I graduated from herzing with my ASN back in 2020 during Covid. Although the stipulations were so chaotic during that time the school worked with us to make sure we graduated on time. Every school has its pros cons but overall it was bearable. There were a few times I or my peers had to go to the dean regarding our grades and it got handled. I would suggest anyone going there to have a good study partner and for you guys to work together in order to pass your class.

Frieda was awesome. She answered all of our questions. We have confidence in her knowledge.

Thank you, Brian Pawlik and Howard Montgomery! I've never had so much help starting college with such a strong team of advisors. I'm excited to work with the rest of my advisory team and watch my career goals unfold!

Hi highly recommend this school. I received my associates degree in medical billing and coding. Everyone I have worked with has been amazing. I have never gone to a school where I felt so supported. In my online classes instructors were always available to answer questions and if they were not available I could reach out to fellow students. Jennifer in career development has helped me with every aspect of my career. They give you the tools you need to succeeded in school and when you graduate. I've started a lot of programs in the past and this was the first one I finished and I plan to go back to get my bachelors in Health information management. Best decision of my life enrolling with Herzing.

Please please don’t not waste your time nor money here !!!! They will make you pay out of pocket for things they told you that you could use financial aid for. The teachers are so unprofessional and unorganized especially in the lpn program, One example being in fundamentals class in lab we were never checked off nor showed how to complete our skills on a lot of our skills but the teacher told us to say we did on the paper. all they are worried about is the nclex and money !!!! They don’t care about their students.

Recommended for real people that have real lives and real responsibilities. I attended the online program for my bachelors and masters degrees in nursing, though there is a stand alone campus here in Akron. I was able to attend both programs full time and I will consider returning when it's time for any post-masters certificates.
The admissions department was easy to work with and did not use tactics that made me feel pressured or rushed with deciding to enroll and then re-enroll for my advanced degree. The professors were as helpful as they could be and did everything they could do to prepare me to pass my certification exam (which I did on the first attempt!). The resources that we were provided surprised me because they were so accessible and effective.
Lastly, the very important behind the scenes staff-accounts, student services and advisors, library, and tech support were amazing. They always addressed my concerns within a timely fashion and what was not known, they sought out an answer and closed the loop for me. My student services advisor (Meaghan G.) continued to answer questions in this same manner even after I completed the program.
Thank you to all of the staff. A challenging journey could have been worse without all of your support and efforts!

I have been a student at Herzing since September of 2018 and I have watched that school go down hill. They can not keep consistent nursing instructors and have to make changes to student schedules 2 days before classes start. When they know most of their student population are parents with the majority of us being single parents that work and go to school. But they have made it abundantly clear that they do no support students unless they have money to pay out of pocket. I have watched faculty that has been there since I started grow more and more stressed with the “behind the scenes” politics that go on inside the school. I have watched instructors walk out the door and not look back. Herzing advertises that they are family oriented and all of that but it’s all a joke. They hired the nursing chair to add “ diversity” among the faculty. They have students file complaints on instructors because some of the instructors and other faculty is the rudest people I have ever met. They claim to be a nonprofit organization but have increased cost of tuition twice in just under two years. Oh and don’t have nothing go wrong in your personal life when you fail a class because they don’t care. You can have plan after plan but it won’t be enough for them to let you finish your program when you only have one semester left. This school has been the biggest waste of money and time of my life. I use to enjoy going to school in the mornings I loved the things that I got to learn on a daily basis.. but as their instructors left so did my pride in the school. They do not follow any of the standards that they hold their students to. They don’t educate you if you make a mistake they reprimand you and fail you. They will show you over and over again that you success means nothing to them.. they just want the paycheck.

Although I'm a bit behind because of personal issues going on right now ... Herzing Akron has been nothing but short of great with the way they keep me up to date and informed on any changes, my advisor is always available when I need him and my student study advisor is great as well, I haven't had any issues with the instructors they are always willing to help in anyway possible, they give information that's helpful for the course of study and they respond to emails with no issues.

I'm completely satisfied with my experience so far and I'm glad I choose Herzing to continue my education.
