Adams State University Reviews

"The CACREP accredited Counseling program was wonderful. I was able to complete this degree in the evenings and weekends and I learned so much. No problem matching with an internship site either. This degree changed my life in allowing me to become a licensed practitioner in Ohio and dramatically increase my personal income and satisfaction level in my career. I would highly reco this program to working professionals, parents or anyone with other responsibilities in their lives. Fabulous program."

"Im sorry to say that I was enrolled in and graduated from the Adams State University CRM MA program. My time spent in this program was nothing but a nightmare. The professors didnt respond to emails or phone calls, they didnt submit grades on time, and the course content was laughable. This entire program was a joke. The professors admitted that they didnt have time to read the dissertations they were signing off on, and while serving on thesis committees they sometimes delayed scheduling student defenses for months on end. If you are thinking about enrolling in this program, DONT! If you do, you will not be paying to further your education, you will be paying for a worthless piece of paper that you will have to fight to get. You will constantly be begging the professors to do their jobs. This degree WILL look like an academic blackeye on your resume. I know it looks like a good opportunity, but I can not encourage you strongly enough that you dont want to get stuck in this program!Read Less"

"Having attended my undergrad on campus I was worried about an online program, however, my experience with ASU has been outstanding. The office staff is amazing and attentive to all my concerns, the instructors are knowledgeable and get me excited about becoming a future therapist. During my five semesters at ASU, I have only had one professor that I would classify as not great. The impressive piece was the academic advisor asked for feedback and I felt heard; my issue was addressed very quickly. I would HIGHLY recommend taking a good look at this program.Read Less"

"It was a fantastic college in a beautiful area. There were small classes, a variety of clubs, and wonderful teachers."

"I am still currently in school, the online option has really helped me to get this program done. There is plenty of support offered by the school. I am a busy single parent that does not have time to go to campus for classes. I want to further my education and without online I wouldn't be able to. They also very good at working with me when I am struggling to get things submitted early. They are understanding of life and work well with their students to ensure they get a quality education/"

"Adams State University is a good school for students looking for a diverse college experience in a quiet and comfortable setting. The University is located in a small town and is a great location to complete your degree while focusing on school."

"The school offers various opportunities for financial aid. Due to the low student to teacher ratio getting help isn't a big issue. The location of the school is beautiful - Mountain ranges and Sand Dunes! Technology use could be improved though it isn't to far behind and student activities definitely need improvement. Transportation could be more accessible. Overall: Good education, the details need to be worked out to better service students."

"I love that it is online, and completed in only five semesters. The work load is VERY heavy, however. It's very difficult to take two classes and work full time, which is what all of my cohort is doing. I love how most of my coursework is immediately applicable to what I'm teaching my students in my own classroom."

"The online courses can easily fit in to a professional work schedule, and most professors acknowledge that the students are working full-time jobs while attending graduate school."

"Adams State University is one of only four CACREP accredited distance Graduate Counseling programs Professors are knowledgeable, available, and current practitioners. Courses are practical, require scholarly research, and provide an exceptional education experience. I highly recommend ASU Counselor Education."

"I like the convenience of the on line program. I have had medical issues during my studies and it has caused difficulty. At one point the college lost all of my records and I had to resubmit transcripts, letters of recommendation and application. It has at times been frustrating."

"It is affordable and I have really enjoyed the online classes"

"Overall, the school is nice. The graduate program costs more for online classes. There should have been an option to take the cheaper, in-person classes, instead of the sport management degree being all online. The graduate assistant scholarship does not cover all of tuition like promised."

"I am only in my first year of the program, but I feel that I have learned a lot of information so far. I will be doing my first classes on campus this summer. I am glad that this program exists because I live in rural Colorado and there isn't a school where I live that goes beyond an Associates Degree. With children of my own moving is out of the question for now."

"This school is very affordable and offers a competitive education at a competitive price."

"The pros are the educators are concerned about your learning experience. The con would be the number of scholarships."

"Our faculty advisor, Dr. C, is one of the most knowledgeable people I know. He has inspired a real love of history in me. The courses to the MA degree are logical, challenging,well organized and thought provoking. The grad school is also very accommodating. I had to drop school for a while when my parents in law were dying. But Adams State made it very easy for me to re enroll and for that I am very thankful."

"Pro from my graduate program are that we are done sooner than most schools. Another pro would be the fact that we can internship to gain more knowledge and experience. However, a really important con is how hard it is to find scholarships that coincide with my school, Tucson College"

"The professors are knowledgeable and engaging. I really don't have any complaints!"

"I have enjoyed the Counselor Education Online Plus program at Adams State University. It has challenged me on an intellectual, professional, and personal level in understanding the value of mental health counseling. The Faculty members are very knowledgeable in their career and academic fields, especially professional and ethical issues related to counseling. The online format can be challenging at time but the faculty try to create an engaging online environment. Additionally, the summer residency component of the program provides students with a chance to make relationships with their cohort and practice basic counseling and interpersonal skills. The primary downside is that there are not many scholarships available to online students.Read Less"
