Studying Humanities (completion in 1994)

"It was the only night program where I could study humanities, rather than business admin or accounting and the like. I got a prestigious degree with a basic foundation in humanities."

Ratings are on a 1-10 scale

Characteristic	Rating	Comment
Would Recommend?	no	I feel like a well-rounded person and have confidence at my office, but the high time and money investment is not for the average student.
Program Reputation	5	It was night school, which was kind of looked down on by other students in the school. It's true we were not trained as rigorously.
Program Quality	8	Excellent professors, but not very rigorous study load. Professors did not require a high level of writing skill for entry, so a fair amount of classmates could not do the paper writing required.
Instruction	7	I learned a lot of basic material I had missed in high school. There were excellent discussions led in class by our professors. I wanted more complete reading lists for each class, though.
How Difficult	7	Too lax on writing standards for paper acceptance. Reading load was acceptable for college work...we were kept busy and the material required was crucial.
Hands-On vs. Bookish		This was a traditional, classics-based program, so it was really not possible to have "hands on" work. It's exactly what I wanted.
Schedule Flexibility	3	It was a small program, so there were not a lot of choices each semester. Summer programs were too short to accomplish enough. No online programs (which I approve of; I don't believe in online education).
Academic Facilities	8	Very good library and media resources. Fair reading lists. Lots of opportunities to talk to professors and department advisors.
Social Life	2	We were night students, so we had no time or energy for extracurricular contacts.
Placement Services	1	There was no placement help at all.
Alumni Network	10	We have a very active alumni network with activities of all kinds. There is exceptional attention paid to new alumni.
