Everglades University Reviews
Before attending Everglades online, I struggled to maintain a passing attendance record and remain motivated throughout the semester. Now, I attend class every day, being that I can attend them from anywhere, and I see my grades as I finish each course throughout the semester, thanks to their class structure.
All of the instructors at Everglades are compassionate, highly experienced, and responsive. They have made a difference in the online learning environment facilitated by the school’s program
Everglades University took away the jitters of studying for my Master’s degree in leadership. I was nervous, but ended up feeling at ease during orientation. Dean Jason is such a great person with his students. I was fascinated by the customer service and friendly welcome of the staff. From admissions to administration, everyone was great, and I was drawn to the beautiful campus building.
I was able to continue and grow in my career and with my experience and knowledge gained at Everglades University I was able to work my way up from coordinator to construction manager and now project manager with a nationwide electrical contractor working on very interesting and challenging projects all over the country. I am currently a Project Manager for an Electrical Construction EPC firm, working mainly on utility scale renewable energy construction projects ranging from 2-10 million dollars. I love being able to be involved directly in the successful outcome of large scale construction projects and the problem solving involved with leading a project from development through completion.
After I got out of the military, I came to Everglades University because I have always been interested in holistic healing, especially with herbs. I love how this school sets up a different class each month. It is perfect for the type of learner I am. There is a big sense of community here. Everyone is very supportive.
Everglades University has truly changed my life by introducing a more intense and structured schedule. With monthly classes, weekly assignments, seminars, and meetings, I’ve developed a much stronger sense of time management. This routine has pushed me to stay organized and focused. Additionally, what I’m learning in my Construction Management classes is already helping me connect with professionals in the industry I’m preparing to enter, making the experience both practical and rewarding.
I recently held an event for my nonprofit organization, One and The Same Inc., and I want to recognize Student Services Director Julie Bloom for going above and beyond. She took the initiative to send out a blast email to all the students in the Atlanta, GA area, helping spread the word and encouraging participation. Her support made a big difference, and I truly appreciate her efforts.
I first came to Everglades in 2022. I retired from the Air Force in 2019 and already had a Bachelor’s in Psychology from another institution. I found myself to be very bored post retirement and I love learning, so I decided to go back to school. I chose to pursue my Bachelor’s in Alternative Medicine because I’ve lived with chronic pain for several years and conventional medicine was not cutting it in terms of helping my situation. I wanted to learn alternative methods to care for myself and others. After finishing my Bachelor’s I chose to keep going by pursuing my Master’s in Public Health Administration with a Concentration in Functional Nutrition. My overall goal is to hopefully meet the requirements to obtain a position to teach online as a college professor.
I was working full-time and looking for an institution offering courses in marine biology. Since I didn’t have time with my work schedule to go to a physical campus, Everglades University’s Marine Resources & Management degree program sounded like the perfect fit.

I am so happy and proud of the education I received at EU Orlando campus. As a physician, my goal in the very near future is to open my own practice. I am looking forward to reaching back out to the student services department for assistance in hiring EU Orlando Alt med students and graduates to work at my clinic.
I am thankful for my admissions counselor Rob and his follow up which led to my enrollment. Rob made sure I had all the information I needed. The instructors are really knowledgeable. I’m super excited about my program, and I am looking forward to taking my construction classes.
I came to Everglades University because I have always been fascinated with aviation. I like the small classes because they have a personal, down-to-earth feel. The students and faculty can interact more with each other. This school is very enjoyable, compared to other colleges that I have attended.
The Alternative Medicine degree program significantly expanded my understanding of various forms of herbal medicine, as well as other areas such as Naturopathy and Homeopathy. One course that particularly stands out is Alternative Approaches to Diseases, where Professor Jomsky brought the subject to life with his extensive knowledge and experience. I am thrilled to have earned this degree, as it has broadened my perspective and inspired me to continue advancing my knowledge within the field of alternative medicine. I am grateful to Everglades University for motivating me to go above and beyond in my academic and professional journey.
I came to Everglades University to continue my education, using my GI bill benefits. I have nothing but positive things to say about Everglades University. The classes are smaller and more intimate. The staff and faculty are extremely helpful, and they answer any question I have. I am majoring in istration because I have always been interested in being business owner. As a student, I have motivation and pride in anything I do. With my leadership experience from the military, I am a good leader that people can talk to.
I’m Miriam and I moved from Miami to Orlando about seven months ago. I’m a registered nurse, belly dancer, and singer, but I love being out in nature and learning how to protect it.
I chose the sustainability major, because I believe, as humans here on earth, it is important knowledge to have. We want to live our life to the fullest, while being able to maintain the simple and grand things of life. I believe we were placed on this earth to enjoy life in abundance, and I feel that this major can enhance that vision.
This school has helped me better my life and my family’s life as well. The staff is very well educated and explained everything extremely well.
My experience so far with EU has been really good. I enjoy the communication from the staff, they are good about answering questions you may have promptly. Also, I enjoy the online experience I can still be active with my children while earning my bachelor’s degree in Alternative Medicine.
