Every individual is an individual. So being able to cater to those needs, I felt that was something that I really appreciated from CalSouthern University. One thing is how fast they got back to me with regard to the questions that I had. And they were able to lay out a very good plan catering to my needs.

– Navodhi H., Doctor of Psychology, 2024

[This degree program] was a piece that I didn’t know was missing, but it truly helped me get through a lot of different things. It kept me focused. It kept me engaged. It kept me grounded in what I do. My other degree is a Doctor of Social Work and higher learning, and I’ve always worked with individuals. But this Doctor of Psychology has imbued me with even more depth of knowledge about human behavior, especially in critical times.

– Michael S., Doctor of Psychology, 2024

The faculty mentors were knowledgeable and accessible. My learner support specialist helped me stay on track throughout the process. Attending CalSouthern was a fantastic experience!

– Isaiah A., DBA Program, 2024

Communications via email were always so effective. At times we had some communication over the phone. When it comes to registering for the next course or pushing the start date or anything like that, they were there to facilitate the logistics of this educational journey and that is essential.

– Elisa T., Bachelor of Psychology, 2024

My experience with the faculty was great. All my faculty members graded on time. They were able to explain when I needed answers. And the course curriculum itself was powerful.
