Review of Argosy

Describe your college in three sentences.

Argosy University Online has very supportive faculty members. However, you must be not only active but proactive to achieve the maximum results in academics. Argosy University has positive and professional students.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Classes go by very rapidly because there are only 5 weeks in each semester, so if you are a procrastinator, you might want to work on changing your study habits before enrolling! Be sure to study hard and have an openmind to other students who may be resourceful to your needs. Ask questions if you are not sure about something, rather it be early in the enrollment process or while actively in class.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

It is very important to know where to find research, but also what type of research is deemed credible. It is better to communicate in advance about any issues you may be having with coursework so that you can get help before your grade is negatively impacted. Saving old test, assignments, etc. may be helpful because some current coursework may require the recalling of past information.
