| Would Recommend? | yes | This school is great for up and coming teachers. It will train and prepare you for the exciting career of teaching elementary school students! |
| Program Reputation | 7 | The history program is fairly well received by new students. There could be more of an emphasis on how to use a history degree once it is obtained. |
| Program Quality | 8 | My school did a pretty good job of preparing me in my major. A few professors could have been better, but they were mostly very good. |
| Instruction | 7 | I wasn't as prepared for my profession as I would have liked. My professors did do a good job of filling my mind with information, though. |
| How Difficult | 5 | My program was fairly easy. The tests and classwork in most courses were very easily completed. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | There is a heavy emphasis on reading. Books and book reports are going to be most of the homework and projects that you do there. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 10 | There are many options when choosing which classes to take. There are many options to fit your schedule to your desires. |
| Academic Facilities | 9 | There was always a helpful facility or resource available if I needed it. Professors were very accessible and advisors and support staff were always willing to help. |
| Social Life | 5 | I participated in the band and Baptist Student Union and made many friends through those organizations. I did not, however, take part in the Greek system, even though it is very extensive there. |
| Placement Services | 6 | It wasn't very helpful to me after graduation. There isn't enough communication between the career assistants and students. |
| Alumni Network | 7 | There is a great alumni association that does many activities. There are too few members, so it isn't as effective as it could be. |
