Tami Brongiel Our son was able to graduate with a bachelors and Masters degrees at the same time. He got a great job offer and generous salary from a large accounting firm afterwards. Small school where the faculty are genuinely interested in student success. Very pleased with his education.

Milton Restituyo A Caution for Minority and International Students Considering Bradley Universitys Ed.D. Program
As an experienced educator and doctoral student, I enrolled at Bradley University with high hopes of rigorous academic engagement and meaningful mentorship. While some instructors were professional, my overall experience in the Ed.D. program was marked by repeated moments of marginalization, disregard, and unequal treatment—especially as a minority student educated outside the U.S.
Several professors demonstrated a lack of cultural sensitivity and empathy. One publicly implied in front of the class that I might not understand academic concepts because I was educated abroad—a moment that was deeply humiliating and unprofessional. Others failed to follow through on their own revision requests or denied me academic opportunities that were granted to other students. In the most recent case, despite submitting assignments that had previously earned perfect scores, I received drastically reduced feedback with little encouragement and no genuine effort to support me as I dealt with personal family health struggles.
In response to these ongoing concerns, I submitted a formal complaint letter addressed to the highest levels of the university’s leadership, including the Office of the President. Unfortunately, I never received a response—not even an acknowledgment. I cannot help but believe that, had I been a white student, my concerns would have been taken more seriously and afforded at least a basic level of respect and accountability.
These experiences—taken individually—might seem minor, but as a pattern, they point to something more serious: a culture that appears to lack inclusion, empathy, and equitable treatment for all students. For those from minority or international backgrounds, I urge caution and deep consideration before enrolling. Doctoral programs are demanding enough without the added burden of subtle biases and systemic neglect.
I share this not out of bitterness, but out of responsibility. I believe in higher education that is both rigorous and compassionate. Sadly, that was not my experience at Bradley University.

Stephanie Delice The worst school to attend they are unprofessional and unorganized. The worst decision I have ever made. The administration department is not help or reliable at all.
