Alabama A & M University Reviews

"Alabama A&M set a great foundation for all prospective students. The professors are GREAT!!! Hands down!! They are caring and ensure they are available when students are in need. They are understanding and willing to make accommodations depending on the need of the student."

"I enjoyed all of the opportunities that Alabama A&M University provided me in the graduate social work program. As a student, I was able to learn many techniques for the social work profession such as assessments while in classes. While working in the field as an intern I gained valuable experience that assisted me gaining practical knowledge in the social work profession. The graduate social work program was also able to provide me with a scholarship that greatly helped me in paying for classes. I would definitely recommend this program to anyone interested in pursuing their social work degree.Read Less"

"I appreciate Alabama A and M University for preparing me for a career in one of the hardest working fields of study. I am thankful for my professors that helped me and encouraged me to reach for the stars in my goals as a professional. I will not forget my time here at this institution."

"When I graduated in 2012 with a BS in Organizational Management, I was married, a mother of five children, and grandmother to six grandchildren. However, my friend encouraged me to look into the MSW program at AAMU, and I applied before I left the USA on vacation. I was accepted, matriculated and graduated on time in 2014. It was challenging, but rewarding, and my teachers were exceptional because they were knowledgeable as well as caring and kind to the students. I had a wonderful experience! I recommend the MSW program at AAMU without hesitation, and I will continue to recruit students to attend AAMU for the MSW program. The faculty at AAMU rocks! Go Bulldogs!Read Less"

"I attended an online graduate program for social work and was very pleased with my experience and the knowledge I gained. I was able to make connections with fellow students who have become sources of motivation and help in my daily career. I also had the opportunity to complete an internship that led into a job and gave me a good look at what being a social worker was all about."

"Alabama A&M Universitys MSW program prepares its students for life after college. The department has some of the best professors on campus, such as Dr. Perry-Mitchell, Dr. Plummer, Professor Clayborn and Dr. McElderry genuinely care for their students and go above and beyond to make sure that you excell."

"Alabama A&M provided me with the training to be a effective Social Worker and the academic skills to complete my PhD program. They offer a master's thesis option which trained me in research and academic writing. I'm currently a postdoctoral researcher at an Ivy League university and A&M helped make that possible!"

"Alabama A &M's MSW program gave me the skills and training necessary to be an effective practitioner in the field of social work. Time and time again I go back to the tools and the theories learned in the program at A&M and find practical application in my work. In this MSW program, you have to be mature enough and driven enough to make use of every opportunity (i.e., term papers, readings, group assignments and projects) to prepare yourself for working in the noble field of social work. You won't be spoon-fed. It's up to you to seize every wonderful educational and training opportunity that will be provided for you. I work with people every day who received their MSW from UT Knoxville, Villanova, UT Nashville, and the University of Alabama. I know from my own experience that you will be just as prepared and in many cases more prepared by the program at Alabama A&M.Read Less"

"I had a very positive experience at my school. My professors were very supportive and knowledgeable, they were always willing to help and I knew that they wanted the best for me. The staff at the university and in my department were efficient and always willing to help. I truly enjoyed my graduate experience."

"Alabama A & M was a very positive experience. All faculty in the graduate social work department were readily available to assist in any way possible and provided excellence in the classroom. Once graduated, I was fully prepared to take and pass the licensure exam immediately as a result of the hands on teaching I received. The student body is high achieving and very supportive of one another in their academic and personal growth. I highly recommend this university to others. Faculty also assists you in preparing resumes to ensure excellent job opportunities.Read Less"

"Alabama A&M equipped me with the real world skills to face the often times challenging field of social work. Learning to question ethical dilemmas, to think critically and to understand the injustice that exists within our world have been incredibly valuable in helping me to succeed in the field."

"In selecting a university I believe its important to research the community not just at the city level but also the community within your selected field of study. Also quality of education; does my teacher actually teach me or teaches at me. With Alabama A&M I had a strong community of teachers who sought to educate me, mentor me, motivate me and groomed me to become a competent social worker today. The administration issues have improved in some but if it was perfect and easy I wouldnt be as prepared for the twists and turns of adult life.Read Less"

"This program was outstanding. The since of community and family provided by the faculty and staff lended to a safe and comfortable learning environment. For a mother going to school after working a full time job this was the most perfect program for me. The faculty challenged us, giving no room for underperformers. They were preparing us for the real world not simply preparing us to pass a test. They were cultured, world traveled, well rounded, educated, competent, passionate professors with a plethora of experience. In turn that inspired me to a bit more eclectic in my professional life and personal life as well.Read Less"

"The MSW program at AAMU has adequately prepared me for every aspect of my professional work today. In the AAMU MSW program students are not just a number in a field of students, but individuals. I was a non- traditional student who went through a divorce, became a single parent and lost a parent while in the program and my professors helped me navigate these transitions, while remaining the academic honor society and graduate. Today I still feel the support of my professors and the classmates I had there when reaching out to network, ask for a recommendation or advice, or just to check in.Read Less"

I was always comfortable making mistakes knowing that fellow classmates, faculty, and staff would assist in learning a better way to approach lifes problems."

"Alabama A&M University is a great university! As it is a part of the HBCUs, or Historically Black Colleges and Universities, in the nation, it is definitely one that should not be overlooked.

"Alabama A&M University is one of the few state funded Universities in Alabama. It is also one of the few Agriculture and Mechanical which has its own land that is used for student use and hands on studies. The campus also known as "The Hill" is a wonderful place to learn. The professors and counselors are there for you every step of the way and help to make sure that you graduate and have a successful future."

"Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical University (AAMU) provides students with the best instruction, hands on experience, and networking opportunities. Your professors are always available to help with your academic and professional needs. I first transferred to AAMU in 2007 from another institution and there I learned about how to apply for graduate and professional programs. The Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences provided opportunities and internships that prepared me for standardize testing that wasn't previously available to me. The family atmosphere on campus helped me to become more community focused and offered the support I needed even after I'd graduated. As a Graduate Assistant, I instructed Biology and Chemistry, I was active in various campus organizations, I performed research, and participated in school fundraisers, all while completing my master's degree. I still communicate with all my professors which has open opportunities for me in research and also helped prepared me for medical school. AAMU will prepare you to be a highly competitive and well sought after job applicant and professional school applicant. Whether is in the STEM field, our nationally ranked(2nd in the country) Social Work program , our Engineering and Technology School (ranked 1st in the state of Alabama) , or our phenomenal business program, AAMU is sure to help you achieve your academic potential and career goals.Read Less"
