The College of Saint Rose Reviews of Master's in Education

"It was hands on. The professors were friendly and helpful."

"It was a nice campus in a city with lots to do. It offered many programs and at the time had an excellent program for School Psychology. It was not too big and had access to everything needed."

"The College of Saint Rose is a great choice for students that plan to commute. I wouldn't recommend it if you are going to stay on campus. Academics are excellent but advisement is lacking."

"This was a college that truly prepared me for my job in education. The professors inspired me and influenced my teaching."

"The program is pretty small, which provides individualized attention. It was pretty easy to get a graduate assistantship when I wanted one, but by taking that I was not allowed any other financial aid from the college (the assistantship covered a third of tuition only)."

"The College of Saint Rose music education program is a very small program, which definitely has its benefits. Very small class sizes provide a close, personalized education. There are many opportunities to perform and better your skills as a musician. Unfortunately, because of the small size of the program, there are not a lot of options. You are required to take electives, which is theory give you more control to your degree, but not many classes are offered. I have a graduate assistantship, and have difficulties in finding enough classes to be full time in order to keep it."

"Pros- The education department has the best reputation in this area. A degree from St. Rose means a great teacher education. I love my professors and I love everything that I am learning. Cons- The cons are minimal: poor parking, terrible library hours, and location. None of these things impact my education, and I wouldn't trade this decision for any other."

"Overall the program is pretty thorough. The class sizes are small, allowing for a more personalized experience. The cost is pretty high though, and there is little opportunity for financial aid."

"It would be better if there was more time spent in the classroom with students to gain the experience needed to get a teaching job."
