Student Survey Results

American Sentinel University is committed to transparency. We believe the more you know about us, and the more we know about ourselves (through surveys such as this), the better we both will perform. We are publishing, unedited, our April 2008 student satisfaction survey results.

A brief analysis of some key results is provided.

This is the first of four such student satisfaction surveys we will undertake this year.

Please remember to take the time to tell us how we are doing so that we can evaluate our performance and implement any changes necessary to enhance your educational experience.

The student satisfaction survey is one of the most important documents in guiding our efforts. We need your input to develop a clear picture of our progress toward our improvement goals.

President, American Sentinel University

How to Save on Your Educational Investment 

With newspapers full of stories of the subprime mortgage mess and concerns about the economy, many people are looking for ways to save money, but savings aren't limited to the grocery store and gas pump. You can save on the cost of your education through American Sentinel's Referral Program. When we introduced a new reward this year—a free credit hour—more students than ever have been participating in the program.
It's simple to do. If someone you know is interested in a program we offer here at American Sentinel, point your browser at www.americansentinel.edu/referral, and fill out the form. If the person you refer enrolls and completes one course, you will receive a free credit hour towards your next enrollment—or, if you prefer, a $100 gift card. You can refer as many people as you like, and earn a reward for each!

These days, people of all ages are going back to college--someone you know is probably thinking about the need for a degree right now. Help that person and yourself by telling them about your school.
