• 12/16/2011
"I think I received a great education and I know that I learned a lot! I would recommend anyone to attend!"
Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | yes | Great social atmosphere (from what I could tell). Great academics (great faculty, staff, technology, etc.). |
| Program Reputation | 10 | The accounting program is one of the best. Although it's fairly new, it is amazing. |
| Program Quality | 10 | They provided an exceptional career placement program. Class sizes were small which facilitated professor/student relationships. |
| Instruction | 10 | Professors explained all material clearly and concisely. Professors were genuinely concerned about your progress. |
| How Difficult | 10 | Although professors were always very good about answering questions and helping, they gave lots of homework. Tests were always difficult, there was no such thing as an easy class. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | There was a mix of learning strategies. All worked great and kept things interesting. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 5 | The Master's program was pretty small, so there wasn't a lot of flexibility. It is not a program for someone trying to work full time and go to school. |
| Academic Facilities | 10 | Great facilities! Nice, clean, and really helped facilitate learning. |
| Social Life | 5 | I studied most of the time because classes were very demanding. I did not get my undergraduate degree here, so I didn't know many people to socialize with. |
| Placement Services | 10 | The public actively participates in the job boards which provides many opportunities for students. Career fairs and on campus interviews are conducted regularly. |
| Alumni Network | 5 | There were always many alumni supporting the school. The college provides numerous programs and services to keep the alumni involved. |
