Alliant International University Rankings by Salary Score™

I want to say that I am an excellent student and have only received A’s through incredibly hard work at this place. I truly wish I had done the research before agreeing to attend this university for my teaching credential and Masters in Education as a student intern. However I was hired by a 3rd party as a sub teacher and was offered a grant to cover part of the cost of attending so I was ignorant and trusted the parties involved. My experience has been so utterly terrible that I have decided to write this... Read More and other reviews to warn others. As mentioned in many of the other reviews, 99 percent of the work you do is ambiguous, vaguely written instructions and the EXACT SAME rubric being used for literally every assignment because it is so vaguely written it can be applied to anything. The professors themselves rarely understand the details of the assignments that they are giving to their students. NONE of the lesson plans you design are applicable to the classes you are actually teaching every day. The templates have changed 4 times in a year for how to put a lesson together, and they are literally nowhere close to what the edTPA asks teachers to put together. Top to bottom they set you up for failure, and unless you sacrifice your personal life you probably will not do well as you have to go look for even the most basic information and instructions. They do not prepare you IN ANY WAY for the edTPA, nor do they notify you of how to pursue it, or the deadlines you need to meet in order to graduate on time. Only 21% of the people in my program graduate on time. The professors grade based on their daily mood, they do not respond to emails or questions about their assignments until the assignment is 3 days late and not accepted any longer via university policy. EVERYTHING this university does is to make tons of money, forcing students to repeat multiple classes to line their coffers. There is no real concern for your success and only 14% of the graduates (3 people total) go into education because this place is so awful. If you have the choice to go literally anywhere else, i suggest doing so. It’s been nearly impossible to succeed.
