"Do not ever give them your phone/email address when inquiring about a certain program unless you want to be spammed for all of eternity! I inquired about their MBA program over a year ago and am STILL receiving spam emails (even though I've unsubscribed) and phone calls! I have no idea what their classes/teachers are like, but their marketing/admissions department needs some help!"

"Marylhurst has a beautiful campus. The professors are really good. It is a LOT OF WORK. I'll be finishing my BA this summer. If I had one criticism, it would be that the professors are pretty slow in responding to emails."

"Marylhurst University is a wonderful academic institution. I am a proud alum. I completed my undergraduate and graduate degree here and I only wish I could have also continued to complete my PhD studies here. As I am completing my doctoral journey now, I am finding that Marylhurst University has prepared me very well to succeed in my current PhD program, and for this I remain exceptionally thankful to Marylhurst University. Marylhurst University is a hidden jewel, it will remain forever in my heart as the greatest life academic experience one could enjoy while engaging on the path of becoming a scholar."

"Marylhurst as a school: I had an elderly male teacher asks me out. The same teacher used me as an alibi in his personal drama. He informed me if a certain someone asked about him that his alibi was a reason for the approach. Another male teacher/ department head grabbed my leg over coffee. He also criticized my car for being a low class status. I am a student. It gets from me point A to point B so my car works. Some teachers did help me learn in depth on certain subjects. Not all teachers are bad. The science department is a joke. There were plastic Dinosaurs and a painted plaster, fake fossil, in the small display case within the science building. The "science building" only has two rooms. Most of the building are offices for the department heads. Two department heads and a career counselor approved of my BA internship at Marylhurst. However a graduate school program at Marylhurst did not accept that internship. The career counselor did nothing about her misguidance, same for the department heads. She was like, oh well. Thanks for screwing with my future. Not mention their graduate school is a joke for several reasons. The teachers are not updated, think projector slides. I was refused application assistance on materials I needed to provide for grad school, by the department's academic advisor. There is more experiences but I feel like elaborating on those. Perhaps they don't need the money. There is no book store on campus. That's right. A university without a bookstore. The bookstore was dismantled to save money. The bookstore leaves only of a low-grade cafe with obvious desperate business hungry managers. They freeze their food and then change the expiration dates on the food. I seen cafe employees do this. I stopped going there. The dean of students/ counselor, Zuelke, was laid off. He critisized students for failing a class even for health issues. He didn't actually counsel. Instead he made referrals to low budget counselors at other schools and businesses. Also I met about three other students that left his office in tears. I did not leave his office in tears but I left with no help. My peers and myself may never understand why he was the dean of students. As a Maryhurst Employee: The school is in debt several million dollars. There were at least 2 rounds of lay offs with in two years even HR got laid off. HR fired individuals who did not fit in with their clicks. They made up reasons since OR is a fire at will state. They were unrational/illogical when acting like a defense attorney for their clicks. Karma is awesome. It was nice to see karma after witnessing their reinforced inhumane actions. The cafe on campus tries to be super but fails. Due to budget cuts I can smell the desperation reaking off the manager who lacks knowledge in coffee. The assistant manager is worse since she makes icky drinks but explains why and how she knows what she made is right. She puts half and half in Americanos. Yes it preserves the shots but please be considerate of the lactose intolerant. Also she takes advantage of personal advertising for her non-affiliated school music. Stop being self fish and save poster room for students. I will say that the security personnel were kind. Also undergrad admissions. In my opinion the "Marylhurst is the school for adults slogan" is a nice way of saying, we cannot afford dorms, sports teams, and so forth. Like any bad relationship, Marylhurst took a while for the true colors to show but after they did, I was traumatized. There you have it, Marylhurst University in a nutshell."

"I am one week shy of completing my MBA program at Marylhurst. The online classes are kind of a joke, I didn't get a whole lot out of them. The advisors are not super helpful. I was sent an email about what my capstone would be like (one paper wtih no discussion posts) it has been a bunch of little assignments and has been completely different from what they said it would be. Honestly, if you are looking for an easy MBA program that involves very little effort, this is the place to go, however; if you value your education, look elsewhere."
