American University Reviews
Rating 4.58 out of 5 83 reviews
American University is one of THE schools to be at for International Relations and I can most definitely see why. As students, we have access to renowned SIS faculty known for their contributions to IR, a school located within the IR hub of DC, and a large and boastful network of alumni who have done some great things in the IR field. The coursework is great too! Overall, I highly recommend American University for graduate school.
The MS of Nutrition Education program has been both rewarding and challenging. With amazing professors, an engaging community, and lifetime network with alums, I’ve never been more proud to receive a degree from an educational institution.
Focusing my studies on nutrition education has rearranged my future, however, future opportunities are endless with this degree. Receiving advice and communicating with professors and advisors daily, should give you a sense of reassurance. You are not another number at American University.

I am an online graduate student in the Master of Public Administration and Policy (MPAP) program. The program is truly fantastic in a lot of ways; the online class software is robust, there are small cohorts so you get to personally know your classmates despite being in an online program, a lot of the students reside in DC like myself so it was easy to have in-person connection, and so on. My one critique is that professors in this program are part-time and mostly use their doctorates for industry work. This is okay, but it does leave some professors a little less engaged than I would expect from a traditional graduate school instructor. There is also a merit scholarship for students. The program has rolling admission and is a full-time, two-year program. It is structured so you take condensed 8-week classes back to back instead of a traditional semester schedule, and you don't have a summer break. I have personally found this a little challenging. Overall it's been a good experience.
