All the staff have been very supportive and caring of my individual story, personal experience, and success. My instructors are inspiring and my role models. Instilling professionalism, respect, integrity, caring, and engagement (P.R.I.C.E) in students is a valuable life-long skill set.
NOT A GOOD SCHOOL!!!
I was accepted into Herzing University Brookfield after my previous college shut down towards the end of my program. I've had many negative experiences with this school but it wasn't all bad. The curriculum is extensive and will indeed prepare you for your career; if you are OK with being stripped of your individual identity to become a "P.R.I.C.E" robot.
The hassle and poor quality of this program and university completely outweigh any of the flexibility an online program should provide. We have been extremely disappointed and if my family member wasn't so far into the program they would switch to a different university. Would give no stars if this was an option.
I literally was so shocked and appalled by the staff treatment (Dr. Ken certainly being the main offender, but the puppets will do as they're told) that I brought my mother with me during an "expulsion" meeting so she could witness for herself the frustration I felt and she, too, left the meeting sick. "I Couldn't even give my own opinion!" she exclaimed, as the school director had Shushed her mid-sentence to tell her I was an adult who will fight her own battles. All of these battles were downhill. I can only assume the reason why they never actually expelled me was because they never had grounds to. They were threatening me to keep me 'in line' as if I were a child.
I am ashamed that my degree came from this College and I would strongly caution everyone to stay away. There are far better schools that are run with consideration for it's attendees who pay good money to be there and have dreams of success beyond the Herzing mold.
I cannot speak for other programs, but I myself was enrolled in the Massage Therapy program and Dr. Ken (the program chair) was horribly verbally abusive and threatening. I once stood up for a student being harassed by this man and nearly faced expulsion for it. He has walked into classes and told us Flat Out that if we did not move from massage to chiropractic (which is what he does for a living) that we would never amount to anything in life. Two students began arguing during a massage clinical and I was belittled and screamed at by this man until I cried because I was "in charge of keeping them relaxed". He would never allow me to defend myself, or say anything to the contrary. He smeared my name with his superiors and made them all to think I was a delinquent so they would support unorthodox punishments for my anarchist behaviors. He once placed me on expulsion grounds for saying 'God damnit' when I found out I would have to miss my graduation. He once refused to allow me to retake a final exam when I was out of town for a Make a Wish trip my brother had been awarded. I cleared this time with the staff weeks before, by providing documented proof from the Make a Wish foundation but the tune changed when I came back into town. The entire staff will gang up on you, and bully you. He has, numerous times, told me that the Only reason he kept me in the program (so GRACIOUS of him) is because I am good at what I do.
They do not want to help you.
By MYSELF.
Absolutely terrible!! Would not recommend this university to anyone! I have family member currently enrolled in the online Family Practice Nurse Practioner program and it has been awful. For one course, the test answers are constantly wrong and they have to email the professor to double check and verify the test keys are inaccurate.
This school has an education made for the professional sell out. Where, those who are not good at what they do can succeed because they kiss A** and those who are good at what they do will be Punished if they do not agree with the hostile measures taken to subdue ideas that conflict with their "PRICE" model. Dr. Ken is a Coward and a control freak who easily made this the worst experience of my life due to his obsession with bringing me down. I have paid thousands out of pocket for retake classes through Herzing ONLY because noone else would take my credits. It seemed my only option was to walk through hell and live to tell about it.
And I did.
Several times my family member has emailed questions to program directors and has gotten no replies. The university is in no way helpful in helping students set up clinical experiences and neglects to let students know of program changes or helpful hints (such as setting up clinicals a year in advance because of how difficult it is to get in with providers). Also, the program is not at all flexible with how clinicals are done as far as how many must be with a nurse practioner vs. a physician and certain ones need to be done at a certain time by themselves (this was a change recently made and not clearly communicated).
