Golden Gate University

A great school for the serious students.  I will get my Master's in Taxation soon and I am surprised how many doors are open for me now, and I am not quite half way done.  At $2000 per class now, it's not cheap.  My employer is kind enough to kick in $500 per year ... but they cannot force me to stay because I am a regular at risk employee where the employment can be terminated at any time.  So there!!
Golden Gate University seems to forget that we students have a choice of schools. I'm tired of being treated poorly.

Their financial aid process is slower than the movements of a glacier.
Their tech support for online courses is equally slow. It's ironic that a school that teaches business administration is so unresponsive to their students. I'm paying $4500 for two classes and I have to put up with an online learning platform that is frequently out of order?  I'm tired of navigating their voice mail mazes and still not getting the help that I need.

I would never recommend this school to anyone. It's unfortunate because there are some good professors here (Dr. Dawe, Dr. Kent, Dr. Stevenson, for example). It's just that the way students are treated makes it unpleasant to attend this school. Especially nice is having your call disconnected after you've been on hold for 15 minutes.

GGU offers great programs and classes to prepare you for the real world and kick some corporate ass.  GGU is particular geared for working adults but I would recommend it to anyone who wants a serious education, applicable to the real world of business, management, information technology, tax and law.

Faculty are highly intellectual and effective.  They bring real world experience and knowledge to the classroom.  Many of them have noteworthy careers or professions and/ or run their own companies.  Each one has inspired me and opened my eyes and mind.   Props to Chris Clark, hands down one of the best instructors ever who got me through statistics and had me actually feeling like genius instead of a moron.

The programs are designed so that undergrads can maximize electives and obtain a certificate in a particular concentration or prepare for a smooth transition into a master's program.  The programs are completely applicable to the real-world and you'll find the classroom material working for you constantly in your career.

As a SF institution GGU has an excellent reputation in the business community.  The location is great and they offer online classes which I've found to be super cool and convenient for a girl like me with a busy, jam-packed schedule.

I've enjoyed my experience at GGU.  I truly feel I've learned a lot and gained a lot of knowledge from this place.  I'll be proud to say I graduated from GGU.  

Best of all, GGU is a non-profit, public-benefit institution and they offer scholarships to their students.

Now get your edumacation on!
