This man went from roasting bad song lyrics to roasting bad online universities. You're a legend, Cliff.
I guess I’m just a natural born roaster 😎🔥
I forgot all about DeVry. Even as a kid, I thought it was scammy
Is a trade school. They been around before internet.
@@enturnetrol7869 I can see your perspective but I don't agree. Then why bother going to college at all? Just get the skills by using Google and show employers worth hiring. The thing about colleges is that if you're going to be spending money to go there, you want something that employers won't strike against you. For profit schools may not jive with certain companies and others won't care. Like if you went to an ivy league school people care, if you went to public school people are like, oh sure that's fine. If you went to ITT tech, some employers will legit question your intelligence. Your college does matter to some extent.
I really wanted to give a shout-out to Collage Hacked! After watching one of your videos I was inspired to go on my hacking journey and I just graduated WGU with a BSBAITM in a total time of just 94 days! I transferred in 71 CU and I did 49 at WGU in just 30 days! Thank you very much for making these videos!
CRUSHED IT!! 💪🏼💪🏼 So glad we could be the little spark that got you going 😎 Time for grad school??
@@CollegeHacked Yes I am planning to get start MBA in February!
@@p95ccwCongrats!! 🎉🥳
Thank you for making this video! I had a great experience with SNHU and am sticking with them for my masters.
When the military doesn't like you for your deceptive recruiting practices, you got a problem.
This is a hall of fame comment right here. HILARIOUS
Strategic Education owns Strayer, Capella, and Sophia. As we all know, Sophia brings down the cost of the tuition. Sophia learning is accessible to Strayer and Capella students for FREE. Before COVID, it was not, but it still was worth the money. I love Strayer and have learned a lot and seen a lot of success from people who graduate. I have five more classes, and I’ll have my bachelor's.
Thanks for this!
Right. I have had 0 bad experiences with Strayer! I finished my bachelors degree within a year and a half with transfer credits.
Ill have my Bachelors in Vaginalogy
I appreciate you calling out these organizations. I especially appreciate your the time you put into these videos to prevent others from falling into these federal money schemes.
Thank you for the encouragement! :)
First time I've heard of college rankings by lack of scandalls 😂. Great content as always!
In higher ed we come up with some creative ranking criteria sometimes 😅😇
I’m so glad I found your channel! Thank you very much for this great comparison video. Very detailed and informative. If all those schools are terrible, then what is a legit online university option for people with full time jobs? Do you have a video on what are the best options?
Yes! We have a number of videos on great online colleges for working adults :)
Hey guys great vid! Could you post the links to the FTC's list, and also the website you recommended to look up colleges?
Sure thing. I'll add it to the description.
First and foremost, I just want to thank you for spreading awareness and providing insight on educational institutions. Secondly, I have a couple of questions- Can you explain the difference between 120/180 credit systems that universities use and if it is beneficial in any way to go to a university that operates in a “180” credit system. Also, would you recommend a BS in Health science or are they too broad of a major? Thank you 🙏🏽
You’re welcome! 😊 Schools opt for the 180 credit model for usually one of two reasons. Either the “per credit” cost is high and they want to disguise that, or they are gamifying the students progression. For example, Purdue Global makes their 3 credit classes 5 credits and each credit is like a mini accomplishment as you move through the material (there is psychology to support this incentivizing people to continue). So it’s not always a bad thing, but you do want to suss out the intention. Health sciences can be a great major, depending on what you’re trying to do :) Thankfully the person makes the major, not the other way around!
I am so glad that you called out AMU/APUS. I almost attended their school as they have some of the best advertising targeted at our Military and Veteran communities. I know many of my colleagues who have degrees from AMU. After AMU evaluated all of my credits from the seven other colleges that I had attended, they only wanted to give me 81 transfer credits. When they found out I was actively enrolled in a local community college to take one of the prerequisites that I needed, my AMU counselor got very upset with me. This was a red flag! Luckily I had two friends who had graduated from Excelsior and convinced me to go there. Next Month I get to Walk at commencement at the ripe age of 53 years old. I am all signed up to do my Master's Degree at King's College London here in England this Fall of 2024..... Thanks to College Hacked for all of the great advice and entertainment along the way.... Love your channel.
