Angelo State University Reviews

"I'll speak for this program. The professors are great, except for the guy who taught Research Methods in 2017. I reached out to all my colleagues, and they didn't get the professor's direction either. He should have provided examples of what he was looking for. Otherwise, all the other professors are great. Dr. T. is most helpful in guiding you through to the end. Dr. B. is tough, but he will prep you well for good research and preparing your bibliography. These guys were my favorite. I highly recommend Dr. N. class on Human Rights too. Amazing. If you're going in to government work, I highly recommend this degree through ASU. It's regionally accredited, and you'll be working with top-notch professors who help you go forward in research and employment. You can't put that kind of trust anywhere else. I've even reached out to other universities that offer Security Studies, and they see ASU as a great program too. Definitely worth it if you're a local Intel student too. 14N military training can cover 12 credits out of the 36 you'll need to graduate. No GRE required if you meet a certain GPA requirement. 3.0, I think. Also, you can do a thesis or non-thesis option. If you plan on doing the thesis, get with Dr. T., and start early! Either option is fine. I've applied to two PhD programs now, and neither one have asked for a thesis, so if you want to go further in your education, you won't be seen as a lesser candidate for not having a thesis as a writing sample.Read Less"

"Angelo State University has so much to offer both undergraduate and graduate students. Being a mid-sized public school, it is not only appropriate for most families but also affordable. It's not the most well known institution in Texas, but it should be better known. It's got wonderfully strong undergrad programs, small class sizes, and great post grad options. I'm in the Masters of Education Student Development and Leadership Program. As a current high school college access adviser, I recommend many of my students apply to Angelo State. As a current student, I live the flexibility of on line learning. This degree will afford me more potential to support more of the first generation, under-supported populations I live working with in my position.Read Less"

"The advisors and admissions staff have been incredibly helpful in the process of applying to graduate school and registering for classes. So far, in all of my courses my professors have been engaged in the material and have always been extremely responsive when students have had questions regarding course material. I was nervous at first about attempting a fully only graduate program, but the process through Angelo State University has been smooth, and each course has been laid out in a way that is easy to navigate. I would definitely recommend this school to other considering a Masters of Education.Read Less"

"This is a great program for those interested in ISSA. This is one of a few schools outside of American Military University that offers this program. USAF officers who completed the 14N course also have the opportunity to transfer credits from that course!"

"My online graduate program is well planned. I have a decent amount of course work for working professionals. The assignments are realistic and helpful."

"The criminal justice graduate program at Angelo State consists of solely online classes, which brings about a fair share of both pros and cons. I personally feel the pros out weigh the cons because it allows the student to work on their on pace and teach themselves much of the material. However, I can understand why some people may argue the opposite. With online classes, discipline is required. The professor is not always on hand for help, therefore,. the student must be disciplined to stay on top of their work as well as have the ability to work through problems on their own.Read Less"

"Overall, this was a good program. The area was pretty bland, with not a lot to do, but that worked out because it was fewer distractions to keep me from school work! One pro is that ASU is working towards having more and more online programs so students can complete them from anywhere."

"Pros- exceptional quality instructors and varied course assignments to allow individual creativity Cons- At times the online format of directions can get confusing, but I can always Skype or call if I need clarification."

"ASU MBA program has been the best choice I ever made. My graduate advisor has been most helpful while I am in the beginning stages of my MBA. He has reached out to help me with not only my upcoming classes but also my professional development. I recommend ASU MBA program to any working professional looking to further their career."

"I am taking online courses and from the very beginning my graduate adviser has reached out to me and been very helpful. He even went beyond my degree plan and helped me with my career for after graduation. Overall I am very pleased with the school I chose, and would do it all over again."

"The online program allows me to complete my assignments around my work and social schedule. The con is missing all of the activities offered on campus."

"I am a strictly online student so I cannot attest to the other categories but so far ASU has met my standards of education as far as quality and convenience."

"With the applied program, I can design it to fit my interests. I can pick courses from different psychology fields and combine them to fullfill my needs. However, most courses are online. I feel as if I don't learn as much in online classes compared to in person settings."

"Angelo State University has a wonderful online program that works for people who are still working full time. The classes are only eight weeks and very manageable."

"This is a great graduate program. I am a mother to 3 girls and a wife. Plus I teach school full time, so the online program is wonderful for me to accomplish my goal as a school counselor. So far, I hold a 4.0 gpa."

"Unable to answer some questions because not applicable to an online student PROS: -online classes available -technology support excellent -curriculum rigorous -program competitive -faculty support excellent CONS: -with online classes decreased social activity"

"The C & I graduate program at Angelo State University has been everything I could have hoped for as a graduate student. To start, while all of my grad school classes have been distance education course, the professors have been extremely proficient through e-mail response, Skype tutorials and Black Board interaction. The grading and response time is usually with 1-3 business days and I have been nothing but satisfied with the institution's professionalism. Next, the online course load offered is just as rigorous as the in-class alternative. The responsibility of time management is crucial towards the success of the student(s) but with the right mentality and determination, any student has the ability to be successful at ASU. Ultimately, the atmosphere of the Curriculum and Instruction department is extremely professional yet academic in nature. Any professor, for any course, is able to help with any question(s). Coupling the knowledgeable professors, the ease of at-home (distance) learning, and the competitive rigor of the work load, Angelo State University's M.Ed. program is exactly the graduate program to choose for individuals seeking meaningful continued education through a top-notch learning environment.Read Less"

"My Masters program prepares me to apply scientific theory into real life. The only problem I found in this program were that the faculty frowned upon students writing a thesis compared with the comprehensive examination after all coursework. After graduation, I would like to teach and pursue a PsyD."

"I honestly have no complaints about my graduate program. The professors are excellent and I really enjoy all of my classes."

"This school was much more affordable, but I wish they had more graduate programs and I wish they had more classes available online."
