University of Maryville Reviews | final reports (2023)

“I have nothing against Maryville, but this is my opinion and that of students who are considering taking the Master of Cybersecurity program online. I graduated with a 3.6 GPA. The program consists of about 85 rapid readings and tests. The other approximately 15% are laboratories. Semesters accelerate into 8 weeks with no breaks between semesters (semester ends on Sunday, next subject starts the next day). The professors are fine, but how much extra time can they spend on difficult subjects with an 8-week semester? The labs are short and there is not much practice. Again, how much can you earn on 8-week appointments? Some courses have technical issues but are resolved with 24/7 support. I graduated in August 2021 and did like 3 internet interviews. Two of the interviews were terrible because I couldn't remember everything I did on the show. In my opinion, this is due to the short delivery times of 8 weeks. I work for a top 5 bank and most of my cyber job submissions (14) were ignored (8 of them were rejected outright without an interview). I am an intern and I have yet to get a Cyber ​​related interview. I don't know how many external resumes I've already sent, but I'm sure that in 2022 there were more than 15 (13 rejected without an interview). Bottom line: In my opinion, I would save 26,000-30,000 debt and attend a quality cybersecurity bootcamp. Bootcamps are mostly hands-on (75-85% labs and projects). Despite the perceived high demand for cybersecurity professionals, employers seem to want candidates with experience in terms of degrees and certificates. Bootcamps give you that hands-on experience with systems. and projects designed for them Jobs are needed rather than quick tasks. Many bootcamps include exam and CompTIA certification preparation (e.g. Security+, Network+. Also, bootcamps are half the cost of training program for masters programs at my company as of September 2022. After not receiving a response by months i wrote several emails to the recruiter and hiring manager and my emails were ignored I am an internal candidate and they still ignore me Finally in December after sending the rejection email i sent an e emailed recruiter asking for feedback and advice, said m Because there were many qualified applicants and although I have worked in various industries in the financial services industry for over 15 years (e.g. financial crimes, investing, escrow, auditing), my resume is impressive and would like to gain hands-on experience in cybernetics and give it a try next year. Take part in training that is primarily hands-on experience that comes with proof of readiness and exam give me CompTIA."

“I enjoyed the Post Master's of Nursing program at Maryville University. It is a self-paced program and you must be smart and motivated to complete your course. This is not an easy program. If you are not serious about learning and education, this program is not for you. I also liked that they eliminated mediocre nursing students because prescribing drugs is serious business. PS: If you want an easy school that doesn't care about quality, you should go to an inferior school like Walden University."

"I would advise anyone who goes to school to go elsewhere. The school is assertive, lots of materials and homework and they like to see people fail. Supervised test and you have to get 80% pass. Exams are difficult and many people fail. The school is not cheap either. If you want to attend the school festival with a chance of passing, go somewhere else."

“Remember to check it out before visiting Maryville, it's not worth your time and money! Instructors give bad grades and there is NO justification for deducting points. You never pass an exam and you never share what you did wrong on the exam!”

"Fully self-taught and weekly reading hours covering a very wide range of topics. The first test was only 32 questions and that's only 4 tests for the entire semester. If you don't get an 80% overall on the tests alone, you will automatically fail. There are too much material and no accurate guide on what to study for the test. The test reports and learning objectives don't cover multiple questions even on the test, so many students fail. Hurry. Go somewhere you can get classes, lectures and support.

“I am beyond frustrated with this school. Although I was already practicing as a NP, I decided to enroll at the University of Maryville to earn a degree. After two semesters at this school, I'm starting to reconsider my decision. The school decided to cancel my course without consulting me. I called my counselor to resume my course. However, she was not helpful. I did everything I was asked to do and now I have to wait for my course to resume. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this school for my dog. Fortunately, I know I can thrive in life with or without a DNP degree. Aspiring students, beware!”

"Online nursing courses and clinics are what you make of them. You can be in the best school and find fault. This program is designed for the motivated student to learn at a comfortable pace. It's a lot to learn and you will learn." if you like. I went to another nursing school, an inpatient college for my people, and it was the same thing (I had to study and learn foreign concepts). He had to learn what he had to learn. In Maryville, I struggled here and there, but that's normal when it comes to people. I had great teachers and some good ones, but it's normal. You can't always be great no matter where you go. Just figure out your clinical settings before you start, as this will be your biggest challenge. Don't go there if you are not interested in learning or studying seriously to know important things about the human body. Thank you Maryville teachers for encouraging me and not giving me answers but showing me where to find them. I loved everything I learned here and feel like I have more information about mental health. I can't wait to pass my exams on the first try and be one of the top PMHNPs in the USA. Thanks, University of Maryville!"

