I graduated from DCN and passed the NGN NCLEX. I will say, if I wrote this review while in Q2…read morepharm, I'd agree with most of the 1 star reviews, however, I had some self adjusting to learn. I had received a previous degree from CU Boulder and nursing school made that degree feel easy. While there are some bad professors at the school, there are bad professors everywhere. I unfortunately ran into some issues with my original cohort and had to talk to a few people in the school to get switched. They were super supportive of my request and checked in with me every quarter following that. While I don't want to diminish others experiences at DCN, nursing school requires hours upon hours of outside studying. If you think you studied enough, there is always time for more. You will not have any outside time to really see friends or do what you love until the program is over. Those going into nursing school thinking they can barely study and get by, think again. DCN does require you to receive a 78% on cumulative exams to pass the class, which is higher than most nursing schools. I do want to mention that everyone in my cohort has passed the NGN NCLEX in 85 questions so while these reviews may be scary to a new student or someone looking around, it is worth it. It may feel unnecessarily hard but when you are done, you will be thankful. With that being said, take the good and the bad and consider everything. DCN is one of the few programs in Colorado that doesn't require an entrance exam if you have a previous degree which was a big selling point for me. I also want to say that Dr. K is the new dean at DCN and she is amazing! She does care about you and if you approach her with concerns she is understanding and checks in often. She always made me feel welcome into her office to talk.

Here are two examples: I had a professor that had given me a D in class at the end of the semester but my actual Grade was a B.

Pros: Close to work and life in the city. Cons: They will suck the money out of your pocket

This school accepted my money under false pretenses. I chose this school over CSU Global because of…read morethe in-person element. Only after enrolling do I find out through a professor that they are phasing out all in person classes for the business school. Even so - they still take my money. Additional fees are charged for students who are enrolled "in person" yet only 2/10 courses are even offered in person... That number is soon to be 0. So I am effectively paying in-person fees but not being offered in person courses... On top of that, they claim recent budget cuts are the reason for their CUTTING SECURITY in the building. Students are left without security more often than not, and the ID access system they have is faulty and malfunctioning due to an overload of volume. This school is a fraud. Go to CSU Global instead. It's cheaper, and the online courses are much more in depth.

I have on multiple occasions asked that they review the SAP hold against me and see the details of Disability, and was told that if I didn't provide my medical records, then I could be denied my FEDERAL Pell Grant. Other schools are not asking for my medical records. I won't provide that to any financial office anyway. That's what the office of Disability Services is for.

To give you a short summary of my Capstone presentation assignment, I was supposed to design an animal-assisted therapy program and present it in front of our peers, school advisor, and capstone professor. I loved presenting in front of my class and thoroughly enjoyed it. I've always loved working with animals and working with children and this is my first step toward living that dream!

This is definitely not a program you just "buy" a degree - it wasn't an easy program. I completely disagree with the previous review, as graduate degrees from a accredited school that is highly respected, as DU is, will set you way above people that just hold undergraduate degrees and even some graduate degrees. I have a Master of Professional Studies with emphasis in Organizational Leadership and Human Resources Administration, and have been told by recruiters that this degree ranks equal with an MBA with the same concentrations. I work in HR and I 100% degree. Just Google how many other big name colleges offer a Master of Professional Studies. A lot! University College gave me the flexibility to work full-time and attend school full-time and I graduated in under 2 years. It is also a substantially less expensive program compared to other graduate schools, and you still get a degree from reputable private school (University of Denver). Also, without this degree many doors that weren't open to me before have now opened. I had great instructors, fabulous advisors, and an all around great experience. It is not an easy school, but your hard work will be rewarded at the end when you have that piece of paper. I am a huge supporter of DU - University College. No education is a waste, this will get you better jobs and more money. I would do it over in a heartbeat and do refer this school to others.

Not only was she a huge support system, she was also brutally honest and told us exactly what we needed to hear, and her curriculums were not confusing, she made it very clear what our expectations were.
