As an alumni of the University's B.A Mass Communications program who is now working in the Advertising field, I am appalled by the competency levels of some of the school's professors.

Surely we students would have liked to apply our textbook knowledge in the workplace but as OCU were to have it, that is simply not possible.

Their syllabus is terribly outdated and I was very disappointed in the quality of education. I've never seen a professor design a class around a game of treasure hunt and ask students to "reasearch" the price of a cup of coffee from the cafeteria as part of learning about media/advertising research.

To top it all off, the school charges some of the most outrageous semester fees that are almost 3 times more than neighboring Universities in a higher tier.

There are plenty of college choices available in the US and abroad to match every student intellectually and financially. I would suggest that OCU be considered as an option of last resort.

I've not met any other international student that not had a regret about coming to OCU and that in itself speaks volumes.