“I have a background in software development and was well prepared to complete the MSSD. The materials, as others have pointed out, are so out of date that some of the instructions and information provided are patently incorrect. Even as someone with a computer background, this course is extremely fast paced with professors who have no real world experience. It is totally unacceptable that people pay good money to get an education and you hire teachers who have almost ZERO hands-on experience in the real world subject they teach. At one point I was asked to completely rewrite a program for an assignment because the teacher couldn't follow the logic. How dare you use something as frightening as... a design pattern in a masters course? Teachers were slow to respond and the school couldn't care less about you once classes started and the grace period passed, so you can't get your money back. I only owe about $5,000 now in loans for these classes which were absolutely useless and I could have gotten a better education on swearing by yelling swear words on the street corner."

"Stay away from this school!!! I cannot stress enough that it is not worth your time, money or the incredible unnecessary stress this school causes. Communication is atrocious, on several occasions I contacted them via email and I have not received responses for 4-6 weeks, I have asked Studentenwerk twice for help with the clinic and paperwork, on both requests the person who was supposed to call me was over an hour late for the application and had taken my time working specifically on these calls to answer. these calls resulted in me skipping an entire semester because I didn't have the clinical trial paperwork ready in time, even though my questions and queries were on exactly that topic. For every professor, there are 3 who don't give a shit about being there. The big ones are exceptional and I learned a lot from them. The rest didn't mind. Of course many of the teachers here are very good at riding horses. Apparently getting a DNP goes to the head of some people and respect for the students (the paying customer) goes out the window. I am currently enrolled and passing my courses. All the people I talked to who went to different schools didn't have a fraction of the problems I had. A teacher and a dean called me a liar only to prove later that I was telling the truth. This is not a safe educational environment. This is one of the pay-to-play NP mills he's talking about here."

“I'm an online student working on my graduate degree at the University of Maryville. I have a bachelor's degree and several professional certifications for my career. I'm also used to getting A's in notoriously difficult subjects, like high school science class. Example from Anatomy and Physiology I and II Some of my courses were good (what one would expect from an online program as a part-time student) and others are completely unmanageable. I am only in school part time and work at least 8-10 hours a day in a class. These hours cannot be maintained even in an A class, they can only be survived. Classroom expectations are incredibly stressful and teachers cannot change the pre-set schedules that are in place. I would not encourage anyone with a current career or any commitments such as children, animals or partners. If you are unemployed and without commitments, this program may be a good option for you.”

“There are designers for the courses. The learning failure occurred because the person failed to verify the answers to the tests they were tested on. How will you grow if you don't learn from mistakes? Also, if you can't see the answers sorted, then maybe you didn't make a mistake. That kind of thoughtlessness is undignified. Furthermore, the way quizzes and tests are designed do not really reflect learning or what was taught in class. Information was presented in a questionnaire and the test was formatted to mislead the participant, the tests did not address what we were supposed to learn and therefore did not reflect learning. The information in the models and books was presented but not shown. The workload was four times greater than that of an enrolled class. Inappropriate and unnecessary to prescribe the workload and take a test so intimidating that you can't even see the learning progress. They do not teach and because they do not provide reflection, they hinder learning a lot. This is a very cheesy school. Although some of the moderators are really understanding and there for you. Some should do the bare minimum and bully the student by paying their salary to have less students per class = less work. I think stability has its advantages."

"I would not recommend this school to anyone. I am in the DNP Nurse Practitioner program in Psychiatry, Friday is my last day. I still have a year left but I can't take any more. The pace is absolutely ridiculous! The trainers are 30 and under experience in the world of nursing. Grading is different for each individual course, you don't get any feedback. You definitely teach yourself. I think they really want people to fail because they still get their money, and if you never sit in the tables like a maryville grad, it doesn't hurt your stats, it's a scam.

