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terribly outdated and I was very disappointed in the quality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.
