Top Ranked Companies
The Good
- Program Amenities
- Associate's and Bachelor's Degrees
Program Amenities
Everest University provides both an on-campus and online experience for students. This allows students to utilize both options or strictly stick to the environment that works best for them. Everest does focus on their campus program, but their online platform has helped thousands of students obtain degrees that helped them qualify for employment. Other benefits of Everest's programs include:- Small class size with flexible schedule for the working student
- Easy admission, fill out an application and have a phone interview
- Staff and faculty support 24/7
- No mandatory chat sessions to attend
Associate's and Bachelor's Degrees
Everest University allows students to obtain a number of varying degree types. Students can obtain certification in fields that do not necessarily require an advanced degree. Additionally, students can earn their associate's and bachelor degrees in specific subject manner.The Bad
- Limited Online Resources
- No Life Experience Credit
Limited Online Resources
While Everest has created an online platform, they have not made a number of resources available to their students that other online students enjoy at varying universities. For instance, the subject manner a student wishes to pursue may not be available to them strictly based on the location they are currently living in. This makes it difficult for students who wish to pursue a specific course of study. Current and former students said that Everest University could improve in the following areas:- Limited degree options
- No information available on cost or job placement
No Life Experience Credit
Since Everest University is designed to help students get a job, it does not necessarily make sense that they do not offer credit for life experience. That means if you are a student that has previous working experience/knowledge, you may still have to take classes as part of a requirement. That means these students will need to pay for courses when they have already learned the material.The Bottom Line
- Talk to a representative in an office or over the phone
- Take a campus tour (if desired)
- Fill out and submit an application online
- Take the career placement assessment to help narrow educational paths
- Complete the student financing process
