I am writing this not to bash ctu online or aiu online. I am writing this to warn single mothers, and everyone else who may be thinking that this is a way out of your current situation. Please be wise in your choice of schools. Online education is tricky, and among online education options, ctu and aiu can be even trickier.
I used to work at ctu online, and I was not in the volatile admissions department. I am not jaded or angry, I just want people to understand what this is all about.
CTU online and AIU online are right for some people. But please understand that it's not right for a lot of people. Whoever you are, you are an enrollment for an admissions advisor. The admissions advisors' job depends upon whether or not you enroll. So whether or not you're right for the school or it's right from you, they will do everything in their power to enroll you. They will call you repeatedly and leave you rude messages if that's what it takes. It's the only way they can keep their jobs. Advisors are sales people, most of them without degrees. Most have not attended college. That's not to discredit the person, but these are not admission advocates, they are sales people.
CTU and AIU are regionally accredited. I used to work in academics at the school. But I am just warning you to weigh the value of a ctu online or aiu online degree. If you are hoping that everyone will respect the degree, they won't. But perhaps having a bachelors degree in general will improve your job prospects. Long story short, please just be careful. Do your research. This could be a great way for you to complete your degree. But don't expect your admissions advisor to have your best interest at heart. Good luck!
