Keller Graduate School of Management is an excellent place to earn any of the vaious Master's programs which they offer. With regard to the AACSB accreditation questions below, Keller has not sough out this accreditation, because of a fundamental difference in philosophy of the AACSB mission and Keller's.

AACSB has refelcted its mission in a number of explicit requirements, mainly as to faculty, that Keller does not meet. The mission at Keller is to deliver "high quality, practitioner-oriented graduate management programs." They do this by using practitioner faculty.

With AACSB accreditation, 70% of professors must possess a PhD, they are required to conduct a certain number of hours of research on a yearly basis, and are tenured. Keller Graduate School of Management faculty consists of professionals with a minimum of ten years experience and are currently working in their field. Keller claims that this makes their teaching methods more relevent, which is hardly something to argue with. It would be impossible for full-time professionals (who are, in addition to working, teaching part-time in their fields) find time to complete the minimum required hours of research necessary. The pursuit of AACSB accreditation by Keller would alter their focus and negatively impact their practitioner-oriented, student-focused mission.

I did both the MBA and MPM programs at Keller. After finishing at Keller I wrote my own business plan, raised the capital I needed and started my own business. The Keller programs are hands on and therefore very useful. You will not get professors who have never worked outside of the university and therefore only teach theory. Most Keller professors work during the day and therefore give you real world learning. I did my undergraduate at Penn State and I can tell you Penn State teaches a lot of theoretical crap with no relevance in the workforce. I took several day classes at University of Penn before I enrolled at Keller. Penn is overrated. Most of the professors have never worked outside of the University. I took one Penn class where the students started asking questions and all the professor had for answers was theoretical garbage. Students started walking out of the class and several were asking for their money back. The professor was literally in tears by the end of session. I personally thought the in person classes were better than the on-line classes due to the professor student interaction. I agree that Keller lacks administratively. Financial aid is a pain. The key is stay on top of them and keep records of all transactions. It takes to about week six in an eight week course to get your financial aid. That said Penn State is even worse when it comes to administration. When I was an undergraduate several times the school lost my financial aid. I always kept copies of the paperwork and so was able to get it restored. In my junior year I did a class substitution. I had the dean personally sign the paperwork. When I went to graduate the school didn't have the paperwork and told me I could not graduate. Of course the dean had quit and the new one didn't know about the course substitution. Fortunately I still had the paperwork and so turned it in and graduated. What I did for both schools was to keep all the paperwork in a binder. To this day I hole punch and bind all important paperwork and keep a minimum of 2 years.

First of all I am Keller's student! I'm doing my MAFM-CFA. I'm taking online with the mix of on-site course program. I haven't taken any on-site courses Yet. But I think I'm in a great position to compare my learning experience with Online Learning. I'm re-taking the accounting course, which I had taken at undergraduate! Firstly, I'm learning more here doing the same thing online. I just want to say that I lake the right up answers to my questions. However, the good thing about online is that I could read up things many time, and just in case I have to go back to it; it's always there. OL actually taking more of my time, since I have to learn everything myself. There are live or recorded lectures as well chapter reviews. It's a great learning experience.

Those people who are taking about those brand-name schools. Firstly, I graduated with honors from the CUNY. However, I wanted to search for a degree program that would just let me focus on what I wanted to learn, not just some courses that I don't really required, or I had taken them before but since it was required by the core courses, I had to take it again. Why waste time and money? If you look at the Keller MAFM-CFA or CPA degree program, go check it for yourself! see one thing about finance or accounting, don't matter which school you went to, the learning has to be the same. You will use the same formula to get the answers. A=L+OE, don't matter if you go to NYU or Keller. I can't talk about other programs. but I think you got it the best at Keller if you into for Accounting or Finance.

I had completed the CPA concentration program to find out that that the classes offered are not enough to take the exam. The school is not taking any responsibility for it and can not provide any information on why the program that they wrote is not in conformity with educational requirements of a CPA board. They suck!!!

I would NOT recommend this school to anyone

Fantastic school!

