"I have been in the education field since graduating and feel that I was prepared very well. I know skills and technology related to my job that most other teachers were not trained in when they were in college. I think all my teachers knew their subject well and taught with enthusiasm especially the teachers in the college of education."

"It's a great school. Although it has expanded quite a lot, it has still maintained a great homey and welcoming feeling."

"My experience at KSU is by far my best college experience. They have given me practical knowledge that has enhanced my abilities in the classroom. They have pushed me out of my comfort zone and forced me to excel in the class. I truly believe that with the knowledge I have gained from KSU, I will be a better educator and leader."

"I attended KSU for my entire college career, changing majors three times and picking up a minor. I found that the easiest parts were the middle years-- getting through the classes you need to get through. The campus is wonderful, the staff is helpful for the most part. Unfortunately, getting in and getting out are the hardest parts. You choose a major before receiving any counseling. KSU's mandatory freshman course is supposed to be helpful, but it focuses on how to study and attend campus events, not how to decide the rest of your life at age 18. Figuring out what exactly you need to do to graduate is also an issue. As you track your progress closer and closer to 100%, you need to continue communication with advisers from your program as well as for graduation to make sure you have your bases covered. You'll get mixed messages about whether certain classes count for certain credits, etc. If you can manage your own life and progress, KSU is a great school."

"The school is very strong academically. Many of the professors have real-world experience that play a large part in their teaching and material. The school continues to grow, and with the addition of a football team, the unity of the school will come together more."

"Stay on top of all your paperwork. Be sure to study every chance you get. Voice recording my notes brought me the best results on exams."

"Very helpful professors with a lot of insight and practical use for your classroom. Great program to use what you have learned in your class and help your fellow teachers. The professors are extremely knowledgeable about their topics and provide multiple real world applications for the new knowledge. Also the online sites are great for students to go at their own pace and are full of multiple resources to help guide the students through each level. What is even more beneficial is every support personal is extremely helpful and courteous and willing to help with any difficulty that a student may come across."

  • Degree: Communications
"The biggest pro to our graduate program is the opportunity we get to travel abroad! Each student is allowed to choose a country where he or she would like to study and gain more global awareness. Another pro is the class size. It is small enough where each student can get one-on-one support. But it is big enough where students can have scholarly conversations that bring diverse ideas. Another pro is that each professor is super understanding of each persons precious time and we dive right into our material and do not waste time. Also, the classes are so unique that it allows for each student to get a feel for Communication Theory, Public Relations, Research Methods, and a complete scope of how other cultures interact, etc. A big con of the program is that because it is a premium program, becoming a GRA does not give you the possibility to have your tuition fully paid for. So it is nearly impossible to finish the program with out loans. Another con is that you do not have the option of how many courses you can take. You have to take a certain amount of classes. So receiving this scholarship would help me personally minimize my debt after the program has concluded. Every little scholarship would help tremendously! Unfortunately, graduate school is not cheap at all. Thank you for offering this scholarship to graduate students."

"It was a laid-back college grown ups with a focus on education rather than entertainment; with the arrival of football, that may be changing. The English department was the largest, and therefore had many class offerings; the professors challenged you to think rather than memorize. When I was there, there was a lack of seating in the dining facility, and it's recommended that you don't visit during peak hours; however, the Big Owl Bus was very efficient in speeding up the commute to and from class."

"Kennesaw State University is an upstanding school and the education department is wonderful! I have learned a lot and enjoy the professional teachers at this university. I have attend one other college and I have to rave on this college for being beyond amazing. The staff is very helpful and even went out of their way to help me find grants and scholarships. The teachers are professional and as long as you attend classes, you will learn a great deal of information that will be so valuable after graduating. I highly recommend this college."

"I am almost complete with my second semester of graduate school in Social Work at Kennesaw State University and I have been very pleased with the program thus far. The professors are passionate about their work both in the community and in the classroom creating an engaging atmosphere. I have been stretched mentally, academically and emotionally, all I feel necessarily to be the most self-aware and effective social worker."

"The pros of my program are that I am working with students from all over the world and in various filed including government, bio tech, and marketing. The cons are that I wish there were more opportunity to travel to conferences through the school."

"Although, I was a transfer student my experience was rewarding. I interacted with professional staff and students who helped me to progress and reach my goals. My study abroad in 2010 was the most exciting experience I have had. I went to Ghana,West Africa for one Month and all of this was made possible through KSU. I have been a student assistant and I have had wonderful tutors and mentors. Because of my ability to maintain a satisfactory GPÀ, I have received many scholarships in the past. Now that I am graduating I find I need a scholarship to finish as I am not able to pay out of pocket,"

"I attended Kennesaw State University and I graduated with a degree in Biology. All in all I had a great experience both socially and academically. Financial aid can be a little frustrating sometime but in the end everything tends to work out just fine. The professors are very helpful especially when it comes to providing you with career goals and objectives. The only down side I'll say I encountered in my four years, in all honesty is that the science advisors tend to be a little discouraging sometimes. However, the new advisor is doing really well and trying to rectify all problems. Student organization is plentiful and there is something for everyone. Overall I recommend this college and I think new students will benefit from the attentive and readily helpful professors."

"This program is an accelerated graduate program and is very intense. Be prepared to work very hard, but also obtain ample of knowledge and skills. Faculty is very supportive and want to see you succeed. There has been a shortage of preceptors among all graduate nursing programs and can be quite a stressor. Overall I have been very impressed and happy with choosing this school to advance my career as a nurse."

"The good: Excellent campus, excellent program. Mine was a Masters of Science in Conflict Management. It was for working professionals, and so I had classes every two weeks for two days. Great support from program staff. Everyone was accessible. So far, the teachers here are first rate! The food is unbelievable. Be careful! You can gain weight here. The bad: I wanted to stay on campus for that college experience, but the housing is over $600 a month, and you had to sign a one year lease. Great housing, but terribly expensive and unreasonable terms for a 16 month program. No scholarship opportunities for this program."