This is amazing! 😄 Longer military schools video is in the pipeline, so thanks for confirming what’s in there about AMU. Congrats on finishing and enjoy your commencement celebration!! 🥳🥳 So happy we could help.
I’m at APU and not having a bad time. The material is quality and the instructors grade fairly so you do have to actually try but that’s a good thing. Is it a top school? Obviously not.
All colleges make false promises honestly. A college degree checks a box but doesn’t guarantee a successful career. That being said I haven’t found them to be viewed negatively or any more negatively than other online schools.
Higher education as a whole in this country has its flaws. It’s not accessible for the most part and we seem to value education only when it’s specific degrees or schools because being educated in this country is more about elitism than it is about education lol.
Overall I still prefer WGU to most other options as a non traditional student. APU is by far not the best school in the country but it isn’t the worst. That would be Ashworth College 😂
"A college degree checks a box but doesn’t guarantee a successful career" amen! 😎
WGU is better than APU/AMU?
@@cristovalortega1968 I would say so. Any school that is a "For Profit" school has a stigma attached to it. WGU is a non-profit school with a decent reputation.
oh wow thanks for the info, I was thinking to join University of Phoenix
I can't speak for American Public University overall. However, I completed 18 graduate hours in American Government through APU and was very satisfied. The university is regionally accredited. This enhanced my Master of Arts in History (I earned via a traditional, seated program) and allows me to teach American Government classes. It was win win for me. I can't say anything about the university other than what I experienced.
I have a similiar experience. I did an Undergraduate Certificate in Child Life through them. These courses counted towards the requirements for me to become a child life specialist, a professional who helps children cope the hospital. I learned a lot in my courses. I have a bachelors from a traditional school as well. Don’t think I’d ever get a degree from APU for reputation’s sake but I’m happy with my certificate program.
@9:51 your Good friend Caleb is actually quoting Maya Angelou 😆
😂 Indeed. Glad someone caught the joke!
Someone I went to undergrad with got his MBA from Welch's program at Strayer and is at Oracle now. That's the only for-profit degree I've witnessed employers respect with my own eyes. I appreciate you calling more attention to what are *widely* seen as diploma mills. I for one have never thought that applying a pure-profit model to education was at any point in time a good idea
ETA: SNHU gets a pass too. At least you can ACTUALLY go to college there and live on campus...if you so choose
Such a great point. People who are passionate, smart, and have good EQ don’t seem to suffer the same negative impacts from a less than ideal school choice. We say it all the time but it is SO true that the person makes the degree, not the other way around.
Thank you for this video.. Looks like SNHU is my best option
APU/AMU is the college hacked through the USAF TA, as I completed an interdisciplinary AA and that also helped completing my Community College of the Air Force (CCAF) AAS in Criminal Justice. Now I'm just 13 classes away from my BS in criminal justice at Liberty, as the AMU courses transferred with no issue. So In my situation AMU would not be one to avoid and I honestly applaud, the ease of transfer credits to LU was so simplistic. All it cost was $10 for the official transcripts to be be sent to Liberty University. I'm still proud of my two associates degrees and continuing my higher education which will help my career in the Air Force and more importantly life after the military.
That’s awesome, Charlie!! 😁
So you recommend AMU for someone who wants an associate degree in criminal justice?
So you recommend AMU for someone who wants an associate degree in criminal justice?
@@cristovalortega1968 Absolutely, sure they got in trouble years ago but that's changed as it is a regionally accredited institution today. One thing most get wrong about the school is the graduation rate, as most are Air Force (or other DOD employees) that only need a few classes for a degree and stop after getting that one degree. If you don't mind weekly discussion post for the classes then its an easy and somewhat affordable option. Hope this helps, Cheers!
