To reply to the slander above relative to John Gilliam, yes, you could purchase a "used" book from Amazon, but new books for that particular class had to be bought through the University Alliance as it is a "custom" book.

I've been going going here for almost a year now. I have to agree its a little on the expensive side if you are paying full price. Military and their spouses get half off.

I dont think grades are just handed to people. I work hard to get a good grade.

I have no plans to change schools anytime soon. posted Jun 29th, 2010 3:13 am

I really like Florida Tech so far. Im an undergrad student going for an Accounting degree and Im attending online full-time. Its challenging, I have not had ONE class just handed to me; you have to STUDY. I really like it and my advisor Heather is awesome. She schedules my classes so that Im not totally overloaded with homework (i.e. if one course is reading-intensive, she puts it with a computer course with only interactive assignments and low reading). Its been a good school so far and I am really happy. posted Feb 19th, 2010 1:06 pm

I am finishing my third class with this "college", and if I had not already invested $6000 so far, I would drop this place like a bad habit. STAY AWAY!

My VERY first class I was ripped off my University Alliance "counselor". I asked for the ISBN for the book for the class, my "counselor" John Gilliam, told me it was a "special" book that couldnt be purchased anywhere but through University Alliance. So I believed him and spent $200 on a book.

When I received the book in the mail, I checked the ISBN and found it on Amazon for $60! I called customer service (which didnt pick up the link the first 5 times I called) only to be told that John's manager was "out". These people are SCAM ARTISTS!! STAY AWAY!! Go somewhere else, anywhere else is better than this place!!

I just finished my first class, and it will be my last class. I had a introduction to information systems class. While it is an intro class, some of the questions were excessively easy (one question was "what is a virus?") Other questions made no sense, other questions had incorrect answers. Most questions were poorly worded and some even had spelling errors.I emailed the professor about one question, stating the answer was incorrect, I even pointed out what page in the book the information was on. The professor all but admitted he was wrong and refused to give credit for the question. Quite frankly this education is a joke, and is excessively expensive ($2000 a class). If you want a real education I suggest you go elsewhere. posted Jan 1st, 2010 12:42 am