I would highly recommend Keller Graduate School to anyone who is looking for a credible, well-rounded education that develops and nurtures the skills and experience necessary to be successful in one's career. I currently work in executive management at a top financial company and we are always looking for DeVry and Keller Graduates because they have far more to offer than graduates from other more "traditional" schools. We recently interviewed for a high level management position and ended up choosing the candidate who had earned their MBA from DeVry University's Keller Graduate School of Management over the other candidates with degrees from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, DePaul University, Northwestern University, and University of Wisconsin- Madison. At the end of the day, the Keller graduate just had far more to offer in regards to skills and practical experience because of Keller's unique approach to teaching.

I strongly encourage anyone who is highly motivated to be successful, and serious about their education, to consider DeVry University and their Keller Graduate School of Management. They will not rip you off like other Universities. Yes, tuition is a bit expensive compared to State schools, but then again you get what you pay for. The return on investment that a DeVry or Keller degree provides makes it well worth the cost.

I personally had an excellent experience at Keller Graduate School. The staff at the Elgin center was superb in making sure that my needs were met. Yes, it can be frustrating when a financial hold is placed on your account, but I think you run into that with any school. I completed my bachelor's at the University of Chicago and had far more issues with holds there. The staff at Keller was very knowledgable, easy to work with, and really went out of their way to ensure my needs were met. Most importantly, I feel I received a credible, well-rounded graduate education that will help me to succeed as I advance in my career. The instructors have excellent backgrounds and a great ability to bring their expertise to the classroom. I loved the hands on learning environment, which was very different from my experience at the University of Chicago. At the end of the day I found Keller's classes to be far more relevant than the more "traditional" classes I took in the past. Several of my colleagues have also had great experiences at Keller, and I would definitely recommend the school to anyone who is serious about gaining the skills necessary to be successful in management.

I wish I had found this website before I started with Keller Grad School. I'm only sorry that there isn't a minus 5 star rating, because this is all I have for them.

To put it mildly - incompetent, clueless, lazy, pathetic. They can turn every elementary transaction into an endless ordeal. I'm speechless.

Everyone who's heading to Keller, PLEASE WATCH OUT !!!!

Keller Graduate School may be a good school for practical learning, but I am not sure if they train your mind well for the type of thinking required by good management. I have my Bachelor of Science from the University of Nebraska and wanted to make my master at Keller because they do not require the GMAT. The first course, AC555 was a repeat of the Audit course we had in our Bachelor curriculum. Things did not get any better as we went along. Yes, the financial side is very diffecult with them. They do want to get and keep your money, but the academic side bothers me the most. There are expectation in mind from a person with a master and the most you get from Keller is a Bachelor which only is repeated in the master program. So if you have a Bachelor and want a master cheap go for it, it will be easy. If you really want to learn something new in the master program and stretch your mind then forget it

Keller's teaching staff is good, however the administration is horrible. They care only about the money. Even before the due date of a bill, they will put you on financial hold and send numerous emails. However, try to get them to do something for you, answer a question for you, certify VA benefits for you, evaluate and transfer credits for you; it will not happen in a timely manner. You will have to stay on top of them to get any kind of administrative support.

Keller Graduate School of Management provided me a quality MBA program that provided me the rocket and fuel to land the senior management position that I have at Wells Fargo. I completed both the business requirements and all of the available project management classes to ensure that I had sufficient skills to bridge the business processes with technology.

I wouldn't have been successful without the instruction that I received from best-in-class instructors that included the President of the Project Management Institute, the Senior Vice President for Venture Capital of First National Bank of Arizona, a Ph'd Economist for JP Morgan Chase, a President of a top 10 Marketing firm, The Chairman of the Malcolm Baldridge Quality Award Committee, the CFO of a Fortune 500 company, and the Project Manager for the International Space Station.

I not only learned the theory and mechanics of business, but learned how they were integrated into the successfully executed business processes. I would highly recommend Devry University's Keller Graduate School of Management because of the great cost to value that is received.

I disagree with everyone here talking about the benefits of an AACSB accredited school. This is merely degree program accreditation that primarily focuses on the education of the faculty as a differentiator. Yes there are other requirements but that is a huge piece of the requirements. Approximately 50% of an institution's faculty has to have a PhD as one of the criteria to be accredited by AACSB. Keller will most likely not be accredited by this body because of that criteria alone. Keller's faculty are real-world professionals who have a master's degree in addition to 15-20 years of work experience vs. a state or ivy league school professor may have a PhD with 15-20 years of researching the work force. As a graduate student, who would you rather teach you?

