major's Salary over time)
I attended the Bryman Campus in Lynnwood, Washington November 2004-June 2005 for classes (Medical Assisting). Before I signed anything I was told that my "credits" from this "college" were transferable to any college after I completed the program. Now I find out, untrue. I was also told that completion of this program was the same as an associates degree, I find out it's not. Bottom line, at the end of my "student loan", I will have paid out to this school and the government a total of $15,000.00 for absolutely nothing that can be warranted on paper stating that I am Medical Assistant. I will get a little diploma saying that I've completed an MA program at a non-accredited campus. And for icing on the cake, I have to wait another year or two after I get a job (if I can get one) to take the CMA test that will certify me as an actual Medical Assistant. I was told in the beginning that completion of this program garanteed certification. *My advice to anyone and everyone looking for a cheaper route…this is not one. You'd be better off applying for that extra three thousand and going to an actual university and spending a few extra months in school to get that garanteed certification and getting an ACTUAL DEGREE. And if you're still determined to go to Bryman (you poor things) then please READ THE FINE PRINT before signing anything.* Just an FYI about this particular campus: The teachers (most of them) seem not happy to be there. My class has had 3 different lecture instructors in three months. There is no consistancey with instructors or cirriculum, and every day felt like a circus-act trying to juggle what the "school" was going to throw at us. I can understand if this were a job, but it's supposed to be a school. We don't pay for a job, we pay for an education and a degree.
