Student reviews

Professors

Current Student

Honestly, I currently attend Fortis on the Westerville campus and I would say save you time to be honest. My advisor Lied about my program ( I applied for Medical Assisting with Xray but only got medical assisting) later found out the program was cancelled that's why I was placed into medical assisting.

Campus and vibes

Current Student

Save yourself the trouble and go to a college that’s accredited. Fortis staff will say whatever they can to get you enrolled and to sign documents. Beware, most staff knows little to nothing of how things work. They falsified my documents for financial aid. I’m glad I found out early on while I still had time to get out.

Cost and value

Student

A lot of the students here only end up back here or stuck here, because little to no schools will accepts fortis credits. If a school does accept them, just know, you’ll be paying and arm and leg for that school too. Go to Central Ohio Technical College or Columbus State for Nursing. It’s much cheaper, and you won’t have to go into debt, plus, you’ll have options to better job opportunities. Most don’t like to hire Fortis graduates because they know the type of education you’re getting here. Very low grade quality on the teaching.