I have to say that I was thoroughly impressed with the entire school.

I looked at every school in the Central Florida Area and it wasn't until I visited the Keller Grad School, the campus at Millenia, that I felt like I wasn't pressured into starting school. The guy there really knew what he was talking about.

If you are going for the CPA like I am, you need to see him, he knew his stuff.

The classes so far have been great. I am doing both online and onsite courses. I think the online is challenging keeping up with the writing on weekly basis, but the exams are easier online because they are open book/open note.

I like that the instructors have their own businesses and they can share what it is really like in the accounting world. I work in retail sales now, so I didn't have a clue what to expect and they have been great in teaching and sharing their knowledge, just not what the text book teaches, but the real world stuff too.

HORRIBLE! Don't EVER attend Keller Graduate school. I enrolled for a class in July of last year (2008)for their Business Administration MBA program. I had to drop the class the first week due to family obligations....I've been fighting with their financial aid department for the last 6 MONTHS to get the issues resolved...#1) They are trying to charge me almost $700 for an online class that I never even logged into. #2) I applied for a student loan from Wachovia to pay for the class...Wachovia ended up dispersing over $2,000 to Keller before I could cancel it. I've been trying to get the money returned to Wachovia from Keller for the past 6 months without success. I've spent COUNTLESS hours on the phone with NUMEROUS people at Keller who either didn't know how to help me, or didn't care to help me. The sad thing is...I've already spent over $40,000.00 with them obtaining my Bachelor's degree through DeVry University. You would think that they would show me better service after having chosen them to obtain my Masters degree (esp. since there are countless other schools that I could have chosen that are not as over priced as Keller), but Keller is just too concerned about money and not at all concerned about the student. I WILL NEVER ATEMPT TO TAKE A CLASS WITH KELLER GRADUATE SCHOOL BASED ON THIS INITIAL EXERIENCE AND THOUGHT IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR ALL OF YOU POTENTIAL STUDENTS TO SEE WHAT KELLER IS REALLY ABOUT. ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS GETTING YOUR MONEY. THEY COULD CARE LESS ABOUT THE QUALITY OF EDUCATION YOU GET!!!!!! BEWARE!

The Keller Graduate School MBA curriculum has the same core courses that you would expect from any MBA program, but has the additional benefit of flexibility. There are many concentrations that you can select (such as International Business, Finance, and Project Management), as well as a few elective courses. This allows you to design a program that meets your needs and interests. This is a great start.

The courses were well developed, comprehensive, and demanding. There is good balance between theory and application of concepts in realistic problems (often dealing with scenarios faced by real companies, or complex comparisons of two or three companies that appear similar but are really quite different). There is also a good balance if team and individual assignments.

The only area that I felt the program was weaker was on pure analytics and statistical analysis. This is not to say that there wasn't plenty of analysis (especially the the various finance courses), but it wasn't necessarily as deep as I've heard about from some (but certainly not all) schools.

A typical "knock" on a school like Keller is the use of adjunct professors who come from business. I personally found this to be a benefit. A friend of mine is graduating from a top ranked online MBA program with full-time professors. He often comments how "out of touch" he feels they are. I wouldn't say that one approach is always better than the other, but the converse is true as well.

Before I started I also looked at completion rates and grade distribution. Back in 2005 the program completion rate was around 60%, and the distribution of A's to B's (you need a "B" or better grade in every course to graduate) was roughly 40% : 60%. There is always the concern over grade inflation and the perception of value of the degree due to grade inflation, but I personally found the grading fair for most courses. So, this distribution seemed reasonable given the amount that people pay for the program.

The education that you get is very good. In general, it seems that employers are not as impressed with a MBA degree simply due to the number of people having one. But, if the selection is close then the degree seems to make a positive difference.

I have not heard or been told that anyone devalues my MBA because it is from Keller. About the only downside is that you don't have the type of graduate network that you would have with a bigger name facility - and there is practical value to that.

