Daniel Webster College

I attended this school back in 2002 through 2004. I enrolled in their Excel program for Management and Info Tech (accelerated program) and received my BS there at night (going full time) while working full time during the day. I don’t know if what different experiences will be since ITT Tech now owns them, but I will not recommend this school. It was way over priced, the dean was nothing short of a self centered condescending @ss who walked around like he was royalty and expected to be treated as such. The business and admissions office was extremely rude and dishonest. They would dupe you into going there with an «un-​official» degree audit, and then later on, slap with you an «official» degree audit, making you take additional courses for your degree, which are nothing more than useless fundraisers for the college, after you have been roped into going to that school and are half way through your degree program. The bursar’s office was like the department of motor vehicles when you had to deal with them. They refused to write out a hand receipt that I needed for tuition reimbursement from my employer, and my employer mandated that I needed a hand written receipt for proof of tuition payment, and official grade report for tuition reimbursement. The bursar’s office refused to get off their duff and stop filing their nails long enough to work with me on this as a paying customer. I ran into this like clockwork every time I finished course and needed all this from them for tuition reimbursement from my employer. The college Dean and staff were extremely unprofessional during our capstone presentation, writing notes to each other, giggling, and being condescending during our presentation. The Dean was trying to argue about my accounting balance sheet, claiming that I was wrong because he took one cost accounting course, and in fact, he was wrong because I had the same question and ran everything by CPA’s in the field. He pulled the «well I’m your Dean» when he saw that he was losing the argument as a trump card. Needless to say, I refused to take part in my graduation ceremony. I have since not recommended that anyone take this school. As of 2007, one of my co-​workers graduated there with a BS in Computer Science, had informed me that the business office had not cleaned up its act in honesty and professionalism. The only reason why I am giving this 1 star in stead on zero is that I was able to eventually achieve my bachelor’s degree. Needless to say, I refused to go back for my masters at DWC, and will be starting that up in a month at a different college in NH.

The online MBA is a good program. It is manageable with a full time work schedule. The content of the work is educational and feels like you need to put in some work to get your grade. The online environments encourage communication and team work.
I won’t give it 5 stars just because its not exactly a highly renowned/​known program, however, it is still a regionally accredited program. Also, because it is owned by ITT Tech, it has the feeling that it is being run by the mafia as a diploma mill. If this was not the case, this school would have potential to be much much more.

My son graduated from DWC and it was not a good experience. I am looking to file a class action against DWC for quality of education problems. They were in financial difficulty and could not supply the proper level of flight instructors, as they all quit and DWC had to offer signing bonuses to try to find new instructors. In order to graduate in a timely manner, he went to a Florida flight school to finish his multi-​engine, and instructor’s ratings, as DWC failed to guarantee these ratings on any type of schedule. This cost tens of thousands extra to accomplish. I tried to have my son leave a year earlier, but was told that DWC would not accept any other school’s credit in order to graduate from DWC. I would like to hear from anyone that had the same type of problems and excessive costs from DWC email me at lakeview at erols dot com

Signed up for Daniel Websters online MBA. So far the enrollment process has been good. A little hitch up with filling out the first form as this program and the staff is quite new but things appear to be going along ok. Financial aid appointment next week. I will update this review as things come to fruition. Cross your fingers for me! Thanks!
