Warren National University

I thought the school was very challenging, better than several other schools that I have attended. With that said now that Dickinson State University in North Dakota has been declared a "Diploma Mill" I have to wonder who is going after them, North Central Association Commission on Accreditation? They accredited this school. They going to pull their accreditation, doubt it too much Oboma money involved here. Where are you at now Cheyanne Herald?

Having attend 2 traditional universities I found the classes equal too and in some cases more difficult. Good investment and I'm pleased with my degree. The final research paper is very difficult and challenging. It took me 6 months to complete. The research and paper have been read by many others interested in the subject.

I am a former student who withdrew after discovering that I was deceived by this outfit f/k/a kennedy-Western and taken for more than $7,000. I am now now one of the many plaintiffs seeking legal financial remedy from WN"u". If anyone else wants to participate (at no initial cost since the attorneys are proceeding under a contingency fee arrangement) please write to the firm of Rothgerber Johnson & Lyons.

I will say this for those who do not like or had a bad experience with this school, I tried appling on line with several other schools and they use the same courses same books. On line school is not easy. I earned this degree with blood sweat and tears at times. I am proud of what I have accomplished at the school, and plan on going back soon. I may have had a bad name in the past, I don't think it is that way now.

I had atttended two other universities (100+ hours) before I started to take classes form WNU. The books and course content were in line with the previous state & privite brick & morter universities I had attended. I seemed to get more out ot the 10 classes I took at WNU than the two conventional class room universities. I attended WNU because I was relocated by thecompany fofr which I worked and the international travel did not let me attend regualr classes. There was a significant amount of work required for the classes and routine comprehensive testing on the material covered. I guess it is like other schools in that what you get ouit of it depends on what you put into it.

The "University" changed my program, dropped my program then told me I have until Jan 31st, 2008 to complete a porgram they no longer have. The whole time I was trying to get my money back (still am). I took three classes with no support, no lecture, no real outline, and all the run around they could give me. It was a read the book take the test with no practicle references to the real world. If you are looking to get your money back contact your attorney general. If they do not give you money back for the classes you have not taken that is a theft of sevice. With enough state run lawsuits going, you may not get all of your money back but it will create a large financial burden to them and close them down.

I enrolled in the school when it was Kennedy-Western University (prior to the name change). My mother became ill shortley after enrolling. I contacted the school and they advised me that this was a self-pace school so I could reactivate my inactive status at any time. Recently I tried to do that. I emailed Martha Pollock (personally I don't think this person truly exists) because you can not speak to a live individual (other then the receptionist). After many emails and several calls, I received a response from this individual.. verbatim from her email: "We are not currently enrolling (re-activating inactive) students. As it is the University’s first responsibility to support our current students, we are focusing all of our efforts, energy and resources to support our current active students." I too paid $7500 through a Sallie Mae loan which I'm currently paying for. According to Ms. Pollock I'm not entitled to a refund nor am I entitled to finish my program. Although, originally I was informed they were accredited and later I find out they were not, I was still willing to finish my education through this institution. However, I've been told that wasn't going to happen. Like others, I kept all of my correspondence and would be more then happy to join a class action suit against Warren National since I'm not the only person they took for a ride. Feel free to go in "rip off reports.com" there are many more complaints there like mine.

This was a very good finance program, with the best choice of content and text of any undergraduate finance program. The learning format allows older, experienced professionals to formalize and delve deeper into their own careers and industries. Not the greatest school choice, but it was great for me personally. I am now in a graduate school MBA program (at a world table ranked institution) Had to do some explaining about the unaccredited status and present compelling points why this was a true degree, to gain acceptance into the MBA program. It worked. A degree, is a piece of paper, often times. the minimum qualification for an entry-level job. These days, employers favor experience over having just a degree with minimal relevant experience. Why do so many young recent college graduates who did not come out of the IVY league or its equivalent not earn high incomes in comparison to those without degrees? One's performance and ability to enhance his/her skills and value to an organization determines an individual's progression in their careers. Your life and career is what you make of it, don't let naysayers control your destiny. Undergrad and graduate degrees are not the only credentials on the planet. Have a open mindset and go out to acquire what you need to become better. When playing a chess/checkers game, one needs all the pieces to even begin. Who said that a BS/BA and and MBA/MS were the only pieces and the only combination allowed?

Don't believe the testimonials, this degree is not accepted in most places. They have a list of hundreds of companies that "have evaluated our program...". I'm very skeptical of that claim. These companies probably paid money in tuition reimbursement for a course, but did they write a glowing review of Kennedy-Western / Warren National? Highly doubtful. Yes, they told me it was unaccredited when I signed up, but all these businesses go there, so it should be legit, right? What good is a healthcare administration degree that doesn't qualify you for a healthcare administration position? Starting over. :-(

I work at a local community college and hear so many negatives about professors never showing up for class, ridiculous papers that require no time or research. My research paper was 89 pages and was sent back twice for changes. I worked very hard and was very proud when it was finally approved. I have attended many seminars, classes, etc over the years and I really had to work for this degree. I hope Warren National does get accreditation.

Enjoyed my experience. Glad to have a chance to work asynchronously, very helpful and wish "accredited" institutions would get their act together for asynchronous education. It's so stupid people calling this a diploma mill. Education is what you make of it. Life experience credits are given at accredited universities and pardon me but aren't doctorates awarded for life experience by "accredited" institutions? If you're a mid-career professional this is a great place to get your degree. If you want to teach in a university or work for the government you can't use an unaccredited degree. WNU applies to the mid-career professional and it has helped me.

Unaccredited. Unable to qualify for any graduate school with this degree. Rated as a value based on the large amount of classes they grant for "life experience". Decent materials. Can't recommend though.
