I am currently more than halfway through the Master of Education in Educational Leadership at Yorkville University. The things I am learning have been transformative and have had an enormous impact on my work and home life. I am a better collaborator and communicator because of this program. The profs are amazing and supportive.

I have just started the program here at Yorkville but so far have loved. It is easy to navigate and its nice having support of my professor. Also enjoy being able to network with other students even though it's online. Being able to do my work on my time is awesome and love that I can do it all from home!

Would absolutely recommend this school!
It is important to remember that no school is perfect and I have seen Yorkville always strive to be better. Also, school is not a consumer product, you will have to actually work to get your degree which I completely agree with.

I love Yorkville. I have found the experience to be very professional and highly stimulating. For those who are concerned about the online program not being taken seriously, I think you need to be brave and remember that times are changing. This is the future, open your mind. Your attitude is more important than the piece of paper!

Yorkville is great. I'm finishing up my MACP and have learned so much from mostly fantastic professors. I had no trouble finding a practicum placement and in fact had many options in my area and beyond. The university has an enormous list of possible practicum sites and you're not limited to those locations. Highly recommend this program!

You can't transfer somewhere else after getting stuck here or you lose all your work. Most unprofessional entity I have ever encountered. It's a money grab ONLY.

Certain professors are good and organized and are able to make the course interactive even if it is an online course. But there are a few professors and are terribly at most things they do. Respond to emails almost a week late and change assignment details when a new week starts.

Yorkville University has a DCP program which has the potential to be great. But, they are disorganized, inconsistent and punitive in all aspects. Many of their "professors" are subpar and would never be employed at another university. The Dean and Associate Dean are unprofessional. They need to be audited and changes need to be made.

Program directors should go. No support to students at all. Teachers are there for the money only. Some teachers do not engage in helping students. Unorganized. System people make mistakes. Financial dept do not care to follow-up. This is a Canadian school hires Amaerican professors. It makes not any sense. Are there not Canadian professors ?

For me the BBA at Yorkville was a waste. I worked hard; got good feedback; good marks; graduated. I was rejected by 49 employers! Then I re-applied to 5 with a slightly different name and changed my school. I was offered the job! I had to refuse. I transferred to another school and will graduate this Spring. Already have a job!!!

Not an enjoyable experience in the MACP program. There was little cohesion between what the course states are the goals and rules for the classes and what the profs actually adhere to. Every course was a guessing game on what was expected from that particular prof. Their online library is abysmal. Getting in touch with staff becomes a runaround.

Be aware of high cost, and high risk. MACP program tuition is $40,000 and successful completion rate about 20%. Rate estimated based on Yorkville stats that since 2004 MACP start there have been 2100 successful graduations, 1700 are currently enrolled, and conservatively assuming the program started with few enrolled and grew to current level.

I am trapped in the Supply Chain Degree at Yorkville. No other school will accept my credits for a transfer. The profs are barely competent. The assignments are all online. Each course is so rushed quality is not a priority. I'm in the middle of this program & can't get out but have to get a degree!!

I transferred to Yorkville Business from another uni. Yorkville is easy compared to my other uni. It is ALL online. The essays and reports I mean not just the courses. You just have to submit things on time and you'll get a B. A "B"!!

I was a student at Yorkville but transferred to another uni this past January. The BBA courses are not parallel to other uni courses. The profs are not there for you and provide little in the way of support. The courses are only 6 weeks long so there is no time for in depth learning. Sadly Yorkville does not compare well to other schools
