Howard University Reviews

"Strong program with large alumni base and solid reputation."

"The religious studies program at Howard University definitely has more pros then cons. To begin, the faculty within the school of Divinity are extremely, professional, educated, and scholarly. It feels great to have Ivy league professors teaching me for only half of the price. The quality of the education is absolutely the best aspect about my graduate program. The cons would definitely deal with financial aid and scholarships. The school is very bad with processing aid correctly and on time, and my program does not offer many scholarships for students that excel academically like myself.Read Less"

"Pros: Other dental students and being accepted over thousands of applications Cons: unsafe area and crazy amount of school work"

"I am very honored to be a Howard University student. The pros of my graduate program include great faculty support as well as various research opportunities."

"Aside from the fees that coincide with an education from this program, the only real downfall about the program is that students who want to start in the spring have to start as part-time students. Afterwards, however, the student can switch over to full-time. This is a really great school. The curriculum is inclusive of all people and the students learn how to work with anybody who comes their way."

"Overall, I have had a great experience at Howard University. The pros outweigh the cons."

"It's really hard to move to a place with a higher cost of living to further your education. There are not many options to assist with covering this cost. However, the school environment is very friendly and covers the point of putting education first in a secure environment. Although the school has many changes to make in upgrading its programs, overall, you will attain the education you seek."

"Administration has its flaws, but there is no law school network superior to that of HUSL."

"I think the professors are great and take time to get to know you as a person. The negative is the administration is slow and un caring."

"Pros: There is a cohesive student network that exist within my department. Everybody knows one another by name. We help one another through the trials and tribulations of grad lift. In addition, we are very involved in assimilating new students into the program, so they do not become lost in the ebbs and flows of the Howard experience Cons: It is very difficult to get assistance from faculty to help mitigate the experience of the program. Financial Aid office is horrendous! Most of the representatives are rude and uncooperative. They lose paperwork. And my financial aid never distributed correctly. In Howard, you have to be prepared to do everything on your own. There isn't much support. If you are not on top of things, it is very likely that your college experience will be much more difficult than it will be initially.Read Less"

"Overall, the program is filled with good professors who are willing to help and guide you, however, the program is beginning to lack stability seeing as though many professors are retiring and the department is still has filled positions for next semester. The school in general caters to it Ph.D students in terms of funding. As a Masters student with a 4.0 GPA, I have had the hardest time trying to get some sort of financial assistance from the school/department."

"Students are very helpful of one another in and out of the classroom as well as the faculty. Howard is expensive, but it was worth the experience."

"Howard is a great university to set you up for your next career move, if you can get passed the administrative challenges that you would be presented with."

"The relationship between faculty and students is amazing. It feels like a family."

"Pros - Small size of program allows for personal attention from admin and professors, as well as knowing ALL classmates personally - Great resources for career development and job placement"

"The pros of this school are its legacy and the different majors and educational programs offered. The cons are with the administration and the support for students. There is also the lack of financial aid provided with the increasing tuition, room and board, etc."

"The best part of the program is that it allows a quality education online. The con is that the program is online and I am a visual learner"

"As a occupational therapy student at Howard University, I am pleased with my decision to relocate to the DMV area for my graduate studies. The diversity of the area, as well as the program itself, allows my horizons to be broadened trifold. The amount of work is typical for a graduate program; the disorganization of the courses and professors sometimes gets frustrating, but overall, the school is a great place to be."

"The Howard University School of Social Work is overall a good program that is staffed with faculty that are currently working in the field. The faculty is easily accessible to students and the workload varies from fairly extensive to rigourous depending on the course taken. The one thing I would change about the program is for them to offer a Mezzo prgram in addition to the Macro and Micro programs."

"The pros of the Master of Music Education program are different classes that will enhance me for what I wish to do with my Masters. The cons are the selection of courses that are offered in the School of Education which do not really help those of us in the arts."
