Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | yes | The program is growing, they are bringing in new teachers and have a few professors working on research. They also hire students to help with there research also. Many of the professors are published, which also helped me get published. |
| Program Reputation | 5 | It was a small program that is growing. They are doing more and more research, which is good to see. |
| Program Quality | 9 | I loved USU, it was a great experience e and I grew a lot. My professors were also great and I hope to learn more from them. |
| Instruction | 5 | My major mainly helped me to be a well rounded person with effective communication tools. These tools have helped me greatly in my marriage. |
| How Difficult | 7 | Studying was always hard for me; I had to study double of what other had to so that I would do average on tests. I enjoyed the challenge that I was able to overcome. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | A good mix; I had a great professor who required us to go out and do a research project, which helped me fully understand the importance of my degree. One teacher was strictly hands-on and didn't even read her own book. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 6 | Since my program was smaller they did have summer courses but no online courses. One evening class and no weekend classes so it was not super flexible. |
| Academic Facilities | 5 | Many of the classes we were in were older but electronically undated. Many of the teachers were old-fashion when it came to technology which was frustrating at times. |
| Social Life | 10 | Aggies basketball - loved it! Great student spirit and amazing cheering section. It helped me feel like I was apart of something bigger. |
| Placement Services | 5 | They were willing to help with ideas of how they could help which was nice. The personal working there were outgoing and willing to help. |
| Alumni Network | 10 | I have received personal phone calls asking for help on special projects. |
