    Am enjoying being here

    Due to the incompetence of the counselors at marylhurst university I am missing my graduation date and have to take extra credits that I was not aware of. I spent half a year talking to my counselor who told me I had a certain amount of credits just to find out during the last term that she has been wrong this entire time and I will not be graduating. During the last month, I even sent numerous emails to the counselor saying that I think I need more credits then she was saying. She responded, saying that I was wrong and she was right. Don’t waste your time and money on this diploma-mill. For how expensive this school is, one would think the counselors would know how to do their job.

    Interfaith program that welcomes all students, however not a lot of academic rigor. Crazy powerpoints and some outdated sources.
    Tips for prospective students

    Choose Graduate Theological Union instead! I wish I had!

    as a returning student, i have been very impressed with my interactions thus far with staff, how friendly and helpful they are to a person like me, who is returning to finish a degree started many moons ago! everything seems to be a great fit between myself, and how the university is organized, and my ability to really personalize my degree for my needs.
    Bang for the buck

    the pla option for gaining college credit for my lengthy career experience is an outstanding opportunity!!

    Bang for the buck

    Tuition is credit-based, so you pay per credit.

    --You work full or part-time: they offer a wide variety of classes including evening, weekend, and online classes. --You have a family and need to take college at a slower pace: Marylhurst is not your typical, traditional university. They work with their students. Each student has to come up with a plan and timeline for finishing. --You want to save money on room and board: Marylhurst does not have any on-campus housing or dorms, so you are forced to live off-campus. Relatively cheap housing can be found in surrounding areas. --You are transferring from another school: Marylhurst accepts almost any type of transfer student. They have many options for prior earned credit and prior life experience you can get credit for to finish sooner.
