Do not attend this school unless you know 100% you will complete your degree without transferring out to another school. Their credits do NOT transfer. They substantially have raised tuition each year I attended. Their core classes are named and descriptions cause other schools to look at them as electives! They use shady and deceptive admission policies to gain new students. None of their departments work together to keep the same policies, completely unorganized. Dont believe the hype in these comments, Alverno has one of the lowest graduation rates in the state

High standards in a society that continues to decrease them. I'm an educator and was a student here. I know what I'm talking about.

What can I say I LOVE Alverno! I graduated back in 2011 and now I am currently working there. Alverno changed my life, when I started at Alverno I was a very shy 18 year old and now 10 years later you can't shut me up! I will talk and talk and talk about anything you want. Alverno College is truly an amazing school and I wish more people knew that.

The schools doesn't even deserve a star... I ordered my transcripts 7 months ago and they still haven't made them and tried to cut me short on the classes I took. Transferring is a nightmare!
