College Of Charleston • Charleston, SC
Studying Religious Studies (completion in 2008)
• 11/17/2011
"My time at the College of Charleston was the best four years of my life. Dedicated teachers and strong programs provide students with the opportunity to open their minds and pursue their dreams."
Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | no | My major has very little to do with my chosen career. While I would absolutely recommend the College of Charleston to anyone interested in Religious Studies or another major in the Humanities, I would not recommend the College for students interested in business or marketing. My experience with those departments left much to be desired. |
| Program Reputation | 7 | Once a very small major, the Religious Studies program is growing quickly. Many of the professors enjoy a very good reputation. |
| Program Quality | 10 | It is a close-knit department with wonderful professors. Many of the professors in the Religious Studies program are nationally recognized for their scholastic achievements. |
| Instruction | 9 | A liberal arts college, like the College of Charleston, prepares students for life, not just a particular major. However, I wish the College's job placement rates and percentages were a bit better. |
| How Difficult | 9 | Like many of the Humanities departments, Religious Studies required a tremendous amount of reading and writing. Many of my professors were brilliant scholars. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | I experienced a good balance of traditional (book learning) and newer, interactive (hands-on) approaches. Professors from many departments successfully implement such a mix of teaching methods. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 8 | The College offers many evening classes. There are also several options for express and summer classes. |
| Academic Facilities | 8 | The new library was built during my sophomore year. Many classrooms are becoming increasingly technologically equipped. |
| Social Life | 10 | The college has a wonderful student body with great school spirit. College of Charleston is located in the heart of beautiful downtown Charleston and, like the city, has a vibrant social scene. |
| Placement Services | 3 | There is little help offered to graduating seniors. I am unaware of any program designed specifically to help alumni currently without careers. |
| Alumni Network | 4 | There is little-to-no alumni support for many career paths. The College of Charleston's alumni network is still stronger than similar networks at many of the schools I've been exposed to. |
Coastal Carolina • Conway, SC

| Would Recommend? | yes | I learned so much at Coastal. I highly recommend it for anyone wishing to pursue a degree in marketing. |
| Program Reputation | 10 | The school has a great reputation for its business and marketing programs. It has a reputation for getting you employed after graduation. |
| Program Quality | 10 | I rate my school very high. I learned a lot and found employment very easily. |
| Instruction | 10 | I learned a lot and was very prepared after graduating. The quality and relevance were very high. |
| How Difficult | 5 | It wasn't too hard or too easy. When you love what you are doing, it is always easier. |
| Schedule Flexibility | 10 | I was a full-time day student at Coastal. They do have night, summer and online classes. |
| Academic Facilities | 10 | Coastal is a wonderful school with a ton of resources. Whatever you need is made available. |
| Placement Services | I did not use career services. | |
| Alumni Network | 10 | The alumni network support is great. I am always going back to the school for a fun event. |
