  I am a current student at Southeastern institute in the medical assisting program. My teacher is fantastic and takes the time to explain things to prepare us to be medical assistants. However, I am very disappointed in the financial aid staff and the person who was my mentor for the program Kim. When I started I was told I would go in extern after school but was never told it had to be during the day. I am a night student because I work full time during the day so that's a huge disadvantage for night students who might have to quit there day job or not be able to do an externship. Secondly with financial aid, I have been enrolled six months and have had three financial aid administrators who all save different things about my tuition. I applied for scholarships, fasfa and still being told I will have to pay 18,000 as a single mom, one income, and working full time not mentioning that I do not qualify for government assistance. I was told when I first started I wouldn't have to make payments until six months after I graduated with the first administrator Sarah then I deal with a lady who says she can't find my file then another lady states I need to start making payments asap. These people in financial aid have no idea what's going on and before you enroll get everything in writing when it comes to what your total debt is and what you will be paying and when! At this point I would not recommend this school.

  This is great higher learning institution! The administration, staff, and faculty are extremely talented and supportive. The programs are accelerated for convenience and geared towards graduate success. I am proud to be part of the Southeastern Institute Columbia family.

  Staff is nice a friendly. Speaking for Pharmacy, as a current student (since March) haven't received the education I was looking for. Class consist of worksheets worksheets and more worksheets! No particle training or any real experience in pharmacy. Just worksheets, PowerPoint slides and more worksheets. Previous students have had issues getting an internship and didn't feel prepared to take the state certification exam. I dont feel prepared or feel that this school will be able to prepare anyone for it. Unaccredited. You will not be able to take anything from this school to another institution of higher learning. I tried. Many promises have been made about changing the curriculum and even the staff and yet nothing has changed. School basically here for money purposes. You'd be better off starting in retail pharmacy and work your way up. Many pharmacy's like CVS and Walgreens have their own training they offer. I'd advise anyone and everyone to look into other options before committing to South Eastern Insitute, if pharmacy is the career field you're looking into. Can't speak on massage therapy, medical billing and coding or medical assistance. However If you are wanting to pursue a career as a pharmacy tech. This is not the place for that. Explore other options! All the 5 start review's are from employees. Nice and friendly staff here but speaking as a current student. It's not all what's it's cracked up to be. You're welcome.
