Rowan University • Glassboro, NJ
Studying Art Education (completion in 2011)
• 10/20/2011
"I enjoyed attending my school. I had a good relationship with professors and other students. The campus was large enough to meet a diverse group of people, yet small enough to be close with peers. Professors were helpful and knowledgeable."

| Would Recommend? | yes | The education program at my school was outstanding. The art program was taught by working artists. I felt prepared to enter the workforce after I was finished with school. |
| Program Reputation | 7 | My college had a reputation for being a great school for future teachers, and had an amazing education program with a high enrollment. However, the art department was lacking compared to other schools. |
| Program Quality | 8 | Rowan University was a great school for education. Professors were knowledgeable and helpful. I received a lot of in-classroom experience, which helped greatly when I started working. |
| Instruction | 7 | Most professors were good at implementing a relevant curriculum and taught me things I needed to know to teach. However, nothing prepares you for becoming a teacher better than experiencing a classroom yourself. |
| How Difficult | 8 | Becoming a secondary education major at my school required that you chose a double major. I had a large workload mastering both art and education. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | Both of my programs involved a lot of book learning at first. Once knowledge was gained, we did hands on practice. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 8 | Most classes ran several times a week. Classes were offered at various times during the day and at night. Classes were also offered during winter break, during summer, and online. No classes were offered during the weekend. |
| Academic Facilities | 7 | The art building was physically constructed poorly and was leaky. Art professors were very close and open to students. Education professors were also close and open. Buildings were physically open late, and opened early, so work could be done during any hours needed. |
| Social Life | 8 | Parties and social activities were very enjoyable. The school offered weekend activities for students who were not interested in attending parties. Athletics were lacking. |
| Placement Services | 6 | Professors helped me to find jobs and recommended me at various schools. The career placement center was not as helpful as I would have liked. |
| Alumni Network | 5 | The school helped with job placement, and I felt comfortable asking professors to help with job applications and placements. However, there are not many opportunities for alumni to get together through the school. Meeting with other classmates has to be done on your own accord. |
