Columbia College

I have had a fantastic experience from start to finish with Columbia College of Missouri located on CGI in Alameda, CA. I was stationed on CGI since 2009, and decided that it was time to pursue my education and get my classes started. Since I had an administrative job, I was able to attend their in-​house classes on base as well as many online courses. I took courses on and off, and finally have completed my first Associates of Liberal Arts degree through them.
I registered in 2009, so the staff has since then switched around and there are new people working at their Alameda location. I had initially worked with a young lady named Beth whom was absolutely sensational. She and the team sat down with my on multiple occasions to go over my education plans. They constantly helped me out and answered every question I had along the way. I could call them anytime (or email) and they would respond within one business day.
A young lady named Kendall works there now, and she is also amazing. She is super friendly, helpful and extremely happy to help with any questions and concerns that one may have throughout their courses. Kendall has been so helpful!
Columbia College is a great school, and I have nothing but praise to give them. I have had great professors both in-​house and online. I took a few history courses and a speech class on-​base, and it was fun! You get to know the people in your class, and may even work with some! I was lucky enough to have great people in my classes each time and we all worked together to help each other succeed.
Online courses are more challenging in my opinion. Though convenient, they do require diligent tracking and you have to be responsible and disciplined to sit down and read or participate in whatever homework you have. I always did well in those classes, but do believe they require more time and work, surprisingly.
The process of having my Tuition Assistance verified and processed was always a breeze. And again, whenever I had questions, the team at CC would be there to help me every step of the way. I never had any troubles with tuition. I really loved how they would recycle school books and let students on base rent them for their courses. I am not sure if they still do this, but it was a really nice luxury back when I was attending this school.
All in all, if you are able to fit school into your schedule, this is a great college to get involved in. You should give them a call and take a look at your options. There is nothing quite as rewarding as receiving a degree with your name on it.

The enrollment process was a nightmare. After submitting all of the requested documents for enrollment i received numerous calls from different people every day asking when i plan on sending my transcripts paper work etc… I received a call from Bryan Liebhart one day while i was driving and i asked him if i could call him back once i got home, but he was persistent and wouldn’t take no for an answer. At this point i was fed up and explained that they have poor order of communication. Weeks past and I was left in the dark not knowing what was going on. so i call and they tell me that i got RANDOMLY picked to be further reviewed to be accepted. Thanks to Bryans lack of communication i missed out on a session and cannot attend this school. Check out National University they are way more helpful and reliable
