California State University - Fullerton Reviews

"I had many great professors, a unique opportunity to study abroad and an overall very satisfying and fulfilling college experience."

"The History department at California State University Fullerton is an incredibly tight-knit and compassionate department filled with the most brilliant professors and passionate students, there is absolutely nowhere else I would study history. The only cons I could find are a lack of computer availability on campus and the difficulty with campus parking. I have no complaints about the department or graduate program thus far."

"Due to being a graduate program that only meets once or twice a week in the evenings, there is a lack of support from office personnel and consistency from the faculty. I think that course such as Fieldwork will be best if one professor can be assigned to it for the duration of the program (6months) for better support and consistency."

"The professors in the History Department are helpful and push theirs student so succeed. Would have gone back for grad school if I didn't get such a great offer from other school out of state. Although the student life on campus is not the most exciting there are lots of things to do on campus like bowling and pool. Plus there is a bar! And the baseball team is always exciting to watch."

"I've enjoyed campus so for. Only challenge is traffic getting to campus and parking. This is a commuter college but also has plenty of rentals near campus."

"I'm currently enrolled in the MFA program with emphasis in Exhibition and Design. My experience in this program has been amazing and I recommend it to anyone seeking a MFA that gives you a lot of hands on experience and access to a very supportive staff. Also my cohort has been invaluable in developing my education and career goals."

"The professors are great. I feel that the education is very valuable because of the value of the content covered. The school has some problems with WIFI and other technology issues. Class availability for the MBA concentration courses was a small issue. The counseling department is no better than any other school I have attended, but no worse. There are a lot of international students, which makes it difficult when doing group work (because of the language barrier). The campus is safe but the city has some safety problems. I have never experienced a safety issue personally but I have heard of many. The coursework is manageable and seems challenging to the right level. I am overall satisfied with choosing Cal State Fullerton to do my MBA."

"I think the program has great professors but limited resources for them to help educate the students. The school has a great reputation around Southern California but is not well known nationally."

"One of the biggest pros of the program is the accessibility to professors. If you have any questions at all about the course material or want to get involved in research, professors are there to support your academic curiosity. Another pro of the program is the integration of statistical software use with econometric theories we learn in class. We can apply theories learned in the class room to analyze data econometrically using school computers that have STATA or Eviews. One con of the program is the lack of solidarity students have with each other. Students come to school, go to class, and leave to go back home to full-time jobs and already existing friends and family in their own cities. This is very much a commuter school, and there is not much social cohesion among students in the program."

"The best part of the Counseling program is the faculty and staff. They are totally invested in the student and love to check in. The classes are interesting and challenging. You know you are getting the best education possible and being prepared to be a Marriage and Family Therapist or Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. The school is CACREP accredited as well as BSS accredited. Not many other schools in this area can say that! Only down side is the awful parking. There are too many students and not enough spaces!"

"Pro: Interesting. Con: Little Networking, Career Guidance, Real World Applications."

"Pros: - Cohort system - Faculty are really supportive and well known - Set track for the next two years - Graduate assistantship program - Diversity and social justice is a priority - Financial aid package is nice for people from California Con: - Limited spots in the program - Set track"

"I have been attending Cal State Fullerton ever since I was a junior in my undergraduate program. I love the school and the professors are friendly and great. I love the diversity on campus and the all the helpful resources available to students."

"I feel the pro of my graduate program is the faculty. All of the faculty in this program are experts in this field. The amount of knowledge they have and applied gives us great insight to what it takes. The faculty cares about me and my educational goals."

"This program does not promote diversity at all."

"This program is very accessible and affordable, definitely worth it for a Masters degree. Many professors are amazing, and internships are at wonderful places and are a great way to learn."

"The Kineisology graduate program at Fullerton in my opinion is one of the best. For one the entire graduate department faculty is very helpful. Once I had recieved my Bachelors Degree from Fullerton they were very supportive in pushing me to apply for the Masters Program. They help guide you to your career path. They enjoy teaching and helping all the students. They encourage you to follow your dreams and that nothing is too small. I think with this degree there are huge ups and downs and it very easy to get discouraged, but when you have excellent support from your professors its easy to get back up on your feet. Our strength lab is the strength center of the West. There are not many schools where they have actually labs like our school. I have heard from many that the stuff we do at Fullerton, you won't see at other Kinesiology department. The professor also emphazise how important it is to network with the others in our graduate department. They also tell us how important it is to be really active with the program so we get the most out of it. I do not have very many cons for attending this school. Most of them would be with the issues of parking. As grad students I don't think we are at school as often as an undergrad student. Something should be done about the parking passes. Parking passes at my school cost more than my books alone. I think if I had done my undergrad at a different school before attending Fullerton for my Masters I would have more cons."

"One of the best graduate programs for the major. Excellent professors and quality classes."

"Pre-Health classes are good -- affordable and will prep me for medical school"

" This program is fantastic! The faculty is professional, diverse, and very helpful in assisting its students with their own professional development. All faculty members are easily accessible and know their students on a personal basis. The courses available, as well as the various concentrations make for this program to stand out above the other surrounding college MSW programs. Cons: The graduating class of 2015 is larger than anticipated, which made many unnecessary challenges for the faculty members in the MSW program. The ratio of instructors to students was too high from the beginning and the program wasn't prepared for this growth. I am certain that the faculty will be able to learn from their mistakes, but it was hard being the "guinea pig" cohort because quite a few students were left without internships for quite the duration of the school year, yet these persons were able to complete alternative assignments to account for the program's mistakes."