As an aside, I took both classroom and online courses for my Keller MBA, and found the online courses more challenging. The interface used was very good, but like any online course you miss out on the immediate interaction from the group. This requires additional research and analysis to make and support your point. The online exams were also challenging, with multi-step essay questions that force you to explain your answer and show all of your work. You definitely worked to earn an 'A' in any course.

My experience was very positive, and I would recommend it to anyone considering a MBA who needs to gain a well-rounded understanding of many topics, gain the hands-on knowledge gained from many complex assignments and a lot of homework, and (for whatever reason) cannot go to an Ivy League school. Would I have preferred to go to HBS? Absolutely. Could I have afforded $150K and two years off work? Not with a family. I'm sure that there are things that I would have learned at HBS that I did not learn at Keller, and the HBS graduate network is invaluable, but at the end of the day I'm comfortable that I can stand toe-to-toe with a MBA from any institution and hold my own.

After reading some of these reviews, I decided to hire a couple of Keller MBA grads as an experiment. I wasn't having any luck hiring MBAs from State schools; the quality of most of the graduates from the various State schools were marginal at best. Granted they knew a lot about business theory, but most were clueless as to how to function in the REAL business world. The Keller MBA grads turned out to be a very pleasant surprise. For the most part, the Keller MBA grads were very prepared for our practical business environment. With many of the State school MBA grads, I had to expend an excessive amount of my valuable (~$100/hr) time teaching them basic business concepts which they should have been taught at their State school. Since my experiment worked out well, I decided to continue to hire Keller MBA grads. The quality of employee has so far been consistently and significantly better than the State-school prepared business employee. I plan to continue this experiment with the hypothesis that "State schools are no longer adequately preparing their graduates for practical business environments". Early data has so far supported this hypothesis, but we plan to perform more extensive study using accepted statistical methodology and blinding.

Why are you (or did you) going to DeVry? What is Keller Graduate School of Management? We've all heard it. I usually justify my response by stating that I didn't see the ROI in spending $80k for a graduate degree at this stage of my life. At 35, I knew my likelihood of ascending to the CEO position from where I was just was not likely. I really was not interested in that job I just wanted the education to complement my experience and credentials for a job to support my family.

Still, I see many, many blog posts challenging people for going to Keller versus a state school or big name, Ivy League. I hear the argument of for profit being used a lot and it is an important distinction, but might there be others?

I decided to do some research on what differentiates schools. Clearly we all take similar courses in order to be accredited, but are some classes more equal than others? Is my education deficient?

Take a look at another school, this time Stanford. They have a decidedly different Graduate Instructional Program.

details to be sure. But the point I am making is the argument of the school being for profit or non-profit misses the point (Saint Leo is a non-profit). If you want to go to school to get a job, you go a school that focuses on getting a job. If you want to conduct deep research or learn cutting edge financial theories, you go to that school. Both are good choices, but each is optimized for one or the other.

I took 4 courses with Keller's online MBA program before I decided to switch to my State school because I thought the name recognition would be better; this turned out to be a horrible mistake. After 3 courses with my State school, I have since returned to Keller. The instructors at the State school were of absolutely horrible quality and 2 of the 3 obviously had no practical business experience as it was obvious that they didn't know what the hell they were talking about. I am glad to be back in Keller's online MBA program where I notice a much higher quality of instructor teaching these MBA courses. Perhaps this is because Keller employs ACTUAL business-persons with practical experience who ACTUALLY know what they are talking about. Perhaps it is the fact that the search for quality of instructors is not limited geographically. Probably, it is a combination of both. My current instructor has 2 PhDs, 3 Master's degrees, and presently works for NASA; I doubt that any State school employs a more qualified instructor to teach information security. My current employer gave me the thumbs up on my choice of pursuing an online MBA; he stated that if I can manage to get an online degree from Keller, then I should have no problem navigating today's world of online business. Kudos to Keller for preparing business-persons for the next generation of real-world business. I feel sorry for those individuals obtaining their business degrees from State schools who are still preparing students for the dinosaur age of business.

