Student Testimonials
Stacia
USAMonroe College helped me to achieve my Bachelor's degree as an online student, without the option of attending school online I don't think I could have went back to school. The school always had events and formal gatherings to show their appreciation for their students hard work, they also had many different scholarships and discounts on tuition which helped on overall costs.
Letitia George
USAMonroe College was very repeatable with a variety of students and professors from different parts of life. The college had all the recourse possible to make the journey a smooth one. The professors insure that you are very successful at the end of your journey. Everyday I walked on campus knowing that I was apart of something bigger than me and had all the professors in my corner waiting to help if needed. I would recommend Monroe College in a heartbeat to everyone that asked for my option. After graduating I have encouraged over three persons to attend the College and they are all currently enrolled and loving the experience so far. I highly recommend Monroe College both online and on campus.
Trellis
USAMonroe college was a very good experience and i recommend the college highly. There is plenty of help if needed in any situation and the professors always have an open door policy. Anything at anytime they are willing to help. The academic line up is of great interest and you are guaranteed to find something of interest.
Jasmine Isaac-Hodge
USAThe pros of my graduate program are: The willingness and the determination of the professors wanting to help those students seeking assistance. The flexible hours in the computer lab. The knowledge and experience levels of the professors teaching the class. The cons of my graduate program is: The classroom size; Staff to student ratio
RONDENE HARRIS
USAThe staff is very supportive. Professors constantly exhibit their willingness to make sure the students do well. They are available via email as well as their personal cell-phones. If you don't understand certain materials covered,they are always there to help. Due to these pros,the workload is quite manageable. The program helps you to not only develop academically but also as a person. I appreciated the use of presentations which assisted in getting rid of the fear public speaking.
