My Experience... When I first registered for classes and during my first couple of classes it was an amazing experience. I loved my professors Dr. Johnson, and Dr. Bazan-Shipp, they were awesome! However, there were a few professors that made my experience drop. It was hard to believe that professors had no idea what was on the Brightspace app. and were given different information making us work on things we shouldn't. Then, finding out that the Praxis exam is a NU requirement and not all universities, I personally think that extra stress added to what we already had is unnecessary. (Sorry, that's how I feel)

Terrible finish I feel like when I started the program and I had so much help from advisors, but towards the end zero accountability from advisors. Nor do they care about graduation ceremonies. It gave the feeling of “yes start school here, but we no longer care about when you’re finishing or finished your program.”

Kim is an amazing academic counselor! Kim Yarbrough is an amazing academic counselor! She has really been a great resource and personal cheerleader! I am blessed to have someone in my corner when navigating schooling at such a crucial time in my life. Thank you Kim!

The professors were excellent The professors were excellent. It felt like they really cared about me and my progress, I wasn’t just a number in the class. The student teaching professors were exceptionally amazing! Trying to get questions answered by my credential program or any other department was a headache. It took multiple emails and weeks of go around before I would get an answer from people. It was very very frustrating and one of the biggest reasons I hesitate to recommend this school.

My application/interview experience My application/interview experience at National University: The second round interview panel acted like they didn't want to be there, as if they were just going through the motions. They were very non-responsive/nonreactive to my answers to their interview questions until I explicitly asked for feedback toward the end of the interview. I specifically asked how I stack up against other candidates, and a senior executive said point blank that I would be a good diversity hire (I'm a black woman). Long application/interview process (1 month between each step: application > first interview > second interview), with very poor communication/ghosting from both the HR rep and the hiring manager between steps. At the end of the day, I was able to learn more about the role and it prepped me to interview for similar roles at other companies. So that's a silver lining :)