The course content is going to be the same regardless whether you go to Harvard/Yale or Keller. Financial Accounting is still financial accounting and LOB will still be LOB. An AACSB-certified school may get you better instruction in these courses, or then again it may not; it's a roulette game. Anyone who has already completed an undergraduate degree should already have mastered their study skills and require minimal interaction with an instructor for continuing education at the post-graduate level. When I am hiring employees, I give bonus points to candidates who have completed online degrees or partially online degrees as it shows motivation, self-direction, and tenacity; attributes I like to see in my employees. I couldn't give a flying you-know-what as far as whether a candidate's school has this or that certfication; I am looking for employees who can give me results. In light of recent hires over the last 3-5 years, I am starting to give candidates with Keller degrees strong preference over candidates from "reputable" brick-and-mortar schools. Many of the Harvard/Yale-type graduates have turned out to be some of the laziest SOBs I have ever hired, whereas I have hired several driven Keller graduates who have been outstanding employees. The grads from the traditional reputable schools have seemed to have a sense of "entitlement" that seems to make them lazy, whereas the grads from Keller and other online schools seem to work much harder for me. *** Online degrees for an online world *** Keller: Whatever you are doing, keep it up. My Keller-hires have turned out to be some of my best quality employees.

I completed Keller's MBA Graduated Certificate ( 8 classes/24 hrs which are not AACSB accredited). I would like to transfer to graduate school that it is AACSB acredited? Have you done so and was there a significant difference in terms of education? For instance, the Univ of Nebraska-Lincoln has a Distance education program that I can transfer to, but they accecpt 12 hours of AACSB acredititation courses or 6 hours of non-AACSC accreditation courses. Also, how has this affected your ability to get a PHD from anywhere?

I just happened across the last post & have to add my 2 cents. In working with those who do the AACSB accreditation, I can tell you that AACSB accreditation is a joke these days. While it wasn't always this way, AACSB accredition is barely worth the paper it is printed on today. Any organization willing to shell out enough green can become AACSB accredited now. Do whatever program works for you professionally and personally; don't base your decision on the accreditations that can simply be purchased these days.

I do see the difference in cost/benefit trade-off between an ivy league school and an online program. However, you can attend a decent state school like U of IL, U of MI, U of TX, U of FL, and so forth and they have multiple campuses. They are more affordable (around 20-30)and have name recognition. I am a hiring executive and when I notice the name Keller, I immediately think Devry and their commercials. I don't hire Keller executives unless they bring at least 15 years of experience of direct experience. They are not accredited, unlike AACSB schools (which include Ivy League and multiple state schools). Consider AACSB accredited state schools with MBA programs. You benefit from accreditation, name recognition, and low cost. Its not abput what you learned there, but their perception. AASCB standards are stringent, thus when you attend an affiliated school, it tells us you are a good job candidate. Plus, many state schools offer hybrid programs (1/2 in class and 1/2 online). I see this as a win, win!

I am taking a year off from pursuing the MBA at Keller. I am still undecided if I am going back or not. The price is a bit high. If, however, my employer was going to pay for the degree I would definately continue to attend.
I did learn from the classes I took at Keller. Not all the professors were fantastic at teaching the topic but most were a great resource since they did what they taught for a living. I think those who decide to get their MBA especially from a school that is not IVY league or otherwise should do it for the intellectual gain and not the financial gain. If you are self motivated and know you will be able to apply what you learn then you will eventually be rewarded but dont expect to simply get the MBA, put it on your resume, and then automatically get promotions. It's about results and performance on the job and how you deliver them. Don't just work to get the MBA, make the MBA work for you.

The problem with the intense AACSB accredited schools is that you are pretty much forced to leave the workforce for a year, possibly more. At a cost of $40,000-$50,000 (or more) for the Master's program and the loss of at least a year's salary, ~$110,000, the payback period on obtaining a Master's degree from an AACSB accredited school is just too long to be financially worthwhile. Now if I can continue to earn my $110,000 per year while paying $40,000 for my Master's, the situation becomes much more financially feasible. Additionally, because I am still working, my employer will pay for ~75% of the degree; therefore, I am only paying $10,000 out of pocket. After earning my Master's, I can expect to earn ~$125K-$130 per year; not a huge pay increase but nice considering it only cost me $10,000 of my own money. Of course, money is only a slight motivating factor for me; self-improvement and self-satisfaction is the primary motivating factor for me. I agree with one of the previous posters that I feel that I accomplish much more and waste less time when my courses are primarily self-study such as an online format. I have found that even high-level courses from reputable schools often contain too many stupid people wasting my time. Perhaps it is different outside the U.S., but the dumbing down of America even occurs at the post-graduate level. I can appreciate a program like Keller's online program that hands me the tools and let's me proceed at my own pace in my own way rather than being force-fed stupidity in live American classrooms.

