George Washington University Reviews
Rating 4.36 out of 5 130 reviews
Like any graduate-level program, it requires the candidate to read and write... a lot! The coursework is more extensive and very detailed compared to any undergraduate programs. Critical thinking is necessary and professors still require interaction with classmates even if it is online (via discussion boards or virtual meetings). The classes that one takes all relate to each other and to innovative topics and real-life applications to your discipline. Concepts that you learn in a previous course can be used to help you succeed in a future class. It's nice to read an article online or in the newspaper on a subject matter that you learned during the semester and relate it to your classmates; it feels encouraging and provides more drive for you to reach closer to your career goals.
I chose to attend George Washington University because of their flexible online masters program, reputable school reputation, and engaging curriculum. The admissions counselor assigned to me was highly interactive and further attracted me to their masters of engineering program. I have had a great experience thus far in the courses I am enrolled in. The only thing I would change about George Washington University is that they need to update the gweb platform as it is a bit confusing and compromised of too many general school web page links.
*Probably 2.5 stars if Niche did half stars* My experience at GW has been highly mediocre. While there are certainly benefits to the location of the campus, there is no cohesion, and there are very few common spaces. I found the professors to be relatively kind, but, ultimately, their classes were uninteresting because they lacked work experience. There are some intelligent students in the program but, the majority seem withdrawn and uninterested in the material. I think the school's reputation, on the whole, is based on their athletics and engineering department which are great but, if you're debating a degree in Politics or International Affairs, the departments are lacking.
