Georgetown University

• Graduate School

Graduate Student: The School of Foreign Service has provided me with unparalleled academic and professional opportunities I would not have been provided at any other university given its location and prestige. From interning at the White House, Capitol Hill, and a top consulting firm — all while being a full time student — to its rigorous core curriculum, my program time here has been hands down the zenith of my academic career.

While I was accepted into other top universities, Georgetown SFS was a no brainer, and I’m excited to call myself an SFS alum.

University of Maryland - College Park

• Graduate School
• College Park, MD
• 15

Graduate Student: During my undergraduate period, this university gave me the opportunity to balance priorities related and unrelated to my academics. Because of that opportunity, I was able to build myself through employment, volunteer, and athletic, and organizational efforts. I am able to balance all of my current priorities at this present time because of my undergraduate journey at this university. Besides focusing on more long-term infrastructure goals that will benefit the campus personnel rather than the public image, I have no concerns about how the university should change.

Graduate Student: I love the professors in the Advanced Studies of Teaching and Learning program as they are committed to meeting learners where they are. Of course there are project and writing expectations to follow but in terms of design of a project or being open to individual suggestions-they are the best! This is adult learning after all.

Bowie State University

• Graduate School
• Bowie, MD
• 4

Graduate Student: The professors at Bowie State University care about you as well as your future. They are very attentive to their students and the needs of their students. You build a lot of great relationships at Bowie. I would like to see a little more efficiency and communication in their financial aid department. You don't know if you have aid until school begins almost. Then you're running around like a chicken with your head cut off, trying to find funds to attend school.

University of Maryland - University College

• Graduate School
• Adelphi, MD
• 32

Graduate Student: As an older student that has been out of college for nearly 20 years, I am very impressed with the approach that University of Maryland University College (UMUC) takes to acclimate students to the academic environment. When I was an undergrad, I used a word processor to type my papers and the registration process involved standing in a long line at the registrar's office! Needless to say, I was nervous about how I would adjust to a more technologically advanced college setting. However, my experience at UMUC with selecting my major, enrolling in my classes, and the hybrid class format has made me feel confident and prepared to obtain my Master's degree in Information Technology. Therefore, I highly recommend UMUC, especially to non-traditional students who may be apprehensive about starting or returning to school.

University of the District of Columbia

• Graduate School
• Washington, DC
• 5

Graduate Student: The University of the District of Columbia has an intimate setting affording students the opportunity to be familiar with their classmates and professors. It provides quality education at a reasonable cost. The course work and training that I am receiving at UDC would cost enormous sums at other universities. I like to call it education without sacrificing my financial future. The course work has been very challenging to prepare students for the work place. Our employment center is excellent and supports undergraduates, graduates and alumni. Our professors and president are relatable and are often seen intermingling with the student body.

Graduate Student: This really is a great school however you do need to do your part just like anywhere. I am so happy I found a school that makes online classes feasible to me needs. I got a great education, and a scholarship. They may be very strict with their financial aid however I appreciate it due to the fact this school has never come close to losing their accreditation. Also by the fact their accreditation is much more impressive then other well know online schools like UOP.

Graduate Student: Wesley Theological Seminary is an excellent place to discern your call and to engage with your faith in both public and private devotion. The Chapel provides varied worship experiences an the professors are absolutely top-notch, many being experts in their fields. The area around the seminary is also incredibly beautiful, with AU next door and the AU shuttle providing easy access to the Metro system for free. Dining is provided by an outside catering service that is really top notch, and the new Residence Hall is a wonderful place to stay. There is no place like DC to earn your ordination and no place like Wesley to do it in.
