New Charter University

I am 75% through my Masters Degree in Public Administration. Having worked over 20 years in the public sector workforce, it's nice to know that the subject matter being taught at AJU is consistent with the public sector working environment. Often times you hear that what you are taught has nothing to do with what you experience in the real world. This is not true with the courses and teachings offered at AJU.

I enrolled in Andrew Jackson University's Master of Public Administration (MPA) program just before they ended sponsored tuition. The education I am receiving is a great value, and significant work is required in order to earn the degree. The class requirements, especially essays, are actually a bit more than at some traditional universities from which I had earned three degrees. Grading seems fair, however, and most instructors respond to questions within one to three days. Student Services typically responds within 24 hours or less. The only problem that I experienced was concerning billing and payments. But they corrected the problem almost immediately ince notified. If you are looking for a low cost, quality education, with maximum transfer credits, then AJU is a good alternative. Though AJU is nationally, rather than regionally accredited, I am using the degree to supplement my credentials for consulting purposes and possibly online teaching at similar institutions. I do believe the education gained is just as good, if not better, than at some institutions that are regionally accredited. All assignments are asynchronous, which provides the convenience of time and place. I would like to see AJU offer an online library of sorts, and expand its degree concentrations. For example, for the MPA, an emphasis in nonprofit management would be a good idea.

Great School. Challenging course work that prepares you for real world experiences. Excellent Staff. I would recommend this school to anyone who is willing to work and who wants a quality education.

I am very impressed with the overall course work offered by AJU. The quality of the coursework combined with the teaching styles of the professors is exceptional. I was also impressed with the procedures they have in place for ensuring that the midterms and finals are taken legitimately. The support that I have received from the staff at AJU has been outstanding. They are always quick to return phone calls or emails and are always available to help out. In regards to the value, the tuition sponsorship program is wonderful. Without that program there is no way I could return to school.
