Academics

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.

This school is a little harder than some other universities I have attended. They require a lot of writing.

Since I have not yet attended my first course, I can't tell you how rigorous they will be. However, many people I know have attended and said that there is alot of writing and repitition busy work.

The courses offered are on topic to the degree you are seeking. They are manageable time wise and course load size.

Must be disciplined and organize. Fast 8 week courses with a lot of material to learn. How much to take from class and put to good use is entirely up to you.

Brandman is WASC accredited along with many CSUs and they live up to that accrediation. The classes will challenge you but also make you feel like you are getting a great education. I love that I can get this same education online.

Each course has a Signature Assignment portion that is designed to allow the courses to be constantly reviewed and maintain accreditation.

They get that you are most likely a parent, and have a job. With this in mind they do not cram in too much work, but you can not just float through.

Classes are 8 week intensive and includes lots of reading and writing.
