My overall experience was positive with the university. My BS and MS required a lot of self study and disipline. At times I had hoped for my interaction with my instructors and fellow students. The real work practical excercise of my MS Capstone project was the best couse I experienced. I would recommend TUI for the overall convience and value.

Bailey, we are happy that you chose Trident over so many options and it turned out to be the right decision for you. Thank you for taking the time to give us a referral.
This online university is not for everyone. I would say for every 2/10 potential adult students will easily strive well in this type of self-discipline, good time management skills type of learning: due to personal life issues that arise, computer, network issue etc., Without some type of financial assistance, whether it be from current employer, or government, I would have not been able to afford to pay for these classes. Fortunately, I had great financial assistance, therefore, considered blessed. My goal was to complete my masters degree, and I did with very little resistant. But, like I stated earlier, I am done with my further education for now, but depending on the potential next student referral, I would use some caution, before recommending this independent type of online study, based on the personal's habits, motivations to want to earn a online degree. This online study is not for everyone!

While the cost of education keeps climbing Trident is happy that we still rank among the lowest cost for a PHD, Masters and Bachelors degree. It is nice to learn our online format was a fit for you and most of our present and past students. Michael, we appreciate you taking time to give us a review.
Enjoyed my experience; but you must be prepared to take control of your studies and responsibility for your progress. Self motivation is the key. The professors are very helpful, but in the end, it is up to you. I definitely got my money's worth.

At Trident success is taking the responsibility to manage your time wisely. We call this "structured flexibility" and once you master this organizational art, meeting your educational goals are not out of the realm of possibility. Thank you Richard for your kind note of recognition.
I selected Trident for completing my PhD in Education. I made the decision due to tutition discounts for military spouses and the ability to complete the entire degree online. The staff were supportive and I felt the level of commitment was accurate to the degree level.

I found the format at TUI to very convenient and conducive for the adult learner. I completed the program in approximately 4 years. I would highly recommend the program to others.

Lorene, thank you for your recommendation. Trident strives to meet the needs of adult learners while maintaining academic excellence. We are happy you were successful in our learning model.
I had a great experience overall. The combination of structured curriculum and flexible self-directed learning was perfect for me as a busy full-time employee who also travels several times per year. The faculty and staff were responsive and helpful.
