This experience had led me to learn accounting on my own time. I get to take classes whenever I want with no time frame. I was able to take a few classes after my first initial graduation. Being a csu global student had challenged me to learn a new comcept while getting my questions answered.

The flexibility and accreditation of the school as well as the success advisor have been awesome. I have seen an uptick in AI submissions from classmates as well as significant spelling and grammar errors from professors that feels like it cheapens the degree but feel that an issue across the board with online learning not just CSU. Overall great experience and would recommend for anyone looking to go to school while working.

Very poor and delayed communication

Very poor and delayed communication. I expressed confusion and frustration and was still not given clear direction. I was told my program would be covered by financial aid, which is why I chose to continue, and I was only awarded half the amount somehow. I was told to complete an adjustment application twice, and now I have been denied. Why was I told to complete the adjustment form if I’m not even eligible? Not sure how I was only awarded $2000.

MBA student response

I have greatly enjoyed my classes at CSU Global. The content has been extensive and challenging.
Professors have had varied styles of teaching with some going well beyond to convey greater expectations for their classes, which I enjoyed and agreed with. In some cases, the volume of material was a bit exhaustive, but that only forced me to go beyond my comfort zone, which more students need to do, and is reflected in discussion posts, where a variety of students seem less prepared than others.
Regardless, the curriculum is making a defined impact in my career.
