Troy Denson
I love the user friendly classroom page. The professors are excellent and very accomplished. I found them all very helpful and knowledgeable. Their tuition rate is lower than average. I would highly recommend this college. Very happy with LSBR.
Tracy
I found this school because of my husband. I had heard they provide a lot of transfer credits. Classes are only around $1500 each and so worth it. I highly recommend this school. I completed the course in only 9 months. That was a big plus. Instructors were very knowledgeable and friendly. Lots of interaction and quick responses when you need help.
Jamie Robinson
Great online program! Very user friendly, the best program I’ve used by far! I would highly recommend London School of Business and Research to anyone looking to take online only classes. I’ve tried other virtual classrooms through different colleges and their format were clunky and difficult to use. Not LSBR. Easy to use, easy to submit assignments, easy to interact with instructor and classmates. Highly recommended.
