Current Master's student: My program was in the A. James Clark School of Engineering, my degree being Project Management (MEPM). I was also an undergrad Terp and was happy to return as a grad student! The academics were rigorous and tedious. At times, the online courses felt overwhelming due to the number of videos, readings, assignments, on top of discussion sections. However, I would say I definitely learned something meaningful and impactful that I took away from each and every course. I directly connected with each and every professor as well. The professors there really do want to be teaching and care for the success of their students. I truly loved this school as an undergrad, that I chose to come right back!... Read 98 reviews

Niche User: George Mason University is renowned for its dedication to entrepreneurship and innovation and for having a diverse student body and faculty. It provided me with various tools and chances to support me in achieving academic and professional success, like internships, study abroad opportunities, research projects, and career services. I take classes at George Mason from intelligent professors who are authorities in their subjects. They employ a range of instructional techniques to aid me in learning, including lectures, talks, group projects, and practical exercises. George Mason could consider increasing resources that helped me with support services, such as tutoring, academic advising, and mental health services. The university offered me emerging fields, such as artificial intelligence and data science, to prepare students for the future job market. Additionally, this college increases the diversity of its faculty, and student body, promotes inclusivity and broadens perspectives.... Read 125 reviews

Other: I was recently accepted to Howard University’s PA school and will start classes in August. My experience so far at the university has been pleasant. I'm excited to attend a university known to help foster students to become leaders in their fields. My experience with the faculty during my interview was better than expected. They made a stressful experience turn into a welcoming environment. Coming from a smaller city, I think it will take some time to get used to driving and navigating the city. The traffic in the area can be overwhelming at times. Luckily, there are other modes of transportation readily available. The limited graduate housing also presents a challenge. Renting an apartment in DC is extremely expensive. This may cause me to live further away from the school in an area where I can afford to. Altogether, I believe that knowledgeable, personable, and experienced faculty will help me to become a competent, empathic, and passionate PA. I look forward to starting in Aug... Read 42 reviews

Master's Student: During a pandemic, I was worried that school would be lacking resources or that the classes would suffer. This was not the case with Catholic University! My classes were even more helpful and amazing than I could ever imagine! The teachers were ready and able to teach in a virtual setting! In every class I was provided with large amounts of resources and support! The class work was always useful towards my future! The homework and other projects always allows me to dust off my creative muscles and open my eyes to other forms of learning and teaching! I am more prepared not only for more class work but for more professional opportunities! I am ready and excited to face other academic and professional obstacles because the tools I have been given so far in all my classes! Each semester is a new adventure full of chances to learn! I never feel my times is wasted! Every minute is useful and so very exciting! Catholic University of America makes learning easy, super fun, and so wonderful!... Read 37 reviews

Master's Student: Despite these challenges, my time at Bowie State has also been characterized by resilience and growth. These experiences provided me with a deeper understanding of the importance of inclusivity, empathy, and understanding in creating a supportive environment for all students, regardless of their racial or ethnic backgrounds or their previous life experiences. These experiences have further shaped my commitment to advocating for more comprehensive support for veteran students and fostering inclusivity within the academic community. As I move forward in my career in healthcare, I will use these experiences as motivation to ensure that the needs of all patients, particularly those from marginalized or underserved communities, are met with empathy, understanding, and respect....

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+.... Read 19 reviews

Master's Student: I really liked the one on one help that was available to students. Capitol is a very small school. I think the largest class I was in had 20 students at most. As such, it was very easy to reach out to professors. I think the worst part of my experience at Capitol was during the pandemic, as there was a very sudden and last minute shift in schedule and assignments for nearly every single class I was in....