When attending business and management master programs, make sure that your school is an AACSB accredited. Large corporations dont hire students for MBA positions with merely regional accreditations. I did my research and Keller is not accredited by AACSB. It might offer flexibility but the payoff on the long run doesnt weigh as much as attaining an MBA from top notch schools such as UCLA, USC, UCSD, and UC Berkeley. Highly respected MBA programs are very competitive and stressful, and what employers appreciate the most about MBAs is the students commitment and discipline. Furthermore, the school doesnt require GMAT scores for admission and this tells a lot about its acceptance rate. I would not recommend taking the easy way.

I have taken a combination of in-person and online courses over the course of my career. Honestly, I have obtained more value from the online courses most of the time. The few best value courses have been in-person courses but only when the instructor has superior teaching skill (which is the exception rather than the rule these days). Otherwise, online courses have proven more valuable. If you are going to sit in a live class of much more than 40 people, you might as well just view pre-recorded lectures in an online format. Even when live class sizes have been small, I have found that the stupid and/or lazy people in the class slow down the pace of the learning. In an online format, I can simply ignore these stupid people for the most part; not so in a live class! How about all that time and money (can you say $4+/gallon gasoline?) that is wasted traveling to and from class? The travel time saved can be reinvested in your courses. Live courses do have their place for some coursework and live classes do have the potential to provide better educational value than online courses, but the reality is that "on average" I have found online courses to provide better educational value over time. In the not-too-distant future, expect to online delivery of courses as the preferred delivery method for college coursework. Even some online high school programs are beginning to be offered to allow parents an alternative to America's poor quality public school system.

GREAT ! !

KELLER SUCKS!!!! I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL EVEN TO MY WORST ENEMIES. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT THEIR STUDENTS. ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS GETTING PAID (AND ARE REALLY DIRTY WHEN IT COMES TO THAT AS WELL-AFTER I OBTAINED MY UNDERGRAD, AND WENT ON TO KELLER, DEVRY STILL HAD ME SIGNED ON TO A "GHOST" CLASS AND COLLECTING MONEY FROM MY LENDER. I ENDED UP CATCHING THEM, AND THEY JUST CLAIMED THAT IT WAS A COMPUTER GLITCH -MAKES YOU WONDER HOW MANY PEOPLE THEY HAVEN'T DONE THIS TO THAT DON'T EVEN BOTHER CHECKING HOW THEIR LOANS ARE BEING DISBURSED SINCE THAT'S MONEY THAT THEY DON'T SEE ANYWAY) AND DESPITE HOW BADLY A STUDENT MIGHT HAVE BEEN VICTIMIZED (MULTIPLE TIMES) BY A TEACHER OR ANY OTHER FACULTY MEMBER THROUGH THEIR UNFAIR, AND SOMETIMES RACIALLY-BIASED, GRADING METHODS, THEY'VE PROVEN THAT THEY'LL CONSISTENLY TAKE THE TEACHER OR FACULTY MEMBER'S SIDE NO MATTER HOW WRONG THEY MIGHT BE!!! AN AUDIT SHOULD BE CONDUCTED INTO THEIR TEACHING, GRADING, AND OVERALL EDUCATION PRACTICES!!!!

I am half way through the MBA program at Keller. The main reason I went with them is for the flexibility and the online classes since I work full time +. I got my undergrad with University of California and one of the things I was partly disappointed with was the lack of real world training I received.

One thing I appreciate at Keller is the use of the online simulations and exercises where I can interact and experiment with the programs. I think this is going to be a major concept in the future evolution of education. Some of the other students have some good real world experiences to share and I have been able to apply some lessons right away in my work. There is a broad spectrum of students at Keller and this is both good and bad. Good to have a broad professional backgrounds / perspectives but not so good to have a few students that are in class because they couldn't get in elsewhere.

