Bellevue University or St. Joe's of Maine? - marianne202 - 07-19-2010
Ok, I have narrowed down my OL grad school options to these two schools as they both offer the MHA online, fairly reasonable in cost. Does anyone have any feedback on either of these schools? I don't want to start a program only to find out they are using outdated program management systems or content. Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated. It has been a long, hard search to try to find totally online programs without huge tuition costs. Thanks in advance for any and all assistance.

Marianne there is a thread on the other board devoted to this subject. It seems like Bellevue has better online courses. They say it is set up better and it is geared toward the adult learner.

Thanks! I can't find out anything, but according to FAFSA Bellevue has a very, very low graduation and retention rate. I just don't know if those stats are believable. I just don't want to enroll and plunk down money for classes then find out it was a waste. I just can't afford, losing money and time, by getting involved in a program or school then having to change to another school after a few classes. I guess I'm just a creature of habit and like to make a choice and stick with it.

I am not crazy about the low graduation rate. I think they probably are fairly accurate if it is on FAFSA. Also check out college boards and see what they say about graduation rates for both schools.
