UMass Global Reviews of Bachelor's in Social Sciences

"Brandman University provided me with the tools and knowledge that I need for my future endeavors in the social services field. The classes were available online and allowed me to complete my work within my schedule. Specifically, the instructors were knowledgeable and helpful when I had any difficulties and provided separate hours for any assistance I needed outside of the online classroom. My only complaint about the University is that my advisor relocated during my completion of my degree and was never replaced. Because of this, though I finished my degree, I was not informed that I did not have the required amount of credits to be eligible for Latin honors. I was very disappointed that I was 1 class short of their requirement and when I followed through with the appeal process to be able to take the 1 extra class, I was informed that the issue was not petitionary. I maintain a 3.93 GPA and was very disappointed that my Summa Cum Laude distinction was left off of my degree."

"This was such a horrible experience! i was just trying to get my BA degree. these people are rude and inconsiderate. the first time they screwed up they encouraged me to quit because they already had the money, now they are waiting on the money and not comunicating at all. i tried the main campus and she actually hung up on me! wow im so done and i dont care if you know my real name. youve seen me face to face and still screwed me so who cares! with 3 classes left i will gladly go elsewhere!"

"It's got great professors. Make sure you stay on top of your financial aid and be your own advocate."

"I chose Brandman University for my Bachelor program because, formerly named Chapman University College, Brandman (Chapman) University is a diverse, prestigious, private, non-profit, regionally accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) institution, within the Chapman University System, that provides exceptional educational opportunities for working adults, military personnel, their spouses, and veterans. I chose Brandman University because it has some of top online bachelor's programs per U.S. News & World Report and it is a top designated Military Friendly School. Brandman University has developed partnerships with a great deal of community colleges and other college institutions in several states including California, Texas, and Washington to make course credits more easily transferable - no restrictions. Brandman University offers online students the flexibility of taking both online and on-campus options without requiring a petition process or extensive paperwork - you can earn your entire degree online. Brandman University has a pretty cool LinkedIn group for students and alumni."

"I graduated from Brandman with a BA and I was extremely satisfied! Not only did I receive quality education, but it prepared me for my future endeavours. I am now at a very well known expensive grad school and I was more impressed with Brandman in many ways. I did experience a few sub-par instructors at Brandman, but because the students have a voice here, they quickly got replaced. Brandman deserves five stars because of the personal interactions with staff and faculty, Chapman bookstore and Library facilities and constant support from the school. They want you to succeed but they don't give out A's if you don't put in the effort. Submission is pretty lenient, but if you're not ready to work hard, you're not going to have a good experience. This is great education for much cheaper than it should be."
