I received a Psy.D. from CCU back when they were still issuing them. I had a great experience at CCU, and a first class education. Don't know what it's like now but from 2002 till 2006, I received personalized assistance and attention. Was able to easily get my advisor (also head of the psyc. dept.) on the telephone whenever I needed to (try that at a large RA brick and morter school). The self-paced nature of the course work was great as well. Cost was a real bargain compared to other schools.

I am a CCU grad who started in 2005. We didnt have any doctorate degrees then, Dr. Mehrlander must have gotten his back when CCU was state approved only(non accredited) and still offered doctorate degrees. It is too bad that CCU dosnt still offer them though since DETC allows it.
I graduated from CCU and got into Lawschool with it. I will be a full lawyer in 2013.

When I look back at my last year in highschool, I can remember a young man that thought he knew everything there was to know in January, and decided to quit in his senior year. Lucky for me, there was a very dedicated teacher that put his job on the line and forced me to stay in schooluntil graduation or face getting the beating of my life.
I have gone back to this man and his family every time I finished another school or received another degree. I am only sorry that he was not alive to see me receive my MBA in 1996 and my Doctor Of Business Administration in 2005 from CCU. You have made a things happen for me that a person could only dream about.
Thank You.
