Trident University International

I was a transfer graduate student. When I was in the process of transferring to this university I was told by two admissions counselors that both of my graduate classes would be accepted by Trident. This was a lie. Both counselors told me what I wanted to hear so that I would choose Trident. I used Trident's complaint resolution system to no avail. I spoke to many people up to and including the vice president of admissions and all I received was excuses so what I was promised never happened. I will... Read More transfer to another university. I would give zero stars if I could. I recommend not to attend this university

I am having a difficult time with the lack of curriculum and being forced to interact with students on the lowest levels of the academic spectrum. This school has used more YouTube lectures and Wiki-type references than I thought possible. In response to their accreditation being threatened, they decided to make the assignment’s harder and longer. The problem is the instruction is still the same. The classes lack references to actual academic sources of information. Investment Analysis should not... Read More be taught using Investopedia. I had to use other online libraries to gain access to Harvard Business Review articles. I joke that my degree is a Google Education because I am self-taught. My accounting professor said I had to use his elementary PowerPoint references in my paper. Instead, I found an MIT textbook with better information. As far as the other students go, I feel as though I am at the top of the bell curve because of the exponential downturn in the IQ of other people enrolled. For a prime example, read Lavenia Taylor’s comment. I believe she meant to write the following: I have lost all hope with my education. I no longer qualified for financial aid because I earned a B- , which lowered my GPA to an unacceptable level. I cannot pay out-of-pocket, I have no money. I will now be forced to apply for a private loan. I already messed up my BA. College is not worth it. College got me nowhere in life, and I am almost 30. The fact that I am forced to interact with college students possessing the grammar skills of my kindergarten son is enough to lower the school’s ranking. Sorry Lavenia, but you are the reason my “college” education is being diluted to an expensive online extension of high school. Overall, they will gladly take $1,000 per class. They were definitely helpful when I needed to complete a FAFSA application for a grant. You will teach yourself and occasionally be smarter than the professors. Your experience in the discussion boards with crush your soul with the immense stupidity of other enrolled members. A quote from my last discussion board, “I lik that government keep us wit the money baked by gold.” I believe this person was trying to say our currency is still backed by gold, and I proceeded to correct the ignorance in a 400-level course. This was a response to a question about the feasibility of long-term quantitative easing with fiat currencies. P.S. We probably got the same score for the discussion points.

TERRIBLE SCHOOL! - Very bad experience ... twice! The first time was several years ago and was a communication snafu facilitated by all reps being in Military - must have had four reps in the three months I was enrolled. This last time, either through design or incompetence, the portal to class slammed closed on midnight of last day - not just limited to read-only but barred from entering "classroom". I learned about a week later that I had earned an A- in that class, but I was given no feedback... Read More for the last two class projects - nor was I allowed to renter class to copy down "Discussion" posts - of which I was a leader in the class and very prolific. IT was unwilling to help; Instructor was unwilling to help; Customer Service was unable to help; Dean was unwilling to help. The week-long struggle to obtain closure on this created so much stress and anxiety for me that had to drop my then current class. Although it was prior to due date of first project it was apparently not prior to last date to drop - so they called it a Withdrawal and levied a $750 fee. I did not learn about that issue until my transcript request was late getting to my prospective school - two weeks later. Terrible school! Terrible Customer Service and Terrible Curriculum! Their is absolutely no intellectual Property at TUI. Their entire curriculum is based on other scholars' works. The "Projects" consist of terse directions that appeared to be Cut & Pasted from previous projects. Barely intelligible due to their disjointed nature. Terrible School and terrible Online Application. Their Discussion App is very poorly written - they actually said I should write discussions in Word and copy into the app to bypass some of the app's failings - this suggestion came too late. Read the Wikipedia article about their finances - you'll be lucky to graduate before they go under - or they lose their accreditation.

I once loved this school. However, the FA department is so disorganized that they have caused me more pain than I can tolerate. My VA benefits wore off but I specifically stated that I wanted FASFA as a second option. They waited AFTER my classes were finished before they told me that my student loans/grants didn't go through, even though I had fixed the problems long before they even knew about them. What's really screwed up is that they didn't allow me to finish my course extensions. So, the work... Read More that I did was for nothing...and I failed. I'm dropping it for another college. Don't waste your money nor time.

I think that Trident University International offers a great educational experience. I started with them in late 2008, while deployed to Iraq, and set out to do a dual Master's program in both Business Administration as well as in Human Resource Management. I enjoyed doing it online and the materials were on the website with no CD's or books. I was able to graduate in 2009 with two Master's Degrees. I started my Master's, again, in late 2013 in Early Childhood Education and another Master's Degree... Read More in Educational Leadership and Administration; I finished both of those in the spring of 2015. I still had over a year left on my GI Bill so I decided to do a Master's Degree in Leadership, in spring 2015, and I will be finished this coming week. Point is- it's a great school, the Professor's are professional and are willing to go above and beyond to make sure students are taken care of.

Trident for me was the right choice I am currently in the military and school for me has always been put on hold due to other obligation, but one day just looking for away to change my life the subject of school came up. I started taking classes and believe me it was the best decision ever Trident teachers have made getting a degree so easy, and now I have a Bachelor's degree. Now my story does not end here I will be starting my Master's program in june and to think all I did was answer a Ad on the... Read More internet now I am a graduate.

I took my BSHS degree while onboard the ship and graduated, the instructors were very understanding. The staff were helpful and always responded to my inquiry promptly. Immediately after my BSHS, I completed my MSHA. Now, I am trying to take another master degrees at another school but they have very poor communication. Their follow-up with students especially new one was not as great as Trident. I wish Trident have a dual degree in Cyber/MBA, I will definitely go back to them! Definitely a great...

I received my BSBA in 2011 and an MBA in 2014 from Trident University International. I feel that the course work was very rigorous and demanded at times. The instructors were very helpful and the school administration provided guidance every step of the way. My decision to pursue both degrees through Trident greatly increased my knowledge of many different facets of business operations and I have no regrets. I have read quite a lot of reviews that put down Trident University and try to discredit... Read More the online learning experience in general. I have attended both brick and mortar and online institutions in my path to higher learning. I can report that the quality of my education was not degraded because of the online delivery method. My goal was to learn about the business world without leaving the workforce and Trident was a perfect fit. I would definitely recommend Trident University to anyone seeking an online college education. Great experience overall!

Trident University International really puts forth serious efforts in terms of catering to, recognizing, promoting and celebrating diversity. As a university, they are doing really well accepting diversity and making accommodations for diversity of all genres, not just race. TUI offers a variety of classes, and it gives the students the opportunity to take them. Professors are mixed. All my professors have been great and easily accessible. Some just gave lectures and didn't care much about the students.... Read More However, my goal was to obtain my degree. Knowledge of professors are above average. My rating of TUI overall niche grade is A+.
