Currently attending CTU. Here's an honest review so far:

The admissions process was simple and easy. Their Fast Track program is amazing. I will have 40% of my degree completed by the time Christmas ...rolls around. The student portal is simple and easy to navigate. Everyone I talk to is friendly and helpful. With all that said, there are areas for improvement. Communication between departments needs a bit of work, especially academics and financial aid. My admissions advisor has been amazing, but I have yet to talk to my student advisor once. I get automated emails about not turning anything in for a week (I am a go-getter and do everything for the week on one day), but nothing. I've been playing phone tag with him for weeks now. On the flip side, everyone in the academic advisement department has been super awesome and did everything I needed.

In short, keep on top of your financial aid and accounts, make sure you get answers in writing as well as verbal, and be a self-starter.

I'll update this review as my time goes on with CTU. See More

So, the classes were fine and I enjoyed going to school... Except that I was working full time during the day and needed to take classes at night. They cancelled or changed my degree program (digital ...media and design) and told me they'd still offer classes... They offered them during the day only. I was unable to complete my degree because of this and am now stuck with over $40k in loans that no one will forgive and I can do nothing about, as far as I know. No degree to show for my time, but a huge pile of debt. I was about a year away from completion before they screwed me out of being able to finish. Truly makes me wish I would have waited to go to college, or nor gone at all and pursued a certification or something. Wouldn't recommend to others. See More

I wouldn't spend another dime on this college... the teachers are not there to help you and the school will not do anything to help either. I have asked to drop my classes for the future sessions a fe...w times and they refuse to drop me and then I ask to talk to the dean to voice my issues and they won't let me talk to anyone. Very poor and unprofessional. See More

I read a lot of the negative reviews before I started but one of the best ones was the person who said you have to be very proactive so I followed that advice. I graduated with my cyber-security degre...e bachelor's in 11 months I took advantage of the Fast Trax and the prior learning and I have maintained a 4.0. I graduate in 5 and 1/2 weeks then I start my masters in cybersecurity of which I plan to do the same thing and start the doctoral advantage after 3 courses. Many people complain that they don't understand the accounting it's pretty simple $325 a credit and every 3 months $125 technology fee. For all the prior learning assessment narrative that I submitted that I gained course credit for I wasn't charged a dime. And they have already given me credit for $2,000 grant for my Master's for lifelong learning. I will say my student advisor was useless but I managed to after many emails to multiple departments till I drove them crazy LOL found two amazing advisor in the prior learning Department. I did have a problem with my funds because I did a course overload of which was approved but through my whole account into a weird balance but they fixed it quickly. If you need to drop a course and trust me I dropped and added courses every term you just need to know you need to do it within one week of the term starting I believe, after that time they tell you in the documentation that they send you what's the criteria is so you just need to be proactive and smart. Prior to making my decision to attend CTU I had read a lot of negative reviews on consumer affairs and here.. in fact I sent a very strongly worded email to about five or six people and the admissions director called me and we spoke about the negative reviews and I told them that I do understand that out of every person they work with the chances of getting a negative review are much higher than somebody writing a positive review. People who are happy usually don't take the time to write something up people who are pissed off do. So I told him I understood that but I wanted some assurances and then I told him that they need to have a moderator on all these type of sites to address the issues and concerns of the negative reviewers to help those who had a bad experience and they have since done that. My initial estimation of my bachelor's with 60k but I managed to do it with only 15 so don't be helpless don't complain don't expect somebody to hold your hand through it this is a college for adults who have been in the business world and you know how to get stuff done. If you haven't been in the business world and don't know how to be proactive and don't understand that even though you're in college you're not going to get your handheld if you want that you should go to a brick-and-mortar school..

I have had a good experience for the most part. Besides some of the classes not being compatible with my computer/phone. I like learning, but I feel like I haven't learned things that I'm going to sch...ool for. And I'm told it's General education credits that are required, but I'm still not learning about Healthcare Administration services. I have high hope though that all this time and effort won't be for nothing.
I do appreciate all the time the professors take to teach classes tho! See More

They are minutes away from being audited and completely crushed by anyone with a rudementary understanding of finances. They constantly badger me about being late on making payments, and I prove them... wrong with simple math every time. Also, good luck getting anyone to call you back about anything. Seriously I don't know how nobody has opened a class action lawsuit against them and their finances. Maybe I'll do that. See More

Really sucks that when you fail one class you are automatically put on a probation. Well the communication was lacking cuz we werent aware we were automatically put on probabtion never had an email ph...one call or letter stating that. And a few classes later made a C and was withdrawn from school altogether because a C didnt exceed their expectations for probation not to mention they told us we would have to pay a withdrawl fee of 300 bucks when the school was the one that withdrew us.

I see all these post about CTU and most of them seem to be positive ones so I am voicing my opinion. I got Associate of science in medical billing and coding in 2009 and in 2011 I got Bachelor of sci...ence in Business Administration in health care management and in 2012 I got master of business administration in health care management and no matter what I do I can't seam to get a job in any of these fields I wanted to better my life with a better job and I am still stuck with the job I have I love my job I just wish now I did not waste all the four year in Colorado Technician University (CTU). and having a extremely large bill to pay back when sometime I feel like I was pressured to take more classes. As of right now going to CTU was a waste of time. So before you decide to go to CTU makes sure it's the right school for u and that u r not wasting your time and money See More

I’m a current student and they suck well at least student accounts does I call and ask for an invoice and they say that they can’t send it now but it will be sent automatically. But y’all dumb asses s...ent me two that are incorrect a few days after the class started. I think I’ll start looking for a new school I’ve been reading some of the reviews and honestly I don’t know if I want CTU on my degree See More

