I always dreamed of being a student in this school but i don't know yet

Not a top tier school, but what it does, it does very well! The admission process is very smooth. Your paperwork does not get stuck under a pile or fall through a crack. My academic counselor Patti had already swapped out my undergraduate business courses from my MBA degree plan to facilitate things even before we sat down to have that conversation, which I had expected to be at least a struggle. Very impressive, I was pleasantly surprised! There are some great members of faculty and staff here and I am glad I chose Lewis.

I received little to no financial assistance. I had to plead with them to send my transcripts. They told me I could give them the money I had to register for classes. They took my money and still did not let me register for classes.

Admission process was okay. Financial Aid process is a nightmare. And they do not care about their transfer students.

Awful university, very unprofessional teachers and horrible quality of life. Food is EXTREMELY overpriced. I am not exadurating when I say it costs you 10$ per plate of food at the dining centers.

Lewis does indeed have an idyllic campus, with some of the best faculty to ever facilitate education. At Christmas every year, Lewis sends out fabulous cards to anybody with even a remote connection to the university, on very nice 120 pound card stock. Lewis also is at best capricious and at worst extremely inconsistent as to whom, as an administration, it favors, and whom it does not. Lewis is run by the Christian Brothers, also known as the Lasallians. Lasallians are supposed to base their educational methods on five principles rooted in Catholic values and virtues. That does not seem to hold true for the Lasallians at Lewis, and the administration hired to represent them. Sixty-three to sixty-five percent of the faculty at Lewis is composed of adjunct, or part-time, faculty. To be an adjunct means to not only have expertise as an academician, but the skills to be an expert in the corporate, commercial, industrial world where most of us reside. It also means only thirty-five to thirty-seven percent of the faculty is full-time staff. Even less than that are tenured. An adjunct faculty member of Lewis recently died. This person taught at Lewis for twenty years. The professor's classes were well-attended, and most students appreciated the professor's efforts. The faculty member taught anywhere from three to five classes a semester, what elsewhere would constitute a full class load. This person went to the annual adjunct dinner, as well as volunteered for May Institute, seminars, convocations, and panels. When this adjunct could no longer drive to Lewis, the individual took it upon himself two days a week to get up extremely early, take Metra into the Loop, to be on time for the Lewis bus to the main campus. Lewis's official answer to the adjunct faculty member's death was a copier paper sheet sent to the family in condolence, on which had been copied a Scripture verse, and the heading, "On behalf of the Brothers of the LaSalle Community, I want to extend our deepest sympathies..." That's it. A few individual colleagues took the time to offer Masses, call, attend the visitation. Not the Christian Brothers, and not the administration that represents them. There are other examples that Lewis is not the Catholic university you would think it is. Look for these before you commit to attendance, or send your child to attend, Lewis. Do your own research. Find out how safe the dormitories really are. Look for the location of the chapel, and find the story on the conversion of what was once the chapel into a venue for luncheons and special events. Examine what you will receive for paying sixty-seven to eighty percent more than a public school, particularly for general education credits easily obtained at the local community college for thirty-three percent of the price of tuition at Lewis. And if nothing else convinces you to look elsewhere, remember that the majority of the professors who will teach you or your child are adjuncts, people skilled in both the classroom and the real world. And remember how Lewis treats those valuable, skilled people. Badly, at best.

I really enjoy this school, great advisors, students, and professors

What a terrible place full of a bunch of crazy religious people! I'm sorry but no you shouldn't force people to take christian ethics classes. Universities should promoted and embrace diversity not shove their beliefs down your throat! It's 2018 and they haven't seemed to realize that people come from non-religious/other religious households.

Not the same University I graduated from in 2014. The ten class graduate program is enticing but curriculum isn’t what it once was. The staff used to practice their mission statement in everything they did however now it seems like everyone fakes it. What happened in the last five years that changed the university that taught me so much!?

Avoid this place at all cost. Very expensive for no reason, has a horrible career services department, The job board is out sourced and so bad the University doesn't put it's own job openings on it on purpose. No recruiter or career fests on it's own. I was unemployed for over a year after I graduated and on top of that saddled their $27,000 a year tuition that ruined my credit. arrogant attitude from a faculty who most have never had to get a real job in the last 10-15 years. When I asked for help I was actually told by the HR director named Lori to go work at McDonald. Please avoid this place at all costs they Make over $150,000,000 to a year on tuition according to Moraine Valle and everyone I met that went their like me had horrible issues finding a decent job while places like Depaul charge just a little bit more and place %79-%99 of their graduates and under grads. Please for your own well being avoid this place.

