Graduate Student: Peabody's online program is an excellent option for working adults. The class schedule is flexible and the professors understand that the students are working adults- some with kids and families, and they try to accommodate them as best they can. We travel to the campus twice a year for an immersion, and the experience brings us closer as a cohort. It also gives us the opportunity to meet our professors in person.

Graduate Student: This is an excellent program. The program really pushes you and is tough. The program is very time consuming and demanding, but this is what gets you completely prepared for teaching on your own.

Alum: I enjoyed my time at U of M's School of Education. The professors were kind and supportive, and the one-year Master's in Education with a Teaching Certificate program was awesome. The program itself was really time-consuming, but I left well-equipped with knowledge about teaching practices and child psychology. My cohort was small, so accessing teachers was always an option. The student teaching experience was good, as we got to teach in a middle school setting and a high school. The downsides were that my professors' expertise did not always match up with the content of the classes I took. The workload of the program was often unmanageable for me, and I can't imagine how hard it would have been if I had been caring for children, as many of my classmates did. I am glad I went through the program, but it was challenging.

Graduate Student: Overall, it’s pretty good to be a grad student at TU in A&S, but that is changing rapidly. The faculty care about us and the other students do as well, but neither the Board of Trustees nor the President nor the Provost (now acting President) actually care about this particular group of students. They’d honestly rather A&S disappear to make way for “industry jobs”. If your goal is to pursue Psychology, then TU is a solid option. Other degrees housed under A&S? I’d look elsewhere just to be safe.
