Nexford Reviews 40

I interviewed for the Video Editor role at Nexford University. The first round was a video interview with their new Head of Growth, Ragen Dodson. After a strong conversation, I was invited to submit a creative assignment, not a skills test, but a fully developed, multi-platform video campaign titled:

“What REALLY Gets You Hired in 2025”

I was asked to:
• Develop a hero video script
• Pitch TikTok/Reels concepts
• Create a moodboard or script
• Plan the team workflow
• Provide a distribution strategy across YouTube, CTV, social media, email, and their website

I submitted a complete, professional-grade campaign. I tracked the email, and it was opened 9 times over several days. Then… silence. Until July 18, when I received a generic rejection email with no reference to my work, no feedback, and no indication that the project was even reviewed in good faith.

Here’s the kicker: Nexford simultaneously launched a webinar campaign with the same title as the assignment (“What Really Gets You Hired”), promoted across their social channels, featuring similar messaging. They even reposted the exact same job days later, proving they’re still collecting applicants, and possibly, more ideas.

Other Glassdoor reviews reveal a consistent pattern. Vague interview setups, information-heavy interviews focused on your current employer, “Homework” assignments that feel more like free strategy decks, ghosting after submissions, no hires, no feedback, no transparency.

This is exploitation and not evaluation.

Advice to job seekers:
• Don’t send Nexford anything strategic unless you’re under contract.
• Don’t expect feedback or clarity.
• If you get an assignment, watermark it and protect it or rather walk away.

I’m very disappointed with my experience at Nexford University. When I enrolled, the university was advertised as flexible and fast-paced, allowing new students to take two courses at a time and progress quickly. This was a key reason I joined, as I planned my studies and personal commitments around this schedule and even paid extra for transfer credits. Shortly after enrolling, the university changed its policy, new students are forced to take only one course at a time for the first eight courses. This change completely disrupted my plans and created financial and scheduling issues.
What’s worse, there is no clear withdrawal or refund process for new students affected by these changes. I contacted customer service at least eight times and requested phone calls three times, but all I received were generic template responses repeating the new policy. No one addressed my actual concerns or offered real solutions, and every attempt to escalate my case went nowhere. The only time I received calls was when I was being sold the program, not when I needed real support. I also scheduled meetings to discuss my academic path, but no one showed up-only to receive an apology message hours later.
The coursework itself was underwhelming for me. I finished assignments in about a week and consistently scored over 95%. In many cases, I could have learned the same material from YouTube videos, and the reading materials felt outdated and basic-something AI could easily improve. I do want to mention that the instructors were attentive and helpful, but unfortunately, the overall academic challenge was not there.
The new policy might help some students, but for those with prior experience or who want to move faster, it makes the program unnecessarily slow and frustrating. The lack of transparency, poor customer service, and inability to get a refund or even a proper response made this experience even worse. If Nexford is going to change its advertised policies, especially for new students, they should at least offer a way out or a refund option. As it stands, I cannot recommend Nexford to anyone looking for a truly flexible or responsive online university.

Nexford is not just a university. It is a global community of highly networked professionals. It gives you access to world class learning and prepares you for the future of work. My earnings jumped to 400% after my MBA at Nexford

NEXFORD is perfect to provide you a big understanding of how you introduce ur brand at market, how you communicate with people and embrace other's differences. It helps you to reach your potential.

Nexford University gives practical courses that can be implemented in the businesses. The courses are not focused on theoretical. This is good for practical business. The courses contain of YouTube videos, website links, journals, ebooks, and Nexford’s materials.

A great online university. All the learning are up to date! Very flexible and affordable yet accredited!

Most cost effective learning experience, hands on experience and US national accredited.

I had a great experience studying at Nexford University. The courses are well-structured, and the learning platform is easy to use. The support team is helpful, and the flexible schedule allows me to study at my own pace. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable and high-quality online education.

My experience with Nexford University was generally positive. I appreciated the consistent communication with success advisors, as well as the timely responses from the university’s processors. They always addressed my concerns efficiently.

However, I did encounter challenges with billing miscommunication. There were instances where I received payment requests even after I had already paid, and at times, I was billed without prior confirmation. Although I was able to resolve these issues, this highlights a need for better coordination and communication across departments.

Additionally, when I enrolled, I initially believed that I could request an official transcript at any time without additional costs from the university. However, I later discovered that there is a fee for sending transcripts, and this fee was increased due to international transfer costs. I found the amount charged to be unreasonable and believe that students should be clearly informed about these fees before enrolling. Improving transparency regarding costs would enhance the overall student experience.

I graduated from the Nexford University (BBA program) on the last of 2021. It's an online degree that is actually amazing for me. A self-paced learning style fit with my learning style. Although we still have to be discpline to do assignments according to instrustions given and before the deadline that provided.

The materials deliverables are interactive, so I don't easily get bored when the process of learning. Besides that, there are quizzes that make me keep focusing on what we just learned. The professors are detailed on reviewing my assignments and giving valuable feedback on it.

For me, the flexibility of online learning is very helpful because I have another study in offline university and business to do at the same time.

Also, they are not only give attention to my progress academically but if there's something that hinder me such as financial circumstance, mental health, or other problems, they will reach me and discuss for the solution (I often to tell my story life to my success advisor when stressed out). I feel really comfortable and satisfied with their education services.

Overall, I would give ☆☆☆☆☆ for the combination of affordability, flexibility, and a practical, skill-based curriculum that was exactly what I needed to advance my career without breaking the bank or interrupting my work schedule.

The content of the business fundamentals course is good, but my monthly payment for the MSDA course exceeded the amount specified in the tuition breakdown promised to me by the billing department by $61 per month. They assured me it wouldn’t exceed this amount. I’d appreciate more consistency in the tuition fees, as accurate information is essential for budgeting purposes.

NXU is affordable and yet provides amazing education quality. Everything is done online meaning it allows those working full-time a chance to further their education. The fact that you study online does not mean it's a walk in the park, assignments are expected to be of high academic calibre with citations and everything. For instance, you can score low if you do not adhere to APA guidelines. I absolutely loved the MBA. I am planning on doing my MSc soon.

My experience at Nexford has been eye-opening and valuable. I’m four courses into my MBA and I’ve already had the opportunity to apply some of the principles I’ve studied in real-time at work.

Great institution with modern teaching facilities

highly recommended, affordable and flexible

Got terrible treatment from Nexford. I gave them the opportunity to right their wrong. They chose not to. I'm considering withdrawing from the MBA.

I had to halt my MBA with Nexford, it appeared fraudulent, I was not satisfied with their communication in the admin office. I was made to spend so much when there was not proper communication between the admin and success office. I could not trust them any more so I pulled out knowing that they are clearly aware that the payment I have made til date was not necessary. They apologised but with no refund.

My experience as an MBA learner at Nexford University so far has been rich and fulfilling. The curriculum is intense and relevant in addressing current challenges in the business world. Nexford’s assessment is competency based, which ensures that learners are well equipped with the knowledge and skill needed to proffer sustainable solutions in their respective fields. The professors and success advisors are accessible to guide you on your academic journey. And yes, it is also very affordable!

I am very sorry that I do not see reviews of students who have studied here. this university has a wonderful concept - you can get a high-quality education at a business school from anywhere in the world, very cheaply. and by very cheap, I mean $100 a month. I think this is a great chance for people who have failed to get an education at a top university. we need more such initiatives!
