Meridian University - Bay Area Center - Petaluma (CA)

5 /5 Alexis Melanie: i’m currently a fully online student in the psychology psyd program at Meridian University, and i thought id share my experience so far. overall, i’m really satisfied with the program. the flexibility of the online format fits perfectly with my schedule and fam life, . the course content is engaging. the faculty are knowledgeable and friendly. whenever i have a question or need clarification, they are quick to respond and genuinely seem to care about our progress. one area where i feel meridian could improve is in providing more hands-on opportunities, like virtual simulations or practical projects. while the theoretical knowlege is solid, sometimes I feel additional practical experiences would be beneficial. the tech platform for classes is generally reliable, though there have been a few hiccups with connectivity issues to Zoom.

The Psychology program stands out for its transformative Learning approach, which goes beyond traditional academics. The Faculty here are exceptional - not only are they highly knowledgeable in their Fields, but they bring a level of engagement and dedication that makes the learning experience truely special. Ive particularly appreciated their thoughtful feedback and willingness to engage in meaningful discussions that challenge conventional thinking.

The course content is rigorous and well-structured, striking a good ballance between theoretical foundations and practical Applications. While administrative communication can sometimes be slower than ideal, and the workload is definately challenging, these minor drawbacks are far outweighed by the quality of education and personal Growth opportunities.

5 /5 Jonny Fasson: I have had a good experience at Meridian so far. Im in the PsyD program and online format. The key difference at Meridian is transformative learning, and it is NOT for everyone. There were a couple people who left in the first semester because they wanted traditional courses only. I understand that, but Ive really appreciated the more unique approach to learning psychology from the inside out. My academic advisor is great. I wish it was easier to contact staff, but that isnt something I have to do all that often. Really all the faculty Ive had have been great -- very knowledgable and inspiring. I would recommend Meridian to anyone who is seeking an online psychology program and wants to go deep in that process. (I already posted this on Yelp a few months ago)