I would agree that most people confuse Apus for one of these scam colleges simply because it is a for profit school (as if any school wouldn't seek a profit)
University of Phoenix was horrible. I hated it and dropped out. Do not recommend! My coworker got a business degree for 80k 😳and she's not even using her degree smh
There's an online school that charges $115,000 for a bachelor's degree -- Everglades University. It's insane because they aren't even that well known of a school.
Business degrees are useless and a easy degree 📜 to achieve
No one needs a business degree to start up a business. Head to library read books on the topic
Should have gotten Business in Law degree. A lot more useful
@@jyoz08True dat 😂
@@lionedheart You get a business degree to be some sales or marketing person on a team, the ideal is to start a business.
But yeah those degrees are easy to get. Comp Sci have a joke where there's a class in business where it's literally a vocab class. I'm here trying to build an operating system and these people have to learn what a pie chart is. Like wtf.
Unrelated, but I’m a recent Liberty grad with BS in Interdisciplinary Studies, whom is now awaiting MBA program acceptance. Highly recommend the “Chipotle” degrees.
YES! Congrats! 🥳
What is interdisciplinary studies?

Beth thanks you 🥰
hey, my employer has a partnership with UAGC, University of Arizona Global Campus, formerly known as Ashford University if I we’re to attend and get a business degree in “Operations Management & Analysis” would it even be worth it if employers wouldn’t respect it, haven’t been able to find much of a similar degree online and from what i’ve seen online the school has all of the traits similar to the schools listed in the video so i’m skeptical however everything else is just super convenient, being able to get it while working and not have to pay. basically I just wanna know if it’s even worth it attending and getting this degree. ty
Because it’s paid for-yes! If the school were not regionally accredited we might say just do a UMPI degree for $6k and call it a day. But if your employer will pay the high price tag, it’s still an accredited college :) The rebranding also helps with the name brand problem Ashford had.
I am looking at going for my Masters for Information Systems. My work has programs with both University of Phoenix and University of Arizona Global Campus for fully covering cost. The degree programs appear to be similar in content. Which would be the better school to pick in your opinion?
AGC :) Just our opinion.
You mean UAGC?@@CollegeHacked
I did some research and found out that University of Phoenix is being affiliated with University of Idaho in 2024 and UAGC as of July is being operated by University of Arizona and are now employes all of UAGC faculty, administrators and staff.
🖐️ question : … is accreditation as much of a major issue at the doctoral level? For example some DBA programs require dissertation and some don’t … along with various different accreditations .. thoughts?
I guess what I’m asking is, at that level are the degrees viewed as favorably by education institutions as they would be in the business world
@@SaggyJ It mostly depends on your audience. If you're interviewing for a job, especially with someone who doesn't have a terminal degree themselves (common), then chances are VERY good they aren't going to know the difference enough to really have an opinion. But anyone who understands the world of terminal degrees is going to think less of yours if you don't complete a dissertation. That doesn't mean it wouldn't still be worth getting, but it is something to consider. What you plan to use it for is really what should decide whether you can go the non-dissertation route (in which case the program usually requires a capstone project or something akin). :)
@@CollegeHackedcan you do a video on non-dissertation DHA competency based programs.
@@Pelgab1Not a video, but we can help in a personal session! collegehacked.com
Hello, great content & video! I recently graduated with an MBA from LSU & now I want to get my PhD in Industrial/Organizational Psychology. I have been doing a lot of research about universities that have what I am looking for. I am really considering Keiser University in Florida. Can you please give me some honest feedback about them and tell me what you think?
Looks like an excellent program, just eyeballing it briefly. The only thing I see worth looking into is why they don't have CACREP accreditation for their psych programs, and whether that will affect anything you're hoping to do in the future :) It's unlikely to, but worth looking at.
@@CollegeHackedawesome thank you for the response! I do not plan to get licensed as a clinical practitioner in psychology. I want to work within organizations in an executive/senior role. Their psychology programs adhere to & follow APA standards/guidelines but are not accredited by the APA or CACREP due to insufficient length of time for the programs. However, they are non-profit, regionally accredited, have about a 67% graduation rate for grad students & a 71% retention rate. The only downfall I can see is that they’re a private university with a slightly higher annual tuition cost based on the national average.
