Master's Student: No complaints what so ever! My experience, even during our recent pandemic, has been nothing short of great. The educational services and systems the school offer is great. Moreover, the school also offers child swim lessons which is great for me as I have two kids of my own.

Graduate School
College Park, MD

Master's Student: I loved it there, I commuted to the school every day of the week, and did work part time while I was there, so I was not able to participate in many clubs. But the department of art was very helpful towards academics, participation in gallery shows, and art opportunities outside of school! My professors, TA's, and advisors were always on board and made classes enjoyable.

Master's Student: I am currently pursuing an online graduate program. The program is very convenient. You can study at your own pace with most assignments due on Sundays. The professors are very knowledgeable in their respected disciplines and they are easy to reach out via email or phone call if requested within 48 hours. An academic advisor is assigned to you to ensure your success in the program; he or she will help you register for classes that suit your needs and preferences, and provide you tools/tips that will aid in your coursework. The application process was fairly easy. An application advisor is dedicated to ensure your documents and essays are submitted in a timely manner. The graduate program provides a board for teachers and students; individuals can post job opportunities/fairs, internships, scholarship info, applications to various societies and organizations, and many other helpful things that will help individuals reach closer to their goals.

American University

Master's Student: 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.

Niche User: I recently finished my first semester at George Mason University and unfortunately, due to Covid-19, I wasn’t able to attend in person. My remote learning experience was wonderful and most of my professors were helpful and patient. I look forward to the upcoming semester!

Howard University
Graduate School
Washington, DC
20 reviews
Master's Student: Howard is a great school with great professors. I like the professionalism that staff has, the location, the classes, and amount of activities for students. I like the fact that there are not too many students in the class. Thus, there is a bigger chance to have a closer relationship with the professor. This has helped me not only to be closer with the professor, but also to understand better.Their management is good, but I would like to see a little change. For example, more clarity with classes schedule and organization in overall.

Gallaudet University
Graduate School
Washington, DC
25 reviews
Master's Student: I like Gallaudet because of the direct communication offered to deaf students. Based on my experience, Gallaudet professors, staffs and deaf people teach me about Deaf culture, Deaf community, and they show me a lot about the resources that they offer for Deaf people. What would I see any better for Gallaudet, I would like to see the DC community get involve to Gallaudet university, so we will see more diverse communities, share our knowledge of Deaf culture that DC community will probably work together as a collaboration.

Marymount University
Graduate School
Arlington, VA
17 reviews
Master's Student: Marymount has a great community and a world-class education. It's a wonderful opportunity and personally, a convenient location for me. The professors are extremely supportive, especially during this pandemic while we have had to move to online learning. The administration moved quickly to give us options through Zoom and other online platforms. I would say the only thing that could be improved is to provide more options for financial relief, given that we don't have access to a lot of the things that we pay for in tuition, such as libraries and other facilities.

Alum: I loved the time I spent at Bowie state as an undergrad. Bowie has shown me how much growth and determination I actually had as being a young adult and away from home for the first time. From the advisors in my course of study, to the administration in financial aid, they all have helped me develop as a young woman going into the working world.

University of Maryland - Global Campus
Graduate School
Adelphi, MD

Master's Student: I was able to complete an undergraduate degree while working full-time! When I first began studying online with UMGC, the class schedule did not mesh well with my work schedule. However, UMGC administrators took into account the feedback from students and were able to change the class schedules which helped me further succeed. I am not currently pursuing a graduate degree with UMGC and I would recommend it to anyone looking to gain further education while dealing with life's complexities.

University of the District of Columbia
Graduate School
Washington, DC
8 reviews
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.

Junior: I decided to return to school after 12 years of receiving my associates degree. I was nervous about online school. The Stafford campus was very welcoming to me. The staff made me believe I can do anything with their help. They were encouraging, helpful, patience, and kind towards me. Told me they will assist me with logging in, writing the proper papers, and research. They have came through each time I needed assistance. I've completed one semester thus far and I am passing with an A+.

Wesley Theological Seminary

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.
