http://www.viewpoints.com/Graduate-Schools Mon, 02 Jun 2008 18:29:53 GMT Reviews about Graduate Schools http://www.viewpoints.com/Grand-Canyon-University--153413-review-51346 Grand Canyon's Education Graduate Program has succeed all of my expectations. I was very worried of being disappointed when I first started, but I picked this program for several reasons: 1. The program was ALL ONLINE! 2. Tuition was cheaper when compared to other graduate programs. 3. I could finish in 12-16 months. 4. The program was relative to my job. After starting off slow, one class at a time, I became very comfortable working with my professors and peers through our online community. The topics being studied were taught by experienced and very knowledgable professionals, who wanted nothing else but for us to be successful in our teaching jobs. The subjects studied are very relevant to my job, and I can take my newly learned material and immediately apply it to my job. Financial issues were a problem at first, but the college's business department will work with you and either assisst you with financial aid, or will set up a payment plan with you for a one time minimal fee. I... Mon, 02 Jun 2008 18:29:53 GMT http://www.viewpoints.com/Grand-Canyon-University--153413-review-51346 coangel57 5 http://www.viewpoints.com/University-of-Phoenix-HI-review-4b142 ...

I went there for my undergraduate degree and graduate in 2004. And now I have just returned to start my Master's Degree. They offer a wide variety of programs and extracurricular activities for both college age and adult students. Great students...great professors...beautiful campus! — Everything you could want and more! —...

When I applied to be an undergraduate, naturally, i applied to NYU. However, i was sadly rejected and hope that next time for graduate i am not. New York is huge and expensive, but I believe New York University provides their students with sufficient resources to make them...

I want to know what they have to offer, how well the students like it there, and how much it costs.  Other important factors are student life and tuition costs.  Whenever I get a chance I speak to many friends and colleagues about where they went to school, as well as visit schools on many of my vacations.  After all, I don't want to lose my "touch."  — The University of North Carolina-Greensboro is located in Greensboro, North Carolina.   It awards Bachelor's of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Masters of Arts, Masters of Science, Masters of Fine Arts, Master's in Education, Master's in Public Administration, and PhD's degrees.  It offers approximately 50 undergraduate programs from Anthropology to Women's Studies and many...

This university grew out of William and Mary to establish another way of learning. ODU is a leader in the non-traditional method of education. Even in the far-off reaches of Arizona, Georgia and ships-at-sea, ODU is there via direct link or videostreaming. Program coursework can be taken, or completed, off site simply by sitting at a computer or in front of a linked TV, and watching the class in "real time" or on tape as it happened on the ODU campus. Off-site students get the same tests as the students sitting in class. Everything is the same, except some students are elsewhere. — — Should you try this? A 3-year experience left me saying, YES! if you are mature, committed to finishing your degree and don't mind classes with few people to interact with (the class may be just you interacting with the professor via computer/microphone). If you are the type who still likes to have fun and expects...

That gives you a lot of opportunities that you won't have at other schools, such as access to great speakers, conferences and events. In part because of this, NYU has a great reputation that has noticeably improved over the last several years. However, be prepared to pay for these opportunities as NYU certainly is not cheap. Moreover, student support services, particularly IT is notably lacking and you might be frustrated by how "un-automated" seemingly routine functions are. If you're planning on going into a specialized field that NYU has a strong reputation in, definitely put this school on your short list, but if you're not entirely sure what you want do yet, or if it's not a program in which NYU really excels, save your money and go to a public...

Bachelor's Degrees are still highly sought out and, depending on the field of study, they are sometimes all that is necessary to establish a fulfilling career. But for some, a Bachelor's Degree is only the beginning and admission to Graduate School is not only a lucrative investment, it is also essential for career and/or competitive reasons. — For those in the field of business, a Bachelor's Degree is often sufficient for career advancement. However, as competition for high- level employment becomes more and more fierce, the value of a Graduate Degree continues to grow and many undergraduates now consider Graduate School a necessary step in career fulfillment. — Once the student's mind is made up and Graduate School is a certainty, it is time to decide where to enroll. Thousands of options exist, and there is a program to satisfy most any student's needs. But for the academically advanced and highly...

Oh, and free beads during mardi gras in the student center. Woohoo! — The one good thing, though, was that my department chair recommended me for an internship at a publishing company that eventually gave me a scholarship. So I did feel that someone in NYU went out of their way for me. —...

That's it's biggest charm and biggest failing. Parking is such a nightmare that classes can be 1/2 hr late while you try to find a spot. Also the student staff in Neuberger hall is not at all friendly. Apparently english is the third language for most of these folks and they looks at you like you're from another planet everytime you try to register or submit any sort of official paperwork. The professors for the Electrical Engineering dept are very competent and helpful  as are the MBA professors - PSU has a reputation for liberal arts majors, not for engineering/MBA's but the potential is definitnely...

I really don't think there is any reason to pay the money for it unless you come for a degree from Tisch or are in the law school. NYU's academic programs are okay, but not worth the price tag. You can get the same or better service elsewhere in New York City.  It is a fun place to be though, and if you don't care about money and/or have a lot of it, you'll fit right in with the prissy rich kids who...

The people are very friendly and helpful. The work is challenaging but very rewarding.

I was a student athlete, which definently made it more enjoyable for me. The school has made a lot of improvements since I left and they're also getting a football team. The school has a variety of classes and is very diverse. The one thing I didn't like too much was it was more of a commuter school, I like the college town feel, but it was still a cool place to live. There was a lot to do and your only about 15 minutes from the...

If you are looking for a very flexible program and school you should consider this. If you have the heart to dedicate to society and trying to make it better yet not looking to make very much money this is the kind of program and school you are looking for. — They offer so many programs with so many times that a person is able to work and have multiple life obligations yet be able to complete a program successfully. I definitely recommend this program since they offer a true overall social work experience where you will be exposed to various aspects of the field and you will also gain hands on experience. —...

Each class is designed to be informative yet practical. Much time is spent in the school library developing lessons, analyzing collections, and generally getting a good feel for what the position will be like. The professors are both challenging and caring, a hard combination to find. A person can't go wrong if pursuing a Master's of LIbrary Science degree by choosing the University of Northern Iowa. —...