Excellent! You clearly did great research 😄 Glad the lack of CACREP doesn’t matter for you. I’ll be keeping this school in mind for our grad school shopping clients, thanks for the tip 😉
There are a few other notable online schools that were included in the 2022 list of loan cancellation schools. These include Grand Canyon University, Purdue University Global, South University, Walden University, Everglades University. Even though Purdue University Global is now a public non-profit institution most of their services are actually administered by Kaplan Higher Education (a for-profit company which previously managed Kaplan University).
You are right about this! Good point
@@CollegeHacked An interesting new update from this week: the Dept of Ed. just fined GCU $37 million for misleading students about expected tuition costs for doctoral programs.
@@jyoz08 This whole saga is VERY interesting, because 2% of students DID finish in the time/cost projections the school provided, so it isn't that it was impossible... just improbable. Which begs the question: how much responsibility do you put on the school for student progression?
@@CollegeHacked Very true. I think what makes this even more complicated is that a lot of these doctoral students were given additional "continuation courses" to complete that were not originally on their course plan. So, it's hard to tell if they were really needed by these students to complete their dissertation or if they were added just to prolong their time with the school.
I would imagine that a school would re-evaluate the curriculum if only 2% are graduating on time; and modify it with the appropriate coursework so that a more reasonable expectation is set early on.
@@jyoz08Well said. It sort of sounded to us like maybe the core issue was a staffing problem, so the continuation courses became the schools way of creating a holding pattern for students until they could get to the faculty they needed. But it could just as well have been an intentional money grab 😂 Will be interesting to see how the lawsuit settles. Don’t think it would be a bad thing to see them lose and watch a precedent be set for other schools as well-take care of your students and invest in their success!
Question- I am taken courses through Sophia with a partnership with Capella. The courses are free because of my employer. My question is could or should I take my credits from Sophia and attended another college?
I say yes go to a more respectable school. My employer has the same program through guild and I was thinking the same thing
@@shanice1661 thanks Shanice!
We agree with Shanice ;)
Going to Capella now for a BBA... I wish I hadn't... they lied about how to get into Flexpath and now I've spent most of the money I had for school. They paid for Sophia so at the end of the month I'll have over 100 credits there. 80 more to graduate!
You could still bail into another program if you want :) Finish up somewhere else in a Liberal Studies degree that will hold all your transfer credit. You can do an entire BA at UMPI for $6k ❤️
@@CollegeHacked thank you for the tip!!! Which college would you recommend for the liberal studies degree? I’m assuming an AA/AS
@@hookedonhustle5103With the credit you have (from what it sounds like anyway!) you’ll want to jump into a bachelors rather than an associates, a BS or a BA would be fine, that’s not make or break. But if you’re really set on an associates first, Liberty does have an AA in Interdisciplinary Studies. :) If you’re looking for fastest/least expensive bachelors though, it’s going to be UMPI’s Liberal Studies Management, YourPace degree!
@@CollegeHacked you’re awesome!!!! I’ll look into it :)
I just had horrible experience with Capella. I thought it was just me. My 2nd academic advisor just stopped communicating with me. Professors were their on TAs,I can go on. My job was doing tuition reimbursement but I'm not sure it's even worth it.
I know someone who's going through University of Phoenix for associate degree and claims to love it. She has a 4.0, only been in for a few months and already is 40 percent complete. Weird.
It works for some people, hopefully she’s one of them! 😅
Have you looked into California coast university at all? It’s a for profit but EXTREMELY cheap per credit hour…
Definitely better than most for-profits! But at $21,420 for a bachelors when you can do one at UMPI for $5,500, it’s kinda like why? 😅
This was good
Do you know anything about Excelsior University? formally excelsior college, and a bunch of other names; they give full BAs in 6 months, all online with religious classes.
They are hackable! There are generally better schools (it can be hard to get the upper levels needed there), but it depends on the major you’re going for.