This is a review of the part time evening MBA program offered by Lewis University. At this point in time, Lewis U doesn't offer a full-time day program. I completed the MBA program in the fall/winter of 2015. Let's start at the beginning and go in order: - Admissions process The admissions department receives an A+ in my experience. I would consider the admissions criteria for entrance into the program to be on the "Easy" side - Accredited undergraduate degree, application, phone interview, current resume, $50 fee, and No GMAT required. Transfer Credit - I was able to transfer in 3 courses from DeVry / Keller Graduate School of Management: Managerial Accounting, Managerial Finance, and Organizational Behavior. Being able to transfer in 3 courses is more than the 2 courses other MBA programs in the Chicagoland area would take in transfer. I'm not sure if this is an exception or the rule, double check to see if this has been updated. - Financing The student loan process was really easy. The per course cost is around $2k plus books. Not as cheap as the state college/university programs, not as expensive as the nationally recognized programs (Northwestern, U of C, etc.) The ability to complete this program in the mid to high $20k range makes a high ROI (Return on Investment) possible from the Lewis U MBA. - Professors / Instructors I found the instructors of the program to be fantastic. For me, it was the perfect blend of retired professionals who wanted to teach what they learned in their specific field, experienced professionals transitioning into the world of academia in an adjunct capacity, and career academic professors. The combination of academic and professional /corporate perspective in the classroom is one of the areas that I feel Lewis U's MBA program excels. Most professors / instructors were very understanding about work and home responsibilities & conflicts. The vast majority of students are working adults with families. On a few rare occasions I witnessed professors / instructors push back on the small percentage of students who consistently had excessive missing assignments and absences. This was rare; most students did the work and were responsible. - Academic rigor / workload / difficulty I found the courses that comprise the program up to date, relevant, and most of all engaging. The topics covered were well thought out and delivered from my perspective. I like the design of the program. This program is in no way shape or form easy or a joke. It is totally possible to complete this program while having the responsibility of a full time career and a family. You do need to "do the work" though! Most courses have, or in my experience had, a team related project. As with any team related activity, some team members were motivated and made great contributions, some did the bare minimum, others rode coattails. That being said, Lewis U was definitely the right choice for me. - Flexibility I was able to utilize 3 different campuses and the online format (they use "Black Board" as their platform) to complete all the requirements. - Capstone / Thesis I was not required to prepare, complete, and defend a Thesis Statement. Instead, the completion of the program includes a Capstone Course when the better part of the requirements have been completed. Basically the requirements of this course are for you (within the framework of a team, my team consisted of 3 people) perform copious amounts of research on an assigned publicly traded company. The final grade of the course is based on a final presentation by the team in the capacity as upper management to the board of directors. The research methods taught in this course are worth the cost of the program in my opinion. - Summary My opinion is that the MBA program at Lewis University is high quality, well designed, and delivered. If you are considering adding an MBA to your resume this program has the potential to provide a high ROI. I look forward to becoming active alumni.

I am working on my graduate degree at Lewis. It is one of the most respected Universities in the Midwest. Under graduates may not like it because it isn't a party school but that isn't why they are going there. They are going there to learn.

Save your money. Go to a state school. Don't get me wrong great education great teachers. You will be required to take religious classes. It is fairly expensive comparatively speaking. If you transfer here don't expect much in terms of financial aid.

Dental Hygiene, B.S (2 years at Lewis University which cost approximately $42000) is a SCAM running by Lewis University in collaboration with College of DuPage two-year community college in Glen Ellyn, Illinois. 12 Students were given admission in this program with the 1st semester started end of AUG 2016, after 2 weeks into the new semester, Lewis University got funds from the student for the 1st year, Program Coordinator for Dental Hygiene gives a Shocking News to the new Students that only 2 students will be accepted for B.S in College of DuPage (for 3rd & 4th year) to complete Bachelor Degree. In May 2016 Lewis University was aware of this rule and did not informed to the students and parents about the acceptance rate in DuPage College after 2 years completion. Lewis University hide this important news/information from Students & Parents and accepted more than 10 students in anticipation that some drop out after 1 year and some don't make to the College of DuPage. Lewis University should stop this SCAM and inform clearly to all the Students and Parents who are interested in Dental Hygiene program and not only interested to take there money and shock them after the new semester started.

Lewis Graduate, and I have nothing but great things to say. Lewis was like a family to me, the environment, the faculty, the programs, and just all that makes Lewis university. Strong foundation in the start of my business. Strongly reccomend it!

Lewis University used to be a university that fostered it mission statement in everything it did. However, with the parting of Brother James Gaffney 2016 the University has fallen into ruin much like Benedictine University. The not for profit is run much like a for profit university. The president expects a monetary donation just to meet with him. On campus faculty complain that complaints and problems are swept under the rug to the point of alienation. Tenured professors are leaving for calmer water in prestigious schools like UIC and they have switched from using experienced PhDs to adjunct facility with graduate degrees to teach graduate level courses. It’s a disaster and not what it used to be. The application of course related material may have many scratching their heads after graduation as the curriculum isn’t what it once was. For those of you in the recruiting field this is similar to Governors State pre 2013 when they almost lost accreditation and companies refused to hire candidates with said degrees. The outlook isn’t good. As a former Alumni and honors student, Lewis University is becoming the next University of Phoenix degree mill. If you’re a prospective student seeking advice apply elsewhere. Your degree will be accredited when you graduate. With Lewis University I’m not so sure.

Beautiful campus! Great nursing program as well as aviation programs. Small aircraft always flying around which makes for an interesting atmosphere. Professors are helpful and want you to succeed. Mostly a commuter school with a few dormitories on campus. Food is mediocre, so bring a sack lunch.
