I am currently in my 5th semester out of 8 at USA in the ACNP track. It has been a great experience and in no way have we all been left to fend for ourselves. Now, saying that, it IS an online program, and is so for a reason, so yes, we do self teach a lot, but the professors are always available for questions and discussions. But, all of us in the program chose online, again, for a reason, not having to go to class is fantastic. The courses have become much more regulated, and the clinical portion has become more straightforward and simple in order to decrease difficulties that previous semester students had. All in all, I am very thankful for USA's program and am looking forward to finishing up.
