Pennsylvania State University World Campus

Unfortunately I transferred to PSU World Campus and have now spent 3 full time semesters there. I'm in too deep to turn around and lose credits by transferring elsewhere. As far as the decorated professors--they're useless. Absolutely useless. Depending on your class, you'll be learning from someone who has little to no experience actually teaching. However, they will go on forever about their work experience in the industry (always outdated). Most instructors don't record video lectures. Only my macroeconomics class had lectures available. This makes it very difficult because everything you learn is straight out of the book and not supplemented by lectures. Even the assigned reading is lacking and very generic. My education at PSU could have been as expensive as the texts on Amazon, but instead I'm paying $8k per semester in tuition. My experience at PSU has proven to be a colossal disaster. And before you start jumping to conclusions and making assumptions, I'm deans list every semester. That's means absolutely nothing. Aside from their math department that is full of actual professors with tons of teaching experience--PSU borders on garbage. One department does not make up for the failures of others. There are better schools with better teachers. Pick one of those. The online campus is a huge profit-making machine. Don't let the claim that they follow the brick n' mortar syllabus fool you. That's what conned me into buying in. All you do is read and pray an instructor sees your email within a week and that they bother to give you a poor response--they are not enthusiastic about their jobs. For many, it's a temporary second job.

Being an Online Degree, This shool implements all facets of the course material very well. I have taken 4 classes and would recommend this University over several other online shools that I have researched and heard about. The courses are presented very well just as good if Not Better than in person or in class situation. For an adult with a demanding work schedule looking for a part time shool set up to earn a degree, Penn State World Campus is an excellent choice.
