Salary and Debt by Major at Purdue Global
We calculated a Salary Score for each of Purdue Global's programs by comparing program-specific median alumni earnings to median alumni earnings for the same program across all schools that provide this data. This way, students can compare the relative salary strength of a specific major at Purdue Global to the same major at other schools. A school's overall score by level is based on the school's by-program performance weighted by student enrollment in each program.

It's fine, its a very easy school, as long as you do your homework you will graduate. I wish there was more variaty of learning. Example, I am a hands on learner, offering some kind of lab would be benefitial for people like me. It helps me understand. I feel like I got more out of the communuity college that I came from than I did on this program, but that is my learning style. Plus it is significantly cheaper.
My experience as student at Putdue Global University was great. The course work was manageable as u all know working and going to school can sometimes be hectic. My professors were excellent they make sure the course work were explained in full and you understood the materials. They made themselves available if you needed help. My advisor Andrew Oliver was great throughout my time at the school. I would recommend Purdue Global to anyone that wants to go back to school.
