A.T. Still University of Health Sciences Reviews

"A.T. Still University is a wonderful environment for inter-professional learning. As a school solely comprised of healthcare professionals, you get a great collaborative experience which athletic trainers need to be successful."

"This is a very flexible program with feasible assignments. The online program gives a sense of distance from the class and the institution but the technology helps bridge that gap. Instructors are fair in assignments and evaluation, and easily contacted. Financial aid is efficient in applying awards."

"While working at the high school for the past 6 years, I feel that the knowledge that I have received from A.T. Still University has prepared me to become a stronger more knowledgeable clinician. When it comes to making decisions within the clinic setting, I feel that I am more confident now than I would have been with just a bachelor's degree. ATSU provided many classes with hands on activities that stress the point of treating the whole patient and not just the injury. There was also a great support staff that wanted all students to succeed. The only con that I experienced was the cost of the schooling. But in the end I feel that it was worth it because it has prepared me for what I am able to accomplish today.Read Less"

"Great 1 on 1 with professors. Tuition is rather high."

"A.T. Still University has been a wonderful place to obtain both my master's degree and my doctoral degree. I can't say enough good things about it!"

"While the program is offered on-line, it is important to note that this is not an "on-line degree". This is not a place to go if you are looking for a quick and easy on-line degree. The academic workload and integrity are higher than many of the traditional on-campus programs offered."

"KCOM is an interesting medical school. It focuses on helping students, and I feel everyone of the staff and faculty aims to see us achieve our goals. It is not a school for "Gunners" so if you need competition to do well this is not the school for you. We liberal share our notes and help each other. I can honestly say I love this school."

"I very much appreciate the value that there is on communication between the faculty and the students. It is a relief to know that the faculty are as invested in their students as much as the students are invested in their own success."

"Structure of certain classes within the curriculum can be re-formatted in order to increase the amount of student engagement with the material."

"I thoroughly enjoyed my time at ATSU. I completed the MPH program in 2011 and in 2014 decided to go back and obtain my DHA. I was and continue to be thrilled with the quality of the program and the helpfulness of the professors."

"Love the professors, other assistant faculty and support staff and the facilities. The area and weather are great. If you're looking into PT school I'd definitely make the trip to Mesa."

"Pros: Affordable, lots of support from faculty, interesting classes, school is in the process of getting CEPH accreditation, easy application. Cons: I wish they would find an online learning system other than Blackboard. Blackboard goes down ALL THE TIME. Like, every Sunday, when everything is due."

"I just started at the school not too long ago and I must say that I have no regrets about my decision! Here are my pros: -Open door policy for faculty: They are always willing to talk to you about whatever, whenever - whether its academics, clinical techniques, or fun things to do in town/ -Educational Resources: The school offers tutoring for free. They will also work with students to enhance note-taking skills, reduce test anxiety, improve their learning methods. -Peer Support: Your classmates and even older students are so supportive here. Everyone wants everyone else to succeed. Here are my cons: -Lack of social time: Of course dental school takes lot of time. And I'm not saying I don't have a night away from studying; I just wish there was more of those times.Read Less"

"I love the mission of the school, to serve and lift others. It is a beautiful campus, in a beautiful area. The professors and staff are so accessible and willing to help. The school really cares about the success of their students. The one con is the steep price of attending the school."

"Pros: amazing faculty, amazing anatomy programs, early exposure to patients, faculty know their material, very receptive to change Cons: new program, expensive because it is private"

"The school is challenging and student driven. Work loads are intense, but the faculty is amazing and will do whatever necessary to help students to succeed. The surrounding area is beautiful and you cannot beat the weather. The facilities and access to technology and professional support is outstanding. Really happy with my choice in graduate schools."

"A. T. Still PA program was all in all a great experience. The faculty were very helpful and supportive although the program is very rigorous and intense. The location is great and there is very affordable living surrounding the campus. Due to it being a suburb location there is not much public transportation, so a car would be necessary. The only con of this graduate program was the rotation/clinical placement. There were times throughout my schooling that I did not have a clinical rotation set up until the very last minute and sometimes I had to set them up myself. It is my understanding that the school is aware of this downfall however and is trying to improve this area.Read Less"

"Pros: very safe environment, friendly community, excellent staff with numerous resources. Cons: small community"

"I am obtaining my masters degree in athletic training and I believe that A.T. Still University at Mesa has a very strong academic program. I know that if I went anywhere else in the country I would not be getting the quality exposure that I get everyday. Our program is only about 20 students and this allows for closer relationships with our faculty and staff. In any of our core classes they are co-taught and have at least 1 faculty member that is a certified athletic trainer. I really do not know that there are any cons to this program but you do have to be ready to work. One thing that can be improved is the diversity of the students as well as staff.Read Less"

"It's a safe, small town feel with excellent opportunities for education."
