Duquesne University Reviews
Most Recent Reviews
I had requested on several occasions and was not offered any additional resources. We experienced a death in the family and they were less than empathetic. Horrible catholic university. Requests to meet with program director and instructor were ignored.
If you excel at paying an exorbitant amount of money for self-taught learning and useless busy work then this is the school for you! Honestly one of the biggest wastes of time I have partaken in my life. My professor…YouTube. The education system as a whole is so flawed. This university and its professors offered me nothing except busy work and unfair tests. I am deeply embarrassed for this nursing school and my status as alumni.