I am currently enrolled in Keller Graduate School of Management in the MISM program. Keller is an amazing school. I take my courses from where I want. I am learning the latest and most useful information for my career. I am very enthusiatic and motivated so I believe that's why Keller is great. Keller is not for those who expect to get something for free or those who expect to be given a piece of paper. This is for those who want to do something. As with any university you go to you will have issues. Not one hasn't been settled in an orderly and responsive manner. I also got my bachelor's from DeVry and I have job offers left and right. They are both very good quality schools. I tell everyone I can to go here.

I am in my second class at Keller pursuing the Masters in Accounting and Financial Management. So far, it has been a great experience. The classes are higher quality than those I took at a brick-and-mortar school to get my B.S. The professors are outstanding. You get what you put into it, and I am already applying newly learned info at work.

I am attending my 11th course out of 16 at Keller to obtain my MBA with a concentration in project management. I would say in the catergory of school it is in it would be one of the better choices. Of course Keller is not a Yale, Stanford, Harvard, or any of the other ivy league schools. However it does have a recognized name within the educational and business community. The program offerings are fairly distinct and if a person has an interest or work experience in one of the offerings (networking, project managment, HR)then this is a perfect complement. As I stated earlier, out of the catergory Keller is in such University of Phoneix, Webster, Capella, and even some state schools Keller is certainly at the top due to what it offers in flexibilty, name recognition, and alumni job placement services. Keller does cost a little more than most of the state universities, which could effect a person decision to go there, but Keller does target working adults that are bringing in some money to fund some of there education on there own and may even have tution reimbursement from there jobs. For the most part unless you go to a Harvard, Yale, or etc. it is pretty much going to depend on you (including but only including your Keller graduate degree)and what you can bring into a company for your next job.

I am attending Keller onsite. I am not familiar with online courses.

I obtained my Bachelors in Computer Information System from Devry University in 2004, after graduation I could not land a job. I thought it was due to outsourcing and the tech bubble. For the love of technology I continued my education by pursuing Masters of Information System Management from Keller/Devry; I graduated in 2006. To date, I still can not find a job in Technology despite of my education from this university. I like the school. The professor's are very knowledgeable and helpful.

I graduated with an MBA and MPM from KGSM and thought the program was very adequate. I had graduated from the UC Berkeley business school as an undergraduate and am now attending an online PhD program. Like any program there are positives and negatives. Keller was very flexible given my full-time employment. The information they teach is going to be the same if you go to Keller or if you go to Stanford. I didn't take online classes as I wanted the personal interaction with the instructors, and was happy I did, so I can't comment on the online program. However, the program differs in other programs in that the quality of their students are not always the same as if you were to attend Berkeley or Stanford. So as a program where you network for contacts they don't match. However, unless you do go to a Harvard or Yale I see no difference in Keller versus Hayward State or another no-name school. I view it as just another check mark on the CV when applying for the job and to be honest I've used the knowledge I've learned too. I would highly recommend this for anyone who can't get into or can't afford the big name schools.

This school has really improved itself over the last several years. The quality of the online education is not quite at the level of Carnegie Mellon yet, but the quality is very close. As with any program, you get out of the program what you put into it. Receiving your education in an online format requires that you are highly self-motivated and self-disciplined; Keller and Carnegie Mellon cater to these students. Keller takes a lot of bad reviews from students who don't have what it takes to succeed in an online program; Keller provides all the tools necessary to succeed, but the individual MUST utilize these. This is not to say that these people are not intelligent; they just require more student-teacher interaction to learn concepts. Keller is for those students who require minimal student-teacher interaction. If all you want is a piece of paper that says you have a Master's degree, you can find a shady internet school that basically sells them. Keller is for self-motivated, self-disciplined, business-oriented, professional individuals who want to either improve their skills, advance to higher level in their present job, or reduce the number of classes they will need for a future PhD (check with the school at which you plan on getting your PhD first, e.g. Indiana University accepts Keller transfer credits). I would not bet the farm that I would find a job solely based on having obtained a Master's degree from Keller, but Keller may move you up within a present job-type with a 10-40% raise depending upon the degree of upward movement. For those seeking more pay increase, a PhD becomes a requirement; those seeking a little pay increase while improving their skills on a very flexible schedule will greatly benefit from Keller's programs. As far as cheating goes in online programs, it happens. Those who cheat are only cheating themselves out of a very expensive education. Advancing within your organization usually requires new skills; if you don't learn them you don't advance. Or worse, you advance and get fired when your boss finds out you don't know what the !@#$ you are doing. If you want to cheat your way into a degree, there are much cheaper ways of doing so online.