“I enjoyed this show and personally don't agree with the negative reviews. Any online program requires self-study. You get what you put in and I haven't met a teacher who wouldn't go out of their way to help me. I am enrolled in the penultimate semester and I feel prepared. I spoke with other NPs in my cohort who graduated from prestigious local universities and found that their resumes fairly mirrored Maryville's. I have Zoom meetings with professors at least three times a semester, and I don't get turned down when I need their help. They are always available. As with any online program, it is not handed to you and requires work, sometimes additional work, to be successful. I encourage students who have had positive experiences to consider qualifying here."

"First, I had great professors in my program! All but one were great to me and answered all my questions. This professor wanted us to email him in APA format. Who writes an email in APA format? Of all Anyway, I have a feeling that the counselors, or at least no counselors, were trying to get me to stay in Maryville as long as possible! They only allowed me to take 1 course for summer 1 and do 2... and 1 course for fall 1 and 2.. just me, I still have 5 classes to graduate, but she started delaying the graduation process! protect this on purpose... The other classes were offered on those terms but she said no and she wanted me to take the classes a certain way. Why? If they give me (total) 4 classes per semester, I want that someone suffers as emotionally as I. Save yourself some time, GO ELSEWHERE AIR OR FACULTY!!! Please run!! Because you're going to stay at school forever!!"

"I would not recommend this online program to anyone! I have no bachelor's degree in computer science, but they advertise that no computer science experience is required to be successful in this graduate program. However, this is not the case ." . The faculty expects you to have knowledge that has never been taught before. One teacher even told me, "I should have known better." I've seen several teachers not respond to emails, take weeks to grade assignments, leave inappropriate comments for a teacher. Another common problem is videos with years as the only instruction. This means that the code often won't run due to updates or software changes, but remember that teachers don't respond to emails. You'll need to find out for yourself. It seems you don't care about your students' success. I don't feel prepared for a career change based on what I've learned to do. I learned more from online tutorials and my own study than from this program."

"I am currently enrolled. I would recommend prospective NP students to look at other schools before considering Maryville. The materials used are years old and everything is individualized. Depending on the teacher, you may be on your own. Many programs don't think it's important for the school to find teachers, as this will help ensure that places and teachers are valid and that students have a good education and experience that prepares them to practice. I get the feeling that Maryville just wants your money."

"For those with a non-STEM degree and little software development experience, this program offers everything you need to understand software development. Can you prepare for the field? Yes, but for those of us who need a classroom attitude, that's all. Also, the program is not a software engineering curriculum, it's more of a software development curriculum. The two can easily be confused, and many in the industry often switch roles. Either way That way, you have a good chance of getting a job like getting a software developer or a software engineer."

"I found the Business Data Analytics course to be exactly what I needed. I found the material, teaching approach, pace of the course, and difficulty level of the topics to suit my ability and learning style. Overall, the body teacher was very good Some responded faster than others, but all but one met response time requirements I created a OneNote resource throughout the program with material (notes, linked articles, videos) that I used as a reference for my professional work .a bad experience as a teacher. This teacher is no longer on the faculty, hopefully in part because of the extensive notes I saved and later sent to school administration so it won't be a factor for future students Sorry to see other reviewers have had experiences Negatives For those who are after a very serious experience If you are looking for education, this is not your school If you are looking for C, at least for the pro gram Business Data Analytics, a solid school that pre-educates you to become a data analyst, this is a good program. For me, largely due to my enrollment in this program at the time of my interview, I was able to transition from a technical background to IT and a data analyst role. I immediately implemented a lot of what I had already learned."

“I had a great experience so far at the University of Maryville! My advisor always calls when we're scheduled, my faculty responds via email, text, etc., and all of my work has been relevant and educational. Most online programs require you to find your own clinic locations. Online learning also requires self-motivation and determination. This isn't my first online title, but I haven't had any problems! However, online learning is not for everyone!"

"Maryville's online Master of Software Programming is not for those who want to expand their computer engineering skills and earn a true master's degree. This is a low-level training for people who want to get into programming for the first time. That too thanks for the poorly done online material with youtube videos and i didn't do anything creative to develop the concepts throughout the course. The problems presented weekly are so simple that i usually finish them in minutes. with a software degree it didn't take me more than than a few hours a week. And a waste of money!
