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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

I never had any problems when I was on campus.

I love the way this school offers on ground courses as well as online. I also love the way this school has classes starting every 2 months. The staff was very friendly and more than willing to help me out with everything.

See a counselor about which program you are thinking about to find out about pre-requisites

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

I do not live in the dorms

I do not eat on campus

This is a small university, although there are several campuses. I picked the campus close to where I live so this question isn't relevant.

This schools pricing is similar to any other school.

There are plenty campuses to choose the campus nearest you. I really like the way the staff goes out of their way to help. I haven't seen this before with any other college. It's pretty much, you're on your own anywhere else. These guys really follow through and get things done for you.

People looking to take classes while working full time as the classes on ground are from 6:00pm to 9:00pm. There are also many online classes to choose from.

I can't say that they have clubs and activities but their buildings are beautiful.

No issues with safety

Brandman is great for students who work and have families outside of school. They work one on one with you to create individual educational plans and guide you to success. They also provide an academic coach to meet with each student to check up on them, help with transistioning into the college, and provide assistance to keeping you on track of your educational plan.

The best advice for prospective students is to do your research on all the colleges you plan to apply to. Make sure that the decision made is made without any regret. Also, I would advise to always be educated on yout financial aid status because Brandman is really expensive.

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.

There is no dorm living available at this campus.

At the campus, they provide a really nice student room with a vending machine, fridge, and microwave to accomadate students.

At Brandman, they provide a variety of workshops and opportunities to reach out into the work field of your choice.

Amazing way to finish up your undergraduate or graduate program in a quick and effective way. The staff is always helping and are very pleasant to work with.

Great for working students and students with families.

There is always security on campus and the location is in a secure location.

This school is very committed to helping the students succeed. They offer plenty of resources to help you along the way such as writing center and tutoring. At Brandman I have an academic adviser who is here to help me throughout my degree time with things such as putting together my Education Plan and registering for classes.

Regardless what school you attend make sure that you are comfortable with the set up of the program, there are resources to help you along the way, and that the instructors or advisers seem to really care about you and your success. Make sure you explain in detail what you are wanting to accomplish career wise.

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

I do not stay in the dorms.

I do not live on campus or use their dining facilities.

I love to go to the movies, out to eat, and get involved in the clubs and organizations that are offered as part of the college student life. I am the Vice President of the Social Work Organization.

The tuition is not too high, and there technology fees are nowhere close to the other school i have looked at. They offer scholarships at times for different degrees.

I don't really know any unusual traditions or anything.

Adult learners as well as traditional students. They also offer online courses; which makes it easier for parents who have kids or jobs. It is a great school if you are looking for professors who care about you and will do anything to help you succeed.

I am the Vice President of the Social Work Organization which just started up in December 2013. It seems like it is really going to be a great opportunity once we get into the year further.

Perfect school for working Adults. It offers blended classes and online classes for individuals who work full time. Very flexible with working schedule.

Make an appointment with an advisor to customize a plan for your specific needs.

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.

No need to worry about dorm life with online classes you can log in from home and if you prefer face to face class time attend a local campus near you. Flexibility is the best feature with this University. It is unbelievable. For my finance classes I chose to attend a class at my local campus to get live help from instructors/professors.

There are food courts near by my campus and driving distance into town is very short since campus is right in the busy part of town.

Attending Brandman doesn't change or interfere with your personal activity since you don't have to live away from home its kind of like the University comes to your door step and revolves around your needs not the other way around. Life goes on as usual you get to do what ever you normally do in your leisure time.

The caption title listed here is BANG FOR THE BUCK that's exactly right on the personal experience you'll receive as a student at Brandman University. I love this school!

No unusual traditions observed

Great for any type of student

Plenty of community activities available for youth, young adults, and families.

Does not apply here

Safe campus security is around while classes are in session and beyond.

Brandman University was one of the best educational choices I have made. They make sure to work with you and your personal needs so that you can still receive a quality education with a busy lifestyle. I always feel challenged and that I am learning more every term.

Take advantage of all of the educational tools that Brandman makes available for students. Some of my favorites are the writing labs and the executive coaches. I also really like that I can take all of my classes online and still feel apart of a classroom environment.

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.

I am an online student therefore I cannot rate this section fairly.

Once again I am an online student.

This institution is worth the amount for the tuition. I believe that it is reasonable in comparison to other California Universities.

Brandman University is the adult working person's institution for furthering their education. Flexible class option for online or blended formats as well as short term allowing for flexibility in the professional area of one's life. Brandman University is committed to a quality education for returning adults and full time working individuals.

Know your strengths with online courses. If you tend to forget about assignments and due dates a full online course may not be for you. The blended course option has just enough face to face to encourage and motivate for the eight week course while still allowing the felxibility of a fully online course structure.

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

No Dorms for Brandman University.

No food and dining.

Each course is about $750 but you are on a fast tracked course at 8 weeks vs 16 weeks.

Working adults and adults returning to college.

Brandman University is great for the working person that need a set school schedule. Do you work that 9-5 job and can't go to college well classes start at 5:30. All the teachers that I have had are knowledgeable and very helpful with all your needs, they want you to get what you are learning!

Classes are only 8 weeks long so it is very important to look ahead and stay on top of your work!

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.

Where ever you live that your dorm... Not applicable for this school

Snowboard, web design, beach, watch tv, video games, spend time with my girlfriend

It cost a lot of money but they work with your schedule and most schools don't do that.

Locations are all over find one near you

Students that are busy with work and families

They have a security guard that is on watch.

Brandman is an online school that has dedicated its curriculum and class structure to the busy or working individual. Classes are online and 95% of the work includes reading, essays, forum writing, or team exercises; only once have I take a multiple choice exam. I feel like Brandman University is challenging in the sense that we have to write so much, but this encourages the student to be creative and think beyond what is simply taught in lectures or in the readings.

Tips for prospective students �¢���� When researching an online school be weary of the advisors that try to sign you up in the first five minutes. Ask questions about the education of their instructors, method of instruction, their accreditations and if classes are eligible for transfer. What Declining by Degrees on you tube for more tips.
