Master of Education in Educational Leadership with a Specialization in Educational Administration

While the MACP program is well structured, the information about cost is kept very minimal which is a concern. Administrative staff are not only unhelpful but unpleasant. The term "management" is used a great deal to justify decisions and redirect blame but never facilitating communication with such "management". The bursar office provides an atmosphere similar to a loan shark and registrar office will insulate their professors from criticism.
An example of bursar office atmosphere: while I admit I was paying my tuition late, they made late fees, I paid it and did well in my courses. During a mid-program semester I was suddenly informed, 3 business days before the next course started that full payment was required to be allowed access, upfront. This was completely different than past financial processes with them. When I did make the payment in time, I was informed that I should had paid a day prior as a "deadline", even though this deadline was never stated to me. Upon trying to rectify the error on there part by not mentioning the deadline, I was informed I was "delinquent, and the whole situation was my fault". Which, I was paying late, so that's not wrong to a degree, but paying nearly five-figures in two days to meet a sudden deadline was not delinquent, and incredibly unprofessional of them.
An example of professors being insulated from criticism and it's outcome: an ethics course in the MACP program is primarily instructed by two separate individuals. The one instructor marks students quite subjectively, is vague in instructions and offers readings that do not sufficiently prepare the student for the graded assessments. This instructor also provides feedback that is bordering on inappropriate (suggesting an english tutor- while in a master's course and having done 8 years of previous schooling at high academic standing). Conversely, the other instructor is present, provides feedback that's constructive while also presenting content relevant to the assessments. The contrast in their teaching is stark and when administration is presented with such information, it is met with increasingly negative responses from them, with no mechanism for review. This is perhaps hyperbolic, but when attempts for review are made, a system of shuffling you to the next person or procedure that never meets an outcome occurs. This results in no review of instructors or the product they are selling to students.
Errors on the university's part are not rectified in a timely or orderly manner and often result with the repercussion falling on the student though the student did not cause the error. I cannot discourage enrollment enough, and if you can transfer as a current student to another institution and keep your credits it's highly advised to do so. If I wasn't stuck with them in my circumstances, I would have transferred.

My path through life has been more of a journey of experiences and knowledge, Yorkville University has added to that knowledge and extended my journey into places I never thought I would be. Returning to education in my late '40s has been a challenge and YU has made that challenge achievable.
The format to asynchronous learning was easy to follow.... And understand with easy weekly goals and built-in checklists.
The instructors were not only available if needed but always supportive in all areas.
The connections I have made with my fellow students have led to lifelong friendships.

I would recommend Yorkville University to anyone looking to create or add to their journey.