I am attenting Keller Graduate School of Management in NYC area and I am loving it. I am half way through. I am working on MBA with concentration in Finance. The professors are well prepared. They work with you individually making sure that everyone understood the concepts, methods and techniques in the lecture. The courses include projects, presentations, discussions, homework and other assignment provided by the professor. The program is very intensive and you really need to study a lot. The staff is very helpful, they get back to me right away when I have questions.

Very bad school. They do not care about students' problem, financial need.
They always lying to student, it is big corporation with only one thing in brain "how to get more student by lying them".
They are not disclosing all information. Most of employee do not like to hire former student from Keller Graduate School of Management, because of level of education is not meet requirement. They have a good advertisement just to attract unexperienced people. Student service, library is very poor. Staff do not care about anything.
So, don not believe them do not enroll to Keller graduate School of Management. It is even very difficult to get student verification letter.
Be careful with Keller, especially with Fremont, CA campus.

I AM TAKING MY CAPSTONE NOW AND I HAVE REALLY ENJOYED MY EXPERIENCE AT KELLER. IT WAS NOT AN EASY JOURNEY. BE PREPARED TO WORK, WRITE PAPERS, ETC. OVERALL, THE PROFESSORS ARE REALLY GOOD.

I graduated from Keller Graduate School of Management with an MBA and a Master's degree in Network and Communications Management. Overall, I felt I got a good, quality education. The school is effective in that they give students concrete objectives for each class. They are called terminal course objectives(TCO's for short). Everything in the classes is geared towards students being able to master each terminal course objective. Evaluations of instructors are based on how effective they are in helping students achieve these course objectives. The school offers the perfect blend of high quality and convenience. Students can take classes either online or onsite. Even when students take classes onsite, there is still an online component that takes maybe three to four hours a week. These components are extremely helpful because it allows students to collaborate throughout the week on the TCO's, reinforcing what is learned in the classroom. I find that students learn alot from each other with this tool. The school can be quite challenging in terms of keeping up with the workload. The school does have its issues. Group projects can be a problem. Keller has its share of free loaders but as I talk to graduates from other schools, that's everywhere unfortunately. Luckily our whole curriculum isn't based on team exercises so prospective students shouldn't worry too much about that. The finance department is incompetent. Whether you are paying out of your pocket or having an employer pay for your education, you will be very aggravated. They are nice people but they don't have solid processes in place to handle tuition payments effectively. The school doesn't market itself to prospective employers. Keller is really designed for the working professional. The school does have career fairs but they are generally geared towards the undergraduate students at DeVry. This isn't a traditional school so I wouldn't recommend coming to the school and expecting recruiters to line up at your door. If you are looking to open some doors and you are an experienced professional, this is an excellent place to come. I have received 3 promotions since starting Keller, went from a one room apartment to a 5 bedroom, 4200 acre house. It pays off. The school does equip students with the knowledge to get ahead.

I just completed the MTM degree at Keller. In polling the students in my capstone class, 80% of the class said that if they were to start their graduate degrees over again they would not choose Keller. Also, nobody in business ever heard of the school -- don't expect much recognition.

Good school for practical business learning and busy professionals seeking personal development. The school is fairly expensive considering the limited range of academic resources it provides i.e. on-campus research and library archives.

Keller is a great school. Its a bit on the pricey side but what quality school isn't. Keller reminds me of a trade school. I say that because they provide you with tools to attack business and technical problems that arrive in the workplace. We study real problems with real professionals, not professors who just read about something in a journal. Great school for working professionals. I guarantee you'll be able to use something from each class at your workplace.
