I have been a student of Grantham University for the past two semesters. Since Katrina, their customer service has been lacking. While I understand this and feel for them, I needed to make sure that I was able to continue my education. Being in the military, I decided to check on my other options. This is where is gets ugly. I spoke to four other schools, UoP, SDSU, Fort Hays State, and University of CA. All four schools said that they would not accept credits from Grantham University. This upset me so I dug further. The local State Government will not accept their degree either as well as other high profile employers in the area. When I spoke to Matt in admissions, I was told that they were accredited. I found out that they were, but by the DETC and not one of the regional agencies, which means that the credits that I have earned are worthless if I wanted to transfer to another school, and the degree itself is also worthless if I decided to stay with the school. I wanted to warn all of the other military service members who may be looking into Grantham to look twice and ask around. Other schools will tell you that they will not accept Grantham credits. Grantham put a list of schools that do accept their credits on their website. I called over half on that list and was told that they only accept a select few credits, and that most of the courses are not recognized. Students beware; this school is not what it seems.
