Business ProfileforHussian College, Inc.

Hussian College has canceled programs and forcibly withdrawn all of its VFX students with seemingly no intention to refund or drop student loans, despite explicitly stating within their student catalog that they will provide full refunds if the college were to cancel a program. Here's my experience so far: I intended to enroll for CGSpectrum's Game Design program, and through their partnership was funneled into Hussian College. Not only has Hussian been dishonest with their school's finances and future plans for students, they also charged over 3x the price of CGSpectrum's original program cost. As of 6/17/23, a game design class of 12 months from CGSpectrum ending with a certification is $7,999.00. As of 3/29/2023, a game design class of 16 months from Hussian College Powered by CGSpectrum ending with a diploma was $26,664.00. As someone who stated that they were not interested in student loans and would pay cash, I take issue with Hussian presenting CGSpectrum's course and Hussian's partnered course being the same despite the massive price difference. While I was enrolled, I quite enjoyed the curriculum thanks to CGSpectrum and a good mentor. I was on the 9th week of my first term when I received an email on Memorial Day evening from the new CEO, Joshua Figuli. He enacted an unplanned 2 week break for all students of Hussian College. For the next two weeks I called, texted, and emailed staff, trying to get more information about when classes would start back up. I received no response to these questions. On June 9th, 3 days before classes were supposed to resume, I was sent an email requesting what would have made my sum total of payments half of the full tuition, even though I had not made it even 1/4 of the way through their course. Two days later, I received an email notifying VFX students of the program closure. Two days later we were forcibly withdrawn. I have called and emailed staff requesting the refund they promised. They are unlikely to ever respond.
