• Rating 5 out of 5  5 reviews

Master's Student: How will obtaining an advanced degree after 44 years in the workforce help to achieve my lifetime goals? Most people at age 74 would rather choose to sit back and enjoy retirement. Not me! Upon graduation from Albany Law School in 1976, my thoughts and goals included an LLM in Taxation. My legal aid service resulted in my name being placed on the Southern Poverty Law Center Wall of Tolerance in 2004 in recognition of efforts on behalf of Native Americans...So here it is 44 years later and I am doing what is the most enjoyable part of law for me, taxation. Syracuse University welcomed me as a veteran with open arms. In a year and a half, I completed a double major in History and Economics graduating in December 1972 Summa cum Laude. ...Washington University School of Law St. Louis, Missouri has an online program to achieve an LLM in Taxation in one year. The program is online which allows me to complete the coursework without having to move on campus...Read 5 Reviews

• Johns Hopkins University
• Graduate School
• BALTIMORE, MD
• Rating 4.2 out of 5  10 reviews

Master's Student: What I like most about Johns Hopkins University Krieger School of Arts and Sciences is the presence of professionalism and genuine consciousness. Not only are the classes highly interesting and inclusive but also they are conveniently laid out so no matter where you are in the world you can complete your degree on your own time. All the classes are provided asynchronously so no 3:00am wake ups for lecture. Professors are organized and available with plenty of opportunity to connect with fellow students. This is only my first semester but I am feeling very confident in my commitment to Johns Hopkins University Krieger School of Arts and Sciences Advanced Academics Program...Read 10 Reviews

• New York University
• Graduate School
• NEW YORK, NY
• Rating 4.5 out of 5  4 reviews

Master's Student: I have enjoyed much of my experience here at Wagner but I think the cost is incredibly high. The administration seemed to not care much if at all about helping me fund my education. They care more about giving new applicants scholarships to entice them to join the school than helping those students who are already in their program...Read 4 Reviews

Doctoral Student: As an international student, it is quite easy to be feeling left out of social events and parties but generally colleagues are mostly very friendly and open-minded to learn about diverse cultural experiences from other countries. The faculties here are relatively young and prolific in producing works and they are always open to work with grad students whenever students reach out. The overall atmosphere is that grad students and faculties together are eager to make the program better and always cooperating to realize them...Read 2 Reviews