Long story short I went to CTU and graduated but once I graduated they stuck me with a huge bill which was never advised to me. I had to take a class 3 times because on a conflict with the instructor.... I was told by the school that they apologized and "dropped the ball" I have a ton of emails from different staff members which the turn around rate is ridiculous at this school. The Ombudsman department contacted me acting like they were the good guys and they were on the students side but they aren't they are paid by the school. The school has done this to numerous students if you look at their reviews. I wish I would have looked at their reviews before applying but all I can do now is warn others about this school. Do not waste your time trusting a school that claims to care about the students but just cares about money. See More

While on active duty in Colorado Springs I attended CTU and took the decade plan, lol. Since serving our country came first, I was only able to take one class a quarter. After earning my ASET I conti...nued attending CTU. Upon retiring from the USAF I attended CTU full time earning a BSEET degree.

After years had gone by, I picked up the phone and contacted CTU and started working on my MSM degree with an emphasis in project management. The process was simple, fast and course work began almost immediately. Financial aid was in place and I began my path to earning another degree.

The entire program took a great deal of work on my part and the only negative thing I have to say is it was difficult listening to the lectures due to hearing loss and being able to understand some of the professors accents, and there were a few.

I really do not understand where others post negative experiences about having to pay back their loans when they took out the loans in the first place. Sure, the tuition is high but the experience I received in return is two-fold!

Thank you CTU!

So far my experience with CTU has been spectacular. My Advisor checks in with me quite frequently and the financial aid process was pretty straight forward with a little hiccup with one part but they ...worked with me to get it fixed. The classes are pretty well organized and it takes a minute or two to get accustomed to the Classroom. Intellipath is very awesome way to approach learning and it ensures you actually learn what you don't know. I feel way more confident going here after seeing how things are after completing orientation and starting an actual class. I am currently enrolled for Software Engineering... something I never though I would enjoy but found out that Networking wasn't what I truly wanted to do. Get out there and explore what a job does and see if that makes you happy... it's not always about the money!

To those who had bad experiences with the school.. hopefully a good job or a better school will be around the horizon soon. See More

*Update* I got an email saying that I would be withdrawn from the university if I didn't send $500. I finally spoke to my accounts adviser about all of this and he didn't offer any real solution excep...t to file a grievance. He didn't seem to care at all! Stated life is hard for everyone and the government is paying for my schooling anyway! Last time I checked student loans had to be paid back! I called financial aid to find out what the consequences of withdrawing now are and got no real answers either. All these people want to do is avoid the question and transfer me somewhere else. Don't mess with this college. The instructors have all been awesome and classes are great but this guy made it clear what they are all about. That is really sad because I thought the program was perfect and such a good fit for my life.

All of my instructors have been really great. Be careful though! I was tricked into starting before my transcript was sent and have about a $10,000 debt and have only actually taken one class that I should have actually had to pay for. It's extremely frustrating! Don't take anything you can fast track out of and make sure they put you in the right class because I just wasted 5 months and 10,000! At this point, I've wasted a ton of time on the phone just to get transferred to lines with no voicemail and get no answers. See More

Degrees are just as good as anything you can print online in terms of people respecting them. The financial aid team is abysmal. I had them charge a fee they never disclosed and have had two low level... employees as well as a financial aid "team lead" lie to me which a financial aid "manager" admitted to without any form of recourse or consideration for the duress it has placed on my family given I budgeted one way while their lack of ability to maintain accurate books required my budget to shrink nearly a month after the issue should have been caught. Oh, and they only caught the issue cause I called em on it. Amazing work from a crack team. See More

I've been attending Colorado Technical University for my bachelor's in science of criminal justice and human behavior. This will open many doors for me. I chose to go to Colorado Technical because the...y have great credentials when I started I had never been to college before only to technical school for cosmetology. They were very patient with me and in this course that I was just in and we finished on December XXII I had all A's in every assignment that I turned in and I was very proud of that. My next class is Introduction two science of Criminal Justice and I can't wait. I'm very excited they will make you excited they build you up. They make you know that you can do it they are a very encouraging staff of professionals can really do take their time and work with you and they're very patient. See More

Very disturbing to have found out this morning (days before class start) that although I was told by CTU I could take 4 classes and be done in December, that was a LIE! The conversation was recorded... by Me & it was noted in the file that it was already approved on 8/8/17. Now they are saying I can not finish until March. If for whatever reason I am unable to finish in December I 100% blame this school. When I make it to my masters program I'll be happy to switch schools and I'll never recommend anyone else to try them out See More

I recently graduated with my BSBA - Finance. CTU provided the best support during my entire time at CTU. Phone calls and emails were answered within a few hours even on the weekends. I highly recommen...d for anyone who is military affiliated. Great programs and financial aid for military students. I am looking forward to continuing my education with CTU in the future. See More

Isreala the Administration Advisor was very knowledgeable and helpful, she helped clear up any concerns I had with student financial aid, full and part time work load, fast track exams ext..! CTU Has... a very in depth Online curriculum and so many helpful options and tools to keep you organized and ensure your learning experience is stress free. Im very excited at the opportunity to pursue my Associates in Business Science and Management in the up coming quarter at CTU. Thank You and God Bless.. See More

So far I've had one Professor that's a liar. I've experienced constant problems with their Wi-Fi and the portal. Kind of makes you wonder.... if this is a Technical University why would they even have... those kind of problems, and more importantly with what we're paying for tuition where's the money going?
