Education Your Way. Read what NCU alumni have to say about the university and the programs. Our students tell in their own words what we did for them and what we can do for you!
I am writing this letter to express my appreciation to everyone at New Charter University (NCU).
In 2014, I had earned my bachelor’s degree, and had a great job with a great company. Never the less, I was missing something my mother always wanted me to get, my Master’s degree. She never specified the discipline, she just wanted to see me earn a Master’s degree. At the time, I was working as a Supervisor of Security with a mayor hospital chain in the US. I decided to request tuition assistance from my employer in order to complete my Master of Science in Criminal Justice (MSCJ). My employer, expeditiously approved my request for tuition assistance, and I was on my way to earning this important credential. I applied with NCU, and was surprised to see how efficient the process was going for me. In less than a week, I was accepted, and was scheduled for my first class. Even before the first day of class, my instructor emailed me to provide me with encouragement and guidance.

I was an original student of Andrew Jackson which later became New Charter.
The process of moving to New Charter was seamless. I had excellent help from advisors in making the change.
I have worked in healthcare since 1981 in jobs ranging from receptionist in a physician office to CFO of a community hospital. I finished my Master’s degree in healthcare with New Charter a few years ago. The complete on-line format worked very nicely with my work schedule. I found the classes to be challenging and enjoyed the fact that I was learning something new even though I was already in a leadership position. The professors were great to work with and always there if you had an issue or just a quick question. New Charter was a perfect fit for me and I am forever grateful to the university for helping me achieve my goal.

My name is April Khong and I just graduated from New Charter University with an Associate of Science in Communication Degree.
I always have had a fear in studying online and prefer classroom kind of setup because I feel that I could raise questions immediately or have a discussion with classmates when in doubt. Impressively, I would like to say that I had a fruitful learning with the instructors at NCU. They have been coaching me patiently and showing great encouragement despite the time difference between countries. Even responding almost immediately at wee hours(for them) just to answer my questions. The most exciting and impactful value I had learned from NCU, is to believe in myself, to be independent and organize my time to successfully obtain my desired results. A piece of advice to the future NCU students, face your fear and never be afraid to try. Lastly, with this degree, I could now further my higher studies to be a successful counselor.

My name is Faith Petrov. I am a proud graduate of the MBA in Healthcare program, New Charter University.
I would have never been able to accomplish this without the tremendous support I received from the NCU leadership, administrative staff, student advisor, and my professors. Just like so many of us who are studying online while trying to fulfill other life responsibilities, I was hesitant to enroll in the MBA program; I was anxious about whether I can handle both school work and other life responsibilities. My message to students is: Never get discouraged. Whether students or not, life will always impose multiple demands on us. It is better that we make strategies to manage such demands and take care of our study, health, and be thankful to the support and guidance we receive from those who made our success a reality.

My name is Samuel Ochieng’ Ngesa . I am a proud graduate of the MBA in Finance, New Charter University.
One of the skills that learners need to make good use of is communication.
Throughout studies, I have faced tones of challenges e.g. losing a laptop. The coaches from NCU were very understanding in helping me to reconnect and submit my projects and occasionally extend the deadlines.

My name is Adan Hussein. I am a proud graduate of the MBA in Finance, New Charter University.
The major challenge is presented by the best benefit of the educational platform of the university; CONVENIENCE.
Convenience is the most important benefit provided by the university followed by the tailor made relevant courses. The fact that we have control over our learning gives us the benefit of learning and advancing our carriers even when we are working and seem to have less time for learning. However, without a proper individual plan and timetable for learning, we may reach the end of the time allocated for the course without actually completing. This has been a major challenge which has been a fault of my own due to undue procrastination. Learning needs discipline and effective planning without which we fail to reach our goal.
However, I was finally able to arrest the problems and complete my course “better late than never”.
If it were not for the support of the university team, I would not have finished my course. Kudos to the team at NCU and the great learning platform. Keep up the good work.

“New Charter’s program didn’t just provide me with a degree, it provided me with an education. As a working professional and provider for my family, I did not have the time or ability to pursue my MBA at a traditional “brick and mortar” campus. New Charter provided me with a program that allowed me to work at my own pace, and provided courses that helped me gain real world perspective.”
“The ideas and concepts presented in my NCU curriculum taught me how to be a better manager at work because I understand more about finance, accounting, and computers than I did before.”
“I have learned how to work with and develop employees to obtain positive business outcomes while maintaining positive employee morale.”
“New Charter University provided me with the roadmap to a degree and more importantly, my dreams. I am so proud to be a graduate and alumnus.”
“As I graduate with BCs in Business Management and Leadership from New Charter University am felt with gratitude to, Technology, Yea even coming from 3rd world internet has an abled me achieve what I could have done in a traditional class set up. Dedicated staff, I can only say NCU has the best instructors dedicated to learners needs and able to deal with people from across different social background. Flexible time table, One can complete courses within own time schedule so enough time to work on projects especially with General courses. Among other reason am grateful have had this rare opportunity to have my undergraduate degree from World class institution. One quick advise I can give to any learner taking NCU online courses is please do away with the habit of procrastination it wastes lots of valuable time.”
