Questions worth asking any university
Choosing where to spend several years and a significant amount of money deserves the same scrutiny as any major decision. Before you enroll anywhere, including here, get direct answers to a short list of questions and compare them across schools.
- Is the institution accredited by a recognized regional accreditor?
- What is the total cost after aid, not the advertised per-credit rate?
- How much of my existing credit will actually transfer, in writing?
- What are the retention and graduation rates for students like me?
- Will the degree meet licensure or credential requirements in my state?
- What support exists when life interrupts, and who is responsible for it?
