Review of University of Massachusetts Global

from Newport Beach, CA

Describe your college in three sentences.

Brandman caters to the needs of working adults, making a higher eduation attainable for everyone. The programs offered place a lot of demand on students but bring forth a sense of great accomplishment at the end of the day. I enjoyed the option to learn in-person and online because it allowed me (and others) to get through the program in good time.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Engage with the staff and faculty members because they are really there to help you in any way that they can. Some of the faculty are even students themselves and know both sides of how to work with the system to get through each class.

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

A lot of nights and weekends were spent on each and every course. There are a lot of papers and presentations to prepare and it is important to keep on top of everything since sessions are so short that classes end before you know it.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

I participated solely online and the campus itself is a small building in Irvine. I'm sure that fellow classmates engage in social gatherings but I was never present for any in-person courses.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Brandman holds the same accredidation as Chapman University (Orange, CA) and students are granted access to the Chapman Library. I completed my MBA and spent a fraction of what I would have spent if I attended Chapman itself. I also was able to tailor classes to suit my working lifestyle and work online rather than take off work and have to commute to campus. Overall, I highly recommend the program and think the school is setting itself apart from other adult-education universities.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Working adults, military members, students who learn better online or in small group settings

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

I never had any problems when I was on campus.
