Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | maybe | It was a nice school. The Political Science Department is highly regarded. They offer internships to compliment their classroom offerings. The social aspects of the school might be off-putting to some. |
| Program Reputation | 10 | The Political Science program is highly regarded in the state of Maryland. Many of the instructors political officials in Maryland. |
| Program Quality | 10 | The Political Science program at Frostburg State employees highly qualified and well trained instructors. It is highly regarded in the state of Maryland. |
| Instruction | 8 | For the most part, instruction was good. Some of the instructors had personal issues that prevented them from truly helping their students. |
| How Difficult | 7 | I found the academic challenge and work load to be about average. Extra credit was available if you asked for it. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | I found the program to be rather book learning oriented. They did offer some internships, though. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 5 | Having graduated in 1977, I can not speak on the current condition of the school's class schedule flexibility. When I attended Frostburg, they did offer weekend, evening, and summer classes. |
| Academic Facilities | 10 | I recall there being a huge, new library. Tutors were provided when requested. The classrooms were adequate. The professors made themselves available after class for discussions. |
| Social Life | 7 | There was a very segregated lifestyle. This bled, unpleasantly, into all parts of the social experience. |
| Placement Services | 6 | I have not benefited from any of their job placement programs. I also have not received any career assistance from them. |
| Alumni Network | 4 | The alumni network has not kept in touch with me. They provided some report back in the seventies, but I haven't heard anything from them since then. |
