I was a student at Indiana Business College (IBC) for a year and a half. I am graduating with a degree in Health Claims that really isn't going to be to my advantage. IBC sweet talks people into signing up with their program, taking out loans, and then screwing people over.
I do not feel that I have been properly treated, when I went in to just interview at the school I was so excited with what they told me that I signed up right away. I was told that the credits would be able to transfer to other colleges in the area. I was not told anything about their crazy attendance policy. (You can only miss 4 days without having a 1% reduction taken out on your grade in every class you miss. Even if you have extenuating circumstances.) The people that run the office at IBC really don't care about you, only about getting your money.
I also have had problems with the financial aid department. I don't feel comfortable stating those problems here because if I do and the people at IBC read this they will know who I am. But they almost caused me not to be able to return to school because of a mistake of theirs.
The people in the office will lie straight to your face. If you go to them with a problem (which is what they are there for) they will just try to blow you off. No matter how many times you go and try to talk to them, the problem never gets resolved because they don't care about the problem, only if they get their money.
The teachers (although wonderful people) are not required to have a teaching license. Some of the teachers are even former students of IBC. This causes many problems because how is someone supposed to teach something they do not know. I witnessed a situation in which the teacher had never taught nor heard of the things in the class that she was supposed to teach. It is not right to make someone pay so much money to learn, and then not have a teacher that knows the subject they are teaching.
I consider what happens when you walk into IBC and talk to an admissions rep fraud. If they tell you that your credits transfer, and tell you so many other good things, like their 97% job placement rate... Then of course one will be excited and ready to apply.
You think that you are bettering yourself. But when you get into classes and start working toward your degree it all goes down hill. There are so many things I could say about this school. I had some type of problem every quarter I was there. I have heard from many people that they have had a hard time finding a job after graduating.
The 97% placement rate really isn't correct with all of the complaints I have heard. Someone really needs to look into the school, I think it could be a valuable resource if they stopped lying to people.
