I was recommended to a university by a friend who really had no vested interest in whether it met my needs?

Question

for career advancement or not. Can I sue her since the program was inadequate?

Answer 1

Your friend made a recommendation, you did not pay for it. It was up to you to check into it further and determine if the program was what you wanted not what your friend though you wanted.

You made the choice to follow your friends advice,You screwed up, not your friend.
