Major: Psychology (This Major's Salary over time)
I am in the Psychology online progam. Overall the coursework isn't so bad, but most of the time the communication with the staff other that the instuctors is horrible the majority of the time. There are a few staff members that do thier job very well, but unfortunately, they are outnumbered by those that don't. I am at a disadvantage because I live 6 hours away from the institution and whenever I need a copy of an approved form or etc., it is almost impossible. If you become a distant education student you need to be a determined person and ready to ask for things over and over again to get anywhere. And the VA affairs department is also impossible at times. I don't think I have ever had a single semester where I haven't had to battle with the VA counselor about getting certified for the GI Bill, but in the end I was always proven to be right, but yet again I go through the same thing each semester. The advisement sucks. Everytime I email my so called "advisor" with a question or to be advised on what courses to take, I am always redirected to someone else. I do have to say that I usually get what I need accomplished but the faculty and staff don't make it easy. If you are a student that has no other option but to take online courses like me, this university might be for you, just be ready to fight for what you need.
