University of Central Florida Reviews

"The MSW program at the University of Central Florida is ranked one of the top programs in the state. I believe that the biggest pro of the program is the accessibility of the professors and counselors. Being able to get in contact with them is seamless. The con of the program is the price. The cost of graduate school can be steep at times, potentially deterring qualified students from pursuing a graduate degree."

"I love my graduate program in Language and Literacy. We learn how to help children with special needs access communication and literacy using cutting-edge research findings. The work-load can be strenuous, but the faculty are very supportive."

"As a Physics grad student one of the most important things is research, and when it comes to Physics and similar fields UCF has lots of very interesting and exciting research opportunities. The cons might be that you might have gone in thinking you might be doing specific research only to find out that you probably will have to do other research."

"This Graduate Program is ranked as the 7th best in the country. I attended UCF as a undergraduate and loved the school and the faculty. I feel that same about my current program. Everyone is so optimistic and cares for each individual student. They are so well versed in their fields that they have and answer or a direction to head you in with each and every questions. They are understanding and forgiving people and see you as a person. It is truly one of the best experiences I have had in school thus far."

"The pros of this graduate program include the classes at night from 6-9 pm which allows students to work all day and even full-time. The workload is not overwhelming and the program seems designed for students who need to work while pursuing their degree. Some of the cons include mandatory group projects/presentations in every class."

"You know what to expect each semester as far class scheduling. All classes are once a week at the same time. It's complements your work schedule. Professors are personable and easy to get in touch with."

"I truly enjoyed my time at the University of Central Florida while working on my Masters of Science with a concentration in Health Services Administration. The program faculty and staff truly care for the students and want them to succeed. There are a number of student organizations that work hard to provide additional value to their fellow students as well. I would not have picked any other school for my masters degree!!!!!!!"

"Pros: Interdisciplinary Program, Great faculty, Research and teaching opportunities Cons: Professors sometimes lecture on their specific area of interest."

"I love that it is an interdisciplinary program."

"There are pros and cons to everything. You just have to make the best of it. I am being challenged and look forward to gaining more experience in this field."

"The University of Central Florida is an outstanding institution to come to, network, have fun, and get an education. The psychology degree program has plenty to offer and jobs can be found around the greater Orlando and Tampa area after completion of work. There's internships, labs, and many more things you can do in order to be successful enough to learn and get into a nice Master's degree program and Doctorate's. I can't really say much but UCF has everything any student would need. It's big, there's food places on campus, hair shop, and just it's an all around city!"

"The college program is great for those continuing on to Law School. However, I am an older student, returning to school trying to become a paralegal and almost a year after school, I still cannot get a job because everyone wants experience. I cannot afford an unpaid internship for 5 years all offices expect for experience as I have a family to support. Young students - get yourself involved early in an internship."

"pros: Great faculty and staff! We have the resources to perform research projects and have school materials given to us. cons: Class workload and teaching is high. It requires lots of balancing."

"Great program with their own clinic, the aphasia house, and the fast center."

"UCF is a upcoming university, the department strive hard to improve the quality of teaching and research. For academic related item, it is all very good. The cons about UCF is it location. Orlando does not have good public transportation, so if you need something you normally have to drive, which is hard for international student. Fortunately UCF operate lots of shuttle bus for transit from living area to school."

"I did Direct Connect, a program where if you are accepted to UCF from the local Junior College, you enter in as a junior. Classes were offered at the same junior college for UCF as there are UCF campuses sharing the junior college campus. Some of the students are very involved. I was not able to be as involved because I worked daytime hours and could only attend evening courses. Most instructors were able to communicate with on a regular basis and even when I was having trouble, the professors worked with me. Though tuition was a little pricy, overall the school is great. I plan on returning!"

"Very competitive. But competition is sometimes based on something ridiculous. So, eventually, an A-student might not really understand what's going on in his field study, he's just good in taking classes and exams."

"I believe this degree is very important in identifying patterns of domestic and international issues, and helping shape the political minds of tomorrow that will be implementing and executing plans to solve real-world problems. The International Relations track was very useful in that it requires two additional terms of a foreign language that I found to be very helpful in not only language barrier break-down, but also to understand the way that other societies interpret information via their language building style."

"The University of Central Florida looks for diversity within it's MBA Program!"

"UCF Rocks!!! I enjoyed the education that I received at UCF. I have two Degrees from UCF. I am going to go back to get another. The staff, teachers and administrators are helpful, enriching and helped in anyway that they could with my educational experience. I recommend UCF to anyone who asked me where I attended and tell them what are great educational experience that anyone can get."
