Read What Students Are Saying
I have enjoyed many of my classes. I am sure, however, that neither my Biology 101, nor my math, will stick with me.
Cathy from Crewe, VA
John Tyler is a good choice for higher learning at a low cost.
John Tyler should offer more multiples of the same class at different times.
John Tyler allows you to work on higher education while maintaining a life outside of higher education.
Amanda
All the teachers i had are great. not scary as people may think
Ashley from Richmond, VA
I am in the Visual Communications program and I absolutely love it! The instructors challenge you to do your best, and work with you at your own pace so you can understand the assignment, even if you need tutoring. I'm working on assignments I've never done before, like 3D sculptures and video commercials.