I really like the support system here at Everglades University. I always have someone to help me with my job search or financial aid. The professors are understanding and communicative, and the classes are very interesting. I like learning about sustainability and conservation for a better future.
Having the classes online made it possible to get our home squared away while I would spend a couple of hours per day working on assignments or doing research. Having that flexibility was absolutely essential for finding a balance between working full time and taking care of our children.
The Librarians and staff helped with questions on how to research and access information, which was challenging at first. I believe Student Services Director Mrs. Julie Bloom has been very helpful, because of her readiness and availability, sometimes at the last minute, to answer questions and to guide me. As a matter of fact, she is still working closely with me in finding the right fit for my new career. I am extremely grateful and thankful for her belief in me.
I’m certain that with the training and knowledge gained from the professors and with the guidance of Mrs. Julie Bloom, I will succeed. I am also confident that with this expertise gained, it will be invaluable to my future in making positive contributions to Public Health and Nutrition in the United States and possibly the world.
When I first started here at Everglades University, I was excited and nervous until I got into the classroom setting where everyone was nice. I like the professor’s style of teaching, too. I am happy to be here to complete my degree and one day become a general contractor.
I have to express my appreciation for Natasha’s passion and knowledge in the resume and career services arena. After 17 months without a job, and nearly 900 applications submitted, it was disheartening. With a great conversation to identify my experience and goals, drafting a new resume, as well as the encouragement to apply in a new career direction, I’m now the proud owner of a shiny new job, and had two other companies reach out as well! Thanks, Natasha!
Earning my Master’s in Public Health Administration with a concentration in Complementary and Alternative Medicine has been invaluable to my role as a Nurse at Palm Beach Home Health. My advanced education has equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of healthcare systems, patient advocacy, and the integration of holistic health practices. This knowledge has allowed me to provide more personalized, patient-centered care, combining traditional nursing with alternative therapies to enhance healing and well-being. I’m grateful for how my education has expanded my ability to support patients in a more meaningful way and contribute to the overall health of the community.
Everglades University has significantly changed my life by providing me with a high-quality education that has equipped me with the knowledge and skills necessary to pursue my career goals. This opportunity has opened doors that I never thought possible and has expanded my professional network. Overall, my time at Everglades University has truly transformed my personal and professional life for the better. I am grateful.
As a recent graduate, my time at Everglades University Miami Campus was an incredible experience. The staff and faculty were exceptionally supportive throughout my entire journey, always ready to offer guidance and encouragement whenever I needed it. The course load was flexible, allowing me to balance my studies with work and personal commitments without feeling overwhelmed. Everyone was accommodating, from professors to administrative staff, ensuring that I had everything I needed to succeed. On top of that, the team was always responsive, promptly answering questions and addressing concerns, which made navigating the program a smooth experience. I’m truly grateful for the amazing support system that helped me achieve my academic goals.
I decided to get my MBA in Project Management because I ran my own office automation systems company in Brazil and did project management for many years. Now I am learning the principles related to project management. I like having the classes in person because I enjoy the class discussions. This degree is going to be good for my career.
I came to Everglades University to further my education, explore possibilities of a new career, and learn from successful intellectuals in the industry. Everglades University challenged me to explore my intellect, learning skills, and time management habits in order to become a better person.
I came to Everglades University to study business and advance in my culinary career. I plan to open a new restaurant one day or manage an established one. Here at the Tampa campus, everyone is really welcoming, and it is a place where I know I can grow because everyone is supportive, including the staff and my classmates. Right now I am in MAN3065 Business Ethics with Dr. Carrillo, and we have been talking about how to make ethical decisions as a business. We are learning about companies’ previous mistakes in order to raise awareness of potential errors. The Everglades University Tampa campus is small, well-kept and clean. It is a comforting environment for the students.
After returning from my service as a helicopter rescue mechanic in the US Coast Guard, I decided to continue my education and get and MBA in Aviation Safety. I am eager to use my degree to excel with my new business in construction aerial imaging. The staff here at Everglades University Tampa Campus has been outstanding, helpful, responsive, amazing, and personable. I look forward to starting in my first class in Aviation Safety.
My name is Kimberly and I chose to begin my academic journey in Alternative Medicine to further my knowledge of holistic, and sustainable living. Over the past year I’ve spent my time changing and altering my lifestyle to improve my overall quality of life. Such positive results in my personal health have motivated me to dig deeper and educate myself so that I could help others make positive changes as well.
Throughout the enrollment process, the staff at Everglades has been genuinely wonderful, explaining any questions I have and easing any anxieties I might face, while making such a big change in my life. I am more than excited to start this new chapter of my life.
My experience over the last few years at Everglades University has been one of excitement. Each class brought me closer and closer to the next level of my aviation career.
I’m inspired to obtain my MPH, with the goal to work as a healthcare administrator within the health organization that I’m currently working for. I have a desire to improve the quality and efficiency of healthcare services within my community. Therefore, I believe as a healthcare administrator, I will fulfill this goal.
