I do not like to be negative. I want to share a concerning story. I video chatted a professor who ended up being licensed to practice in my own state while supposedly simultaneously chatting our department head who ended up being another administrative head who ended up being a Medicaid Disability rater. He is no longer licensed to practice psychology, anywhere according to the National Provider database. The non-administrative professor also used to be my neighbor. I realized it after the call. I believe that lying is something detested by my Creator, so therefore me. (Shabbat 55a) I am concerned about this school doing other things to other students. Family Therapy models can sometimes be strange as they have "paradoxical interventions." These can be quite outrageous sometimes to help a family get back together. This is not an intervention. I do not know what it is but it is unethical, lying, and illegal. I found all of this out with digging into why they denied my room and board when they admitted they give it to other students. They bankrupted my family despite before matriculating I had asked many questions about working or overlapping classes while taking out living expenses to finish early. I did my own research into the school for myself and the other reviewers who had experienced similar weaponization of financial aid. It was taken away because I complained and threatened to report them and sue. They said you cannot go to two schools at once. Yes you can. You cannot take room, board, and personal expenses at two schools. You cannot do Work Study at two schools. You cannot take state and federal grants at two schools. I wish the students and well meaning people who work or go here the best but I truly feel that with their past sanctions by the Department of Education (2011-2013) they need to be reigned in to protect students. Their level of retaliation is unseen and should be stopped. Permanently. They need permanent Inspector General oversight.

I have been at the school for about 6 years, also in the PhD program. Yes, you can wiz through your classes, but once you get the dissertation stage, all hell breaks loose. If you have a problem, you will notice it takes forever to get it solved, if at all. They constantly make changes that students are unaware of because there is no cohesion in getting information out. Trying sitting on your hands for 3 weeks waiting for your chair to return your work related to your dissertation. The person who gave it 5 stars is in for a big surprise and will find out he/she is not properly prepared. Also instructors are basically paper correctors, advisors are mail carriers, and the school is getting rich. But you would never know because most basic information available at schools is a secret at NCU. BEWARE.

I recently graduated with an MBA/Marketing from Northcentral University, and I found it was a great experience. The school teaches individuals to be disciplined in meeting deadlines and doing assignments. The mentors are one on one which is much more cohesive and the curriculum is challenging. I recently re-enrolled in a DBA/Marketing program

I love this school. I am a second year PhD student and this school is 100% online. It's one class every nine weeks and you submit your papers each week. Very reasonable with no fees as your tuition is one flat rate. Military discounts and great staff. I look forward to my graduation in 2016!!! Thank you NCU!

At NCU, all mentors are PhDs, and unlike some professors at "the brick, mortar and glass" universities I have also attended, NCU mentors are more rigid, highly professional, and extremely thorough in supporting learners throughout their learning experience in their chosen program.

So far a good experience, the advisers are knowledgeable in their enrollment process. The school has the program that I am looking for and I can do my desertation online. Can't wait to start my Doctorial degree next year.

Teachers don't care. They only want the money. They change their requirements constantly which is not fair. They can't even keep their finances in order telling you that you owe money that you don't.

I started to pursue my PhD last year (2018) and I have had 3 excellent instructors. Dr. Harkiolakis, Dr. Appunn, and Dr. Babb! Great feedback and communication every step of the way!
