Is this a bad sign if colleges aggressively call you

I am interested in three schools for their public health grad program; University of South Florida, University of Southern California and University of Arizona State. These will be all online programs offered through these colleges.

The University of Southern California has contacted me at least three times these past two weeks, not to mention the emails. University of South Florida contacted me once shortly after I put in a request for information. I like the programs but now I am starting to question them.I have not received any calls from the University of Arizona, I guess because I did not put in a request for information. Being too eager for me to call back is kind of scaring me away.

When I applied to my last college for my bachelors program. I don’t remember receiving any type of phone call. I only received a packet and acceptance letter, so I am not used to this.

Should I be concerned? Any thoughts on these 3 schools?

they are calling you because online grad programs are a BIG money maker . teaching in person is less cost efficient for the college, but is much better for the students.

If you want to get a masters degree in public health- enroll in an accredited grad school program where you go to actual classes with other students and interact in person with profs. - not some virtual program.

I agree that you should do an on-campus program if you can, but if you need to do online for any reason, ASU Online is one of the better online programs out there.