@@CollegeHacked What does that mean they are hackable? I was asking more if you know how they are a scam. How can they call themselves a university? Their "students" barely have a curriculum, I know someone who has done it, and it is a joke.
I don’t know how to feel about this…😂. I have a B.S. in Management from CTU, an Associate from AMU, and completing certificate from AMU. I was able to complete an MPA from Villanova without any issues.
Good!! Sometimes it really works out 😁 There’s a type of person who is just sort of determined to make the best of things and use every tool they have to be successful no matter the circumstances. This likely describes you! 🥳
I’m late to the party but I also go to AMU I got over 60 credits transferred from Sophia. To be fair I don’t see why the graduation rate is so low since the classes are not overly complicated. I actually love the school.
So glad you’re having a good experience! 😄
Recently i was browsing te offerings of online schools and checked U of phoenix. In the UK i get a message saying the programs are not offered in my location. I know the UK didn't get this message last year. So I'm assuming something happened there. Likely not a good sign.
Definitely not a good sign 😂 Phoenix doing Phoenix things 😉
The way Lauren was treated by SNHU makes me think that they may be headed for the list.
🤣 Maybe on principle we should 😜 But thankfully they at least still accept a lot of Study and have good quality degrees, so they can stay off the list.. for now!
Any news on Sophia and other colleges like you want UMPI not accepting them
We haven’t seen any other schools we routinely hack changing Sophia acceptance this year. I wouldn’t be surprised to see more of it next June-August though!
Knocking out the rest of my Sophia courses by the end of next month just incase UMGC changes its policy
In 2016 - I was freshly divorced, on my own, with two kids to raise. I was not making enough money to get by. So, I went online and CTU came up. Admissions hit me up and really got me going, and told me that I would be making 140k-160k upon graduation. I worked hard for a degree that, in the end, wasn't worth much. I ended up working a job making about 50k for 3 years.
It isn't that I don't want to pay back the loans. I put in a borrower's defense to repayment. It's been a year, I'm still waiting. Should be another 2 years until it happens, if it ever even does. In the meantime, I'm just in limbo. My income went way up last year but that was because of merit, and it isn't in the 140k to 160k bracket I was assured of.
This whole thing is garbage. All of it. The economy really is just a bunch of people hoodwinking everyone else. It's annoying when you just want to do a good job and have no ill intentions.
I’m debating between Capella and souther New Hampshire!! Help! For psychological online and don’t have that much money to use out of pocket!!
Look into UMPI’s YourPace Psychology bachelors. You can potentially finish for about $6k total :) Definitely not Capella though!
DEF don’t recommend any for profit schools for UNDERGRAD!!! It simply isn’t worth it. As an undergrad you will need more instructional support and guidance as you map out your career. Always go to a more established program for undergrad because it’s a foundational degree. Master’s is more specialized, so you COULD do a for profit school for that, but there are also better options depending on your lifestyle. In general, only use for profit schools if you are already a professional with a family and demanding job, etc., and for the purposes of upskilling or solidifying your expertise functionally. If you have the flexibility to be on campus and live the student life, then definitely shoot for the moon with non-profit, well-established programs.
I think APUS has such a low grad rate because of their American Military University side. In the Air Force many students sign up for AMU to get enough credits for their CCAF and then don't really care about going further. Also, their is incentive in the military to just take a class for your performance report. This leads to people taking one class a year just check a box for their performance report.
Great info!
American Military University has been a great experience for me and you can college hack it
APU has been a great experience, I think you gave a bogus review? are you being paid off by WGU?
@@atollmedicdiving my review was in defense of AMU and APUS. I'm saying it's not that it's a bad school, but that it's students come from a demographic that doesn't typically complete their degree.
Can I take a competency-based degree with an institution that allows international students? (I live in Europe) I see that they only take in US residents.
University of Maine at Presque Isle accepts international students into its YourPace majors, and they are competency based :)
@@CollegeHacked nice thank you for your quick reply. What about master degrees?