I believe that there is nothing more beautiful and meaningful to life than helping other human beings in order to improve their health and self-worth. As a healthcare professional, I understand the importance of giving back to society.
I am a busy working professional having to travel often, therefore I chose to attend Everglades University because of their on-line Bachelor of Science in Aviation Maintenance Management program. When I began the enrolling process, they were encouraging to work with and EU awarded me several credit hours towards the program for having completed my Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airframe and Power plant (A&P) license, as well as for my military service. These awarded credits boosted my confidence and provides me the opportunity to complete my degree much sooner.
Multiple instructors really helped me on my journey here. I can honestly say many times I felt so overwhelmed by the thought of failure, although my instructors reassured me that failure wasn’t even in sight. They reassured me that if needed I could ask for help, either from them or the online school tutors and support. Especially during my capstone class with Professor Kristen Ranges. Her knowledge and dedication to our development is outstanding!
I have had several successful careers as an entrepreneur, but I wanted to learn more about construction so that I could feel confident with starting a construction company focused on building affordable housing. I found Everglades worked for me as I could take all of my classes online. This was important as I’m also a full-time mom and didn’t want to uproot my kids from Vermont so that I could go back to school and get my Master’s degree. The accelerated course meant that I could focus full time on school instead of drawing out my learning over 2-3 years. My focus was on learning the information that would help me understand the business so whenever I had the opportunity my research for papers and projects was focused on areas that pertained to sustainability and affordability.

EU imparts comprehensive information and expertise in a certain field, establishing my skill level. EU provides opportunities to engage with professionals, academics, and colleagues in my profession. The demanding academic setting promotes critical thinking, problem-solving, and intellectual growth.
Everglades came into my life when I truly needed it. This school reminded me that I still had the strength to dream big. My academic counselor has been amazing — she encouraged me to turn my dreams into plans. And Arsenio, the librarian, made sure I had everything I needed to start off strong and stay focused. Thanks to them, I’ve found purpose again. I’m a team player and a natural leader, and I’m so proud to be part of the Everglades family.
As my time comes to an end here at Everglades University, this marks the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. I am filled with so much gratitude! I want to thank Everglades University for providing not only the academic foundation, but also the inspiration and guidance I needed to truly step into this path. I am not only celebrating the completion of my bachelor’s degree in Alternative Medicine but the beginning of a deeply personal and purposeful journey. Breaking a generational curse, I am the first woman in my family to graduate from college. If it were not for this university, I would’ve not been provided with the opportunity and embrace what I am called to do. I am the owner and founder of Rooted Healing , a small business that offers pop- up herbal education experiences that blend medicinal herb uses with hands on learning. I am excited to serve my community and empower them to integrate herbal medicine into their daily lives. This is just the beginning and as I move forward, I carry the values, the knowledge, and the strength I’ve gained here, and I am so excited for what the future holds.
To anyone still on the journey: keep going, it’s worth it.
Professor Torres and Professor Day have been instrumental in shaping my educational journey. Professor Torres’s in-depth knowledge and ability to connect theory to real-world applications pushed me to think critically about construction management and safety. Through his engaging business ethics class, Professor Day challenged me to evaluate complex moral dilemmas, preparing me to make ethical decisions in leadership roles. Their guidance and encouragement inspired me to strive for excellence and helped me build confidence in my abilities.
I came to EU because I wanted to go to school in person for my Masters in Aviation. I love the program! I actually liked it more than I thought I would. It was a joy to go to the classes and get to know Dr. Bellamy and Mr. Henry’s different teaching styles. I am preparing to graduate at the end of this class, and I look forward to advancing in my career.
I really like this university’s programs, professors, and environment. The class is small, so you have time to learn and understand the professor. This school is more personal. I want to tell people to come to this university if they are looking for a good place for education.
I am incredibly proud to have earned my bachelor’s degree in construction management. As we all know, life can present challenges, particularly as an adult balancing various responsibility. However, I am pleased to share that I persevered and overcame those challenges to achieve this goal. I am now pursuing a degree in Engineering, and with the guidance and support provided by my instructors and Everglades University staff and administration, I can continue this path. I am truly grateful for the foundation they have helped me built, enabling me to grow and develop both personally and professionally. Thank you.

My name is Conrad and I am a Block Mason. I have been married to my beautiful wife for two years and we have three beautiful children. I enjoy spending time with my wife and kids, going to church, playing basketball and eating spicy food and ice cream.
I have mixed emotions on coming back to school, as I am very nervous and excited all at the same time. I haven’t been to school in about ten years, but the staff has made the process seamless and I couldn’t feel any more confident going into this semester.
My end goal is to eventually own my own business and/or hold a prestige position within a construction company. I plan to use this degree as a steppingstone to further my career and I don’t plan on stopping here.
So many of the instructors were wonderful and really cared about student success. They knew the subjects and stimulated discussions that helped us learn the course content.
