Kimberly - 07/21/2021

Stay away from this school if you really want to get an education. You are merely a number and a dollar sign at this school. The professors, if they do not like you from the start, will do everything in their power to get you to leave the program. There is no flexibility, compassion, empathy, or even good morals at this place. I literally want to stab my eyes out when coming onto campus. My time is not valid yet the professors, who are paid well, can't even provide a simple answer to a question. Their answer is a round about way of answering so they are not held liable for you not knowing the information. The bridge program is a joke if you are already an OTA. You learn NOTHING to increase your skill set and yet, you are expected to keep an 83 average in class when the teachers DO NOT TEACH! There are 3 instructors in the program who care, the rest could not. Don't miss a class or a weekend because that will cause you to definitely fail, and you will have to wait a year to retake your classes. Honestly, I do not know how they are accredited by ACOTE or even are allowed to teach. The director should not be the director as she does not care about the students AT ALL... don't go to her with an issue either or you will be black listed. Alumni and current students have started a petition to ACOTE regarding the ridiculousness of this program. I hope ACOTE does something because to pay 100,000.00 for a master's at this school is not worth it!

I think Bay Path University is perfect for myself and many others! They have many majors to choose from including the one I was interested in which was Forensic Studies! I also play soccer at my college and we have excellent groups of student athletes. Overall, I am glad I chose to come to Bay Path University to further my education!! The campus I live at is so pretty and there is always something to do if the students are bored.

This is a college I have been looking for all along. I have wanted to finish my graduate degree for many years. I couldnt find a program where I could still work and take care of my family. Attending this college and this program has finally given me a way to full fill my dreams

Brooke

I love Bay Path it is a great school. I love that the classroom size is small it really gives the professors a chance to really know who you are. I never would have thought that I would attend an all women's college. Bay Path is all about empowering women and helping them become who they want to be in life.

Bay Path University FAQS

    The fall 2020 acceptance rate for Bay Path University is 59%. That means, out of _____ applications received in 2020 , _____ students were offered admission. The number of males who applied was _____ vs the number of females which was _____.

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    College life is an experience that does everything except mirror the highschool scene. The students who attend college have their own business and problems to focus on, their own academics to tend to, and do not seem to become entangled in the affairs of others, which is a recognizeable behavior in high school students. I would tell my high school self to remain focused on my studies, my extracurricular activities, and my personal relationships with the people that actually affect my life because the petty instances that often set back high school students will be a thing of the past in college. The negativity and discouraging situations with peers that are presented in high school seem to fade when you make the transition to college, and instead of sweating over where to sit in the cafeteria, rest assured that in college you can establish yourself among a variety of personalities, and feel welcomed in whichever environment you place yourself in. Bringing a positive and open minded persona to college is something you should not neglect to pack up with your material possessions, as demonstrating the ability to integrate into various, unfamiliar circumstances in college is going to be very advantageous!

  3. What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

    That the food service had such a poor budget and poor planning. The food was very good for what they had available to them, but as a person with dietary issues, they weren't great at accomdating for it unless it would lead to a medical emergency. Also, to make sure you really have all your stuff in order before commencement because they don't figure everything out until you're gone, and you need to keep up with them. I had an issue with credits and they didn't contact me, I had to contact them about it.