@@hamza2038 If you're asking about competency based masters degrees, UMPI has a Master of Arts in Organizational Leadership! There are other competency based options as well, like the ExcelTrack degrees at Purdue Global. :)
I Noticed nobody talked about the "University of Arkansas grantham" are they a good school?
I took a quick look at the transfer policy page and they look good so far :) They allow the max of 90/120 credits to be transferred and they talk directly about accepting CLEP, DSSTs, and ACE credits like Sophia.
@@CollegeHacked Thanks a lot for the info; also, can you do a video on the school if it's a good online school overall.
@@mindhunter8772 they are nationally accredited, not regionally accredited. It will be difficult to find a respectable graduate school that will recognize their degrees.
How is Walden University for a Psychology PhD?
CTU just had a “Success Coach” yell at me that she didn’t work for me. 22k-26k and I should shut my mouth and let the instructor wreck my grade with his basic instruction. Was taught Masters APA format just to be told CTU only accepts the prior version from the Bachelor program. I paid to attend 2 classes that pushed Masters APA only for the CJ instructors to not accept it. Masters program and being taught to go backwards.
Ouch 😔 Sorry you had that experience! There are definitely schools who won’t yell at you :)
I’m reminded of a Family Guy sketch:
“My son got into DeVry,”
“What did he do, open the door?”😂😂😂
🤣🤣 So many good DeVry jokes sprinkled into Family Guy and The Simpsons.
There used to be a brick and mortar devry building in my city but they lost their lease.
Can you review chamberlain university school of nursing?
Chamberlain is part of the DeVry University family, so it is a private, for-profit school. That doesn’t mean it’s a bad school, just that there are better ones we recommend (like WGU). Also, look into your local hospital to get your RN license. There are great RN to BSN bachelor’s degree options online that will save you a ton of money. :) If you go straight into a BSN without the RN, there will be residential time required.
Hey! Which online school and major do you recommend for a quick and cheap bachelors degree? Single mom low income.
Hey! Psychology (or really any of the majors) at UMPI (specifically the YourPace programs) 😊
Thank you so much! Love your channel!
@@Acrrscohave you decided yet? I’m kinda torn between liberal studies and criminal justice. Not psych as it’s not ‘YourPace’.
@@TimTim__ I believe they just started offering the BA in PSY as an option for YourPace!
1 year LPN program or a Google Professional certificate instead of a degree. Either way you will start at $50,000+. A Bachelor's degree in psychology pays nothing and has zero demand. If you are interested in psychology plan on getting a doctorate.
this school target low income families, all you see is them advertising and promising good jobs 😮
I’m going to APU right now and I like it
Glad it’s working out for you!
I graduated from apus❤. I loved this school. It led me to great career paths... notice I said paths...
Do you recommend it for someone who wants an associate degree in criminal justice?
UOP worked well for everyone I have known who graduated.
Worked well for me as well, almost done 3.96 GPA now. You get what you put into the program. Great instructors, no issues, and I paid out of pocket I refuse to use student loans. I recommend them, only if you can self manage your time and work hard.
Have to agree. I just finished an I/O Masters from UOPX, and the coursework was absolutely sound and attributed to my daily work. I generally don’t recommend for-profit schools for BA because it’s too pricey and not enough support for folks new to their careers, but having said that, the folks who I know who have gone have done well for themselves. UOPX also has the largest representation of workers in fortune 500 companies. The gripe is mostly cost and perception. But functionally, it’s served many folks well.
@@STR00m482 congrats to you 💯
Which universities have the best and cheaper flex paths?
If by flex path you mean competency based education, we are fans of UMPI, WGU, and Purdue Global :)
@@CollegeHacked Thank you. Any thoughts on American Sentinel University of Post University
What is the best option for Sophia?
Do you mean which school accepts the most Sophia? UMPI :)
University of the Cumberlands followed by Liberty. Decide where you plan to attend and your major before starting Sophia so you know which courses will be accepted and which specific requirements they fulfill.
I graduated with a MBA from Strayer. I didn’t know I was part of the 16%. It was fine but I think there are better options.
