I completed several of MSU's distance learning programs and independent study online programs. I do not live in WV and therefore cannot comment on any type of direct personal interaction with the staff or facility. I will say that some of the courses I have taken at MSU were extremely challenging and some of them were not that challenging. I have personal experience with several highly regarded colleges in my city and the programs at MSU are far more applicable to working adults. Honestly, some of the classes at the local colleges were much easier than some of MSUs courses. That being said, I live in a very large city and I am employed with a very large agency that readily recognizes MSUs educational programs with high regard. It is to be noted that it is commendable when any program is highly regarded within my agency.

I am aware of several regionally accredited universities within my city and surrounding jurisdiction that I would not let them pay me to attend. If you walk into my agency with a degree from these particular universities be prepared to catch some dissension.

Overall, my experience at MSU has been very positive and I highly recommend MSUs online programs for working adults. The programs are very practical and solid.
