Review of Colorado Technical University-Colorado Springs
from Cleveland, TN
Describe your college in three sentences.
CTU is extremely convenient with all classes taken at home, online. The professors are very knowledgable and available for regularly scheduled chat sessions, plus can be contacted at any time with any questions or concerns. The class format is based on how you will use the information in the real world and is more focused on projects and career-based application, versus tests and memorization of concepts & theories.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Create time for the classes, the same way you would if attending classes on campus. Keep a planner/date book with all of your assignments listed. Stay in contact with your professor and network with peers.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Each assignment is checked using an application that compares it to various books, websites, and previously submitted papers by other students to verify academic integrity. The courses and learning are at an accelerated pace, but the format allows you to work through it and not feel rushed.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
CTU offers clubs and organizations to network with other students, make friends, and learn new things. They also have chats and lectures that you can attend each day, to learn something new, further enhance your skills, and free online tutoring and mentoring are available.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The cost of the programs is similar to what you'll pay at most 4-year universities, though you'll graduate much sooner with the accelerated studies.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
CTU Online is excellent for those that work full-time, live in areas where a commute to a campus would be too costly or time-consuming, and especially great for stay-at-home parents.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Lots of various clubs and activities are offered in their Virtual Commons.
