Natalie - 04/29/2023

The major-specific professors are extremely knowledgeable, share their interesting first-hand experiences in the field, and provide wonderful support to students. However, there were a few gen-ed professors who definitely should not be teaching and I basically taught myself the material. There were a lot of group/ class interactions rather than just lectures. There is not much parking, so sometimes you have to drive around to find a spot, or walk a little ways.

Sydni - 02/14/2022

Tiffin has been a good school but as an online student taking 7-week courses, it has been difficult to balance work and school due to the large load of assignments given every week. The amount of work they require is a little absurd honestly, but the education is not bad. Most of the professors are great and willing to help. My only other complaint besides the workload is the internship. This school requires an internship to graduate; however, they will not help you find one. All that is left on my degree is an internship and I am struggling to find one for my degree. I have asked for help but never got any real response. I feel like I spent so much money here to not even be able to finish my degree.

corey - 09/01/2020

Tiffin is a amazing university. It is a extremely safe town and lots of great local businesses around here as well. Tiffin is also very athletically competitive as well. Acedemically they pride them selfs on their education and they also pride cultural awareness

Trish

I used Tiffin University's online learning website to earn my degree and it was not easy, I would reccommend doing half of the courses online and half on campus because its difficult to not have a professor and other peers to work with and bounce ideas off of.
