University of Cincinnati Reviews

"University of Cincinnati has a really great Masters of Social Work program. I love that I have field placement each semester for a two year program."

"School is in a crappy neighborhood, but program is good and challenging. Will make you a good pharmacist."

"A lot of the faculty are very helpful, however the program is not on the university's priority list of programs, so it is not one of the best. That being said, they have a lot of opportunities available."

"The Masters of Public Health program at the University of Cincinnati offers a experiential learning program that integrates classroom knowledge and first hand experience. Although this program is new and is in the process of gaining more faculty and more options for classes, I feel that the program is growing stronger every year."

"Small class sizes allows me to interact with my peers and instructors more, which I love."

"The program is honest amazing. The faculty are extremely helpful and accessible to students for in class and out of class reason, including career development and preparation for conferences, journal submission, etc. The quality of the education is top notch. The department's resources, particularly the funding opportunities available and the Blegen Library (the largest collection of Classics materials in the world) are incredible. The stipend might seem lower that in other schools, but the cost of living in Cincinnati is so much lower than in places like New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, or anywhere in CA that it ends up going further than in those places or is at least competitive. The support for summer work is also excellent. Opportunities to be involved in teaching, as either a TA or instructor, are plentiful. UC Classics also has great access and networking with places like ASCSA, AAR, Centro, etc."

"There are multiple element of the Graduate program that can be both pro's and con's. An example of this being that the amount of work and readings assigned is overwhelming, yet reassuring that all information being reviewed and provided is thorough and the most recent available. There i also a diverse population of students and faculty; in various areas of life, culture and ethnicity. This allows for students and faculty to expand their ability to communication, learn and share experience and knowledge with others. I love this program, though it is difficult having to attend class in addition to working and raising my family. I believe it would be of great assistance to students if the MSW program identified how to incorporate distance learning in conjunction with attending class physically to expidite completing the program."

"Cincinnati has its strong (peds, EM, surgery, neurology) and weak (IM, psych) programs. Overall though, I had a pretty good learning experience from my core rotations. First two years prepared me well for the Boards and a good number of students scored 250+ on their Step 1. We have a handful of very dedicated faculty members who are devoted to student success."

"The benefits of attending UC's Public Health program are networking and academic curriculum. This provides a well-rounded education and preparedness upon entering the Public Health sector following graduation. Unfortunately, the campus is located in an are known for crime. Though the city and campus police have partnered to increase safety and reduce crime, the crime rate in Cincinnati can be a deterrent."

"I liked my school. It has a supportive environment. Teachers here are wonderful. All great musicians and person!"

"Cheapest instate school, good track record of graduates passing boards, many opportunities for rotations"

"strong program good mentorship strong collaborations advisers are approachable and helpful receive advise on alternative careers coursework is not always relavent few opportunities to gain scientific writing skills program is scattered between two campuses and several locations (this is a pro and con)"

"school in bad neighborhood, during day safety is generally not an issue. Ample parking. Easily accessible faculty."

"little relief from teaching, too much TA work, bad vibe"

"Great program that just received funding for new students and an increased stipend! Area is fun and is really close to downtown Cincinnati."

"The co-op program is a great opportunity to see how different firms operate. It is a great chance to network and potentially find a job upon graduation. DAAP has yet to have certain open facilities that have become standard in more technology-oriented programs, such as a student-run laser cutter. It has also not a strong program for conceptual design. The program does have a decent amount of flexibility if you desire, though you will have to work harder. I will also graduate in the same time frame with my MBA."

"There is little to no diversity in the DAAP program at UC. The resources are excellent and the faculty is world class but if you are a minority student that does not fare well in predominantly white environment. However, the university is taking measures to increase the diversity by offering fellowships and scholarships to minority students in underrepresented fields. I received a great fellowship and I really appreciate the financial support."

"Pros: My program is small and as a result it is easy to meet with professors or advisors to talk about curriculum and anything else that may be pertinent. The courses are just what I am looking for. My cohort is close and we all rely on each other for support. There are a lot of opportunities to develop my counseling/ psychology skills (Continuing Educational Credits, meetings, training sessions, conferences, etc) Cons: There has been confusion regarding practicum and internship. There isn't much diversity in my class. The first year counseling students (I am second year) have a much more diverse class."

"I feel that the faculty and staff are committed to helping the students."

"I love studying at the University of Cincinnati-College Conservatory of Music. The faculty and facilities are top-notch, and it's great to be around peers who work just as hard as I do. There are very few negatives, but if I had to name a few they would include the unsafe neighborhoods that surround the University area, and the lame downtown area. But if you learn to make safe choices and find the good parts of town it can be a nice place to live and study!"
