Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | no | A more specialized school would have been better. A business major would have given me an advantage. |
| Program Reputation | 5 | It is not a premier major at the school. The school does not carry much clout. |
| Program Quality | 6 | The degree was geared more toward professional writers. The background and skills learned are valuable when writing reports. |
| Instruction | 5 | The courses were adequate to meet the needs of this job. Some business courses would have been beneficial. |
| How Difficult | 5 | It was not very demanding, but quite time consuming. A variety of courses were available. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | It was almost entirely academic. There was not much emphasis on real-world applications. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 4 | There are many courses available, with a variety of times. Higher level courses were harder to schedule. |
| Academic Facilities | 3 | Many buildings are dated, but adequate. Some new construction has taken place. |
| Social Life | 5 | There are no dorms, so there is not much student life. Most students live with their parents. |
| Placement Services | 4 | The job placement services were not much more than a list of openings. Most people do not require this service. |
| Alumni Network | 3 | There isn't really a network. I receive occasional letters asking for donations. |
