"Pros - Very good program with a great return on investment. Professors are very helpful and always available to answer questions. Very diverse group of students with several international students. Several financial aid opportunities in the form of graduate assistantships. Cons - Not the best career support services, as job placement can be a little challenging following graduation. Alumni network could be improved."

"I have never been a "school person" but I really enjoy learning new things just didn't really like the classroom environment. Going to college opened my eyes to the world. I'm from a small country town and have always only known that until leaving for school and now I'm so happy with the decision I made to attend WKU. It's truly been a humbling and learning experience."

"Western Kentucky University's Educational Leadership Doctoral Program is designed to enable current professionals with an opportunity to seek a doctoral degree. The flexibility of weekend and evening classes with online capabilities makes it a breeze for today's professionals to access the courses needed to graduate. There is absolutely no reason why someone should not seek a doctorate degree in Educational Leadership now that WKU has this program."

"I think the school in general needs to improve on their career fairs. The career center provides some support but the career fairs are not good enough and the employers that come sometimes have job openings for only high school graduate and that makes me wonder what they are doing in a university."

"Most of my program can be completed on-line which makes it great when you have jobs and families! Faculty support has been wonderful! The only disadvantage is sometimes the clarity of assignments is a little unclear, but normally an email to the instructor clears up any concerns."
