My problem with BM is that they claim to be acreditable school, but after attending there and graduating from my program of medical assistant I still have not been able to get a job. I am not attending Ivy Tech in Valparaiso and none of my credits from BM would transfer. I had to take almost all of my classes over again due to the false notion about credit transferring. I also realize that BM level of education that they provide is way undersatisfactory. I am taking the same classes at Ivy Tech that I took at BM and the level of education that is being taught is night and day. Brown Mackie's level of education is only one third of the education you recieve at Ivy Tech. This explains why each class at BM only lasted one month. A real college/university class lasts a full semester or sixteen weeks. THEY ARE A FRAUD. tHEY STEAL PEOPLES HARD EARNED MONEY. Brown Mackie college needs to stopped.

was thinking about attending school at brown mackie college they told me that the degree will transfer to a 4 year university I scored high 80's on entrance test said I was the first in a year to not have to take any remedial courses any opinions of what I should do or is there any truth to what they are telling me

I too was taken by BMC many years ago in Overland Park, KS. I worked in the investigative field, and thought I had researched them...boy, was I wrong!! I enrolled in the now long defunct court reporting program. You were supposed to be up to 45 wpm to go to the first speed class..none of us attained that, and it just snowballed from there. As it turns out, only 2 students in the entire time they had the program actually ever did get a decent job when they somehow managed to graduate. I switched to the paralegal program when I was tired of being lied to by the CR instructors..another mistake!! I had started the paralegal program at a local junior college, plus had worked for attorneys so I had an idea of what I should be learning..wrong again!! They actually had the family law class briefing the movie Kramer V.Kramer, not the case the movie was based on, but the movie. Kind of impossible to do..how do you get the citations?

I took legal computers WestLaw, etc. independent study and got an A...only problem was, the teacher never showed up to work with me like he was supposed to..I would show up and sign in..that was how I got the A. when I finally tracked the instructor down, I challenged him about it and he replied, "That is why I have paralegals..to do this stuff for me, I don't have a clue about it." It just goes on and on..I was told that I had graduated, but never did get my certification and/or diploma. I found out later that the CR program was dropped because "it is so very difficult for anyone to graduate from it". They used the enticement in the 80's that if you didn't find a job within your field after a certain time after you graduated your tuition would be free..they just "forgot" to mention the fine print during the in-take interviews...you had to go on any interview they found for you, any where in literally the world at your own expense, of course, or the deal was void. They had absolutely the worst teachers on the face of the earth for the most part..there were a couple who were excellent, and i never could figure out why they stuck it out there...others would leave as soon as they saw what was going on there. We were actually threatened by a Mr. Tally, who was owner/president at the time of at least the Salina and OP campuses. When we had all gotten sick of the being lied to, etc., he called us all together and informed us that his attorneys were better than any we could possible retain and we would go down if we even tried to file suit. In both the CR and para programs they flat-out lied about starting salaries. They changed academic deans at the OP campus almost as often as some people change their clothes..literally sometimes up to 3 per semester..their recruiters and placement counselors were total liars.

The statue of limitations is, of course, long past for me, and I am now in my late 50's and will be paying back the student loans probably until the day I die. I don't even mention BMC on any forms..I literally had people laugh in my face when I mentioned I had attended BMC!!!

What I find especially scarey is that they are now offering medical training?!?! I would be checking on my nurses, etc. to see where they went to school!!!

If anyone knows of anyway to get their money back from this so-called institution of higher learning, please share with the rest of us.

And BTW, as mentioned, I did do my research, unfortunately back then we didn't have the internet to check things out..you had to physically go to the court house to check out any complaints. Also, I wasn't a young kid at the time, I was in my early 30's, and was working full-time as well as trying to go to school full-time. The staff was horrid..I had an issue where my husband had left me without a vehicle..BMC had promised to all of their students that they would take any steps necessary for continuing to get to school. The dean at the time told me to take a cab...let's see, I lived 25 miles away, and was making minimum wage, had class 4 days a week, hmm, that would have put me in the hole to the tune of lord only knows how much every week. A little poetic justice here, though, I heard that he ended up selling men's suits at JC Penny after he left BMC!!!

I have been in touch with a lawyer and he says that I have a good case. I know there are several others interested in a class action lawsuit. I really think we can pull this together. Please feel free to contact me at [email protected]. Please read my complaint listed under brizi37. I attended the Brown Mackie Campus in Cincinnati.

My daughter has been enrolled in Brown Mackies Veterinary Technology Program and is 2 months away from graduation. They just dropped her from the program after taking over 30, 000. in government school loans that my daughter will have to pay back after getting nothing from this shady, here today, gone tomorrow school. My daughter is Bi-polar and has always had to struggle in school. Instead of reaching out to help her she has been picked on and bullied and yelled at. It has been her lifelong dream to work with animals and now they have torn that dream from her. She does great in the academics but has struggled in the externs. It has been hard for her to go to any kind of tutoring because of having to fulfill her externship. Now they are trying to coerce her into joining yet another worthless program at their school so she can work as a veterinary office assistant? This school preys on single mothers that have financial assitance. They are not ready to work at their profession when they get out. this is a disgrace!
