Colorado Technical University Reviews of Bachelor's in Criminal Justice

"I just graduated with my bachelor's and I am still enrolled at CTU now to get my master's. The only downside I would share is the price. CTU is very expensive and I have a large amount of student loans owed now. I wanted my degree so I did it despite the cost. I think it is something that could use some reviewing however in the future. Staff and faculty have all been great in all my experiences with them so that goes a long way to know someone is willing to help you and talk to you. I am happy with my education and degree earned and the one I am currently working on now."

"This is an amazing university to attend. The instructors are professionals in their field of study. Unlike other places I attended, the instructors do everything they can to help you understand the material. It has been the best experience of my life."

"This was the second best experience of my life. The first is giving birth to my daughter. From my first contact with the counselors to the instructors, my experience has been great. I had my challenges with online study and research but I learned to stay consistent with my studies. I learned a lot from my instructors, as well as how dedicated other student were as well. I had planned to attend the ceremony but with everything going on around us, I missed that opportunity. All the speaker at the graduation were excellent especially professor Berry she was the best and she gave a lot of encouragement and affirmation. CTU you are the best!!!!"

"CTU does not have instructors, financial aid advisors or other staff who are equipped to or interested in assisting students. If you are entirely self sufficient and have the patience to deal with ill prepared staff, you may find CTU is for you. But if you would like support, this is likely not the school for you."

"Great experience. Most instructors were very knowledgeable. I received feedback almost immediately for any questions that I had. My student advisor was great and the admissions and financial aid department are top notch. Overall great experience which is why I re-enrolled for my Master's program!"

"This is an awesome school to obtain a degree from. They provide the best instructors who care about student success. The discussion board participation helps students to interact with others and to gain a different perspective of the topics discussed."

"I, in all honesty have to say this was the single most amazing and enlightening learning experience of my life and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. I learned so much and enjoyed doing at the same time, the instructor staff , support staff and my course mates were equally amazing. I would just say to anyone who is considering continuing, finishing or just going back to school, please keep CTU in mind. I had been out of school for an unbelievable amount of time and feared failure so much I just didn't believe I could be successful. CTU turned that negative mindset into a positive and it became possible for an old student like myself to graduate."

"This was the best school anyone could ever attend. I tell it every where that I go. The entire CTU Staff were great and there to assist me with any question's along the way throughout my studies here. I feel great & I wouldn't have it any other way!"

"I have enjoyed every day of what I have learned from my degree program. Having an opportunity to get back into school was very exciting at first. I was able to work my full time job was demanding at times, but yet I pushed on to complete every assignment that I had to do. Having a determination to complete what has been started made it that more enjoyable for the reward that was coming at the end. Every Professor that I had was very helpful and knowledgeable about each subject that was part of the course. If you don't understand the assignments there is a multitude help that is available to assist you, such as fellow students. library and the Professors."

"I am currently attending CTU-online and majoring in Bachelor's of Science in Criminal Justice. So far, I am pleased with my experience in the virtual campus. I definitely appreciate the flexibility and convenience of taking online courses. I really enjoy the live chats, I find them to be very informative and helpful. I also find that the instructors are very knowledgeable and I appreciate the fact that they incorporate their personal experiences within that particular career field that they are teaching us about. CTU's online campus provides a lot of great and useful resources. Instructors respond fairly quickly to emails and my student advisor checks up on me pretty often. One thing I really liked about CTU is the accelerated programs that they offer, meaning faster graduation. Also, they offer this new program called 'CTU FastTrack' which basically let's you drop classes in one week that you already have previous knowledge in, and still able to earn full credit. It is awesome because it not only cuts down on time but expenses as well. One thing that I have noticed is that it doesn't take much to excel in this school. The instructors grade fairly well, and basically if you make the effort to complete all assignments on time you will most likely receive good grades. The only bad thing I can think of is my experience with CTU's financial aid department. It took me about 3 months to set up my financial aid due to a lot of frustrating problems with communication and delivery. I must've had to resubmit important documents, including tax information, ssn card, etc. at least five different times because somehow it got lost in the mail, didn't reach the department, or one of the financial aid advisors gave me the wrong mailing address. So I am constantly calling them to see if they have received my documents. But even if they have received the documents, they take FOREVER to review them. One thing about the financial aid department is you have to constantly call them to check the status of your financial aid, if not there may be issues that need to be resolved and you will never know about it because the communication is terrible with these guys and they'll never contact you about it. Other than the terrible financial aid department, my overall experience with CTU is satisfying."