Way to beat the odds 🤩
It's funny, because that's the only degree from Strayer that employers respect even a little-that I've seen. Mentioned this on an NBC college vid- someone I attended undergrad with got his MBA from Welch and is currently at Oracle. Any other degree from there...good luck😅
With that being said I’m wanting to study for a bachelor’s degree in IT. Is it worth it?

It’s hilarious that Military is advised to do AMU (American Military University) that is a part of APU (American Public University) when better alternatives like WGU (Western Governor’s University) are exceedingly better for multiple reasons.

I graduate from american public unversity systems. It was a great school
I don’t have a prob with for profit schools
let’s face it- the so called non profits or state schools are raking in the tax payer dollars and admin is getting fat while producing less and less actual job ready people who can realistically hit the ground running in their career of choice. They aren’t teaching job training or job training skills employers need and want.
Plus - it’s ridiculous to charge by the credit hour. It’s time this model went away.
And it’s time to do away with all of these bill padding classes that aren’t relevant to the degree and are only there to make these university boards money & admin money 🤷🏻♀️ while being touted as “you want to be a well rounded student?!”. No, I want relevant career development not art history or biological science when I’m not going into anything that will ever remotely need that kind of knowledge 🤦🏻♀️.
Jennifer for president! If you do away with charging per credit hour, we’d vote for you 🗳️😎
Online Programs are meant for Digital Bootcamps. Otherwise, Lecturing Bootcamps or Trade School.
Not sure if you’re saying all online degrees that aren’t bootcamps are bad?
@@CollegeHacked It's people's intention to go to a program where to receive certificate instead of degree. I rarely say trade school for a plan b to earn a degree. Bootcamps are either lecturing or online. It's two ways to earn certificate and they're well known.
UOPX did some shady stuff, but they cleaned up their act. My undergrad degree cost me 53k, which is not overpriced. I saw some guy in the comments say a "friend" spent 80k on an undergrad in the comments, and that's probably due to something his friend did and not the school. I love the videos, but as with all UA-camrs, our guy here probably has an agenda. I guess my post means I have an agenda also, lol.
My agenda is keeping people out of predatory schools :) I’m really glad you had a good experience, and that does happen, but UoP has done a lot more damage than good in our humble opinion. The book Lower Ed by Tressie McMillan Cottom is really good!
I attend the university of Phoenix, almost done with my degree and have had an amazing time
Glad to hear it!!
What do you think of wgu?
Love it!
Brick and mortar unis are also for profit. They just hide the fact better.
Some are, definitely
We international students think need f1 visas so we mostly don’t care
Please, Have you applied?
Please, Are you still considering strayer?
Purdue Global University will be on this list next. Just watch
Don’t speak it into existence!! 😅
Nooo I was specifically hoping it wasn't on this list. Glad it isn't. Currently going there and having a good time, I've heard others have a rough time though
Will you make timestamps?
This is a great suggestion, and something I should definitely do. :) We’ll find out if it happens together!
Lol I graduated from AIU it all true
Actually, American Military University/APU is a great school
We hear VERY bad things from a lot of our commenters, would love to hear more about your experience and what you liked about it :)
@@CollegeHacked I depends on what degree program. For management and healthcare administration, The School of Health Sciences, it was very good
Do you recommend it for a degree in criminal justice?
If your seeking knowledge, then yes; but if you’re seeking clout, just to be able to say you attended a prestigious school for the same information, then no. In today’s world, the information is key, not the school
Why isn't SSBM in this
If you mean the school in Switzerland, we only focus on US schools 😊
story hour.....all you do is read to us.....with a basic high school education we can read this all by ourselves
Many subscribers on this channel don’t have any education, reading is probably helpful for them 😘
@@CollegeHackedif they are typing it in here, they can read. But they might not know the difference between there and their.
another case of being in love with your own voice......cut out the drama
Thanks for the helpful feedback 😉
Welcome to the most “Perfect system”……..Capitalism

It might not be too late to transfer 😝
