Bethune-Cookman University Reviews

"Bethune-Cookman University molded me into the woman that I am today. The experience there is like no other institution. I am extremely proud to be a Wildcat. Every school has their trials and tribulations. However, the fighting power of Bethune-Cookman, instilled by our Founder, Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune, holds strong within the schools community. The music department truly has gems as professors. I am truly thankful to be a product of the talented individuals that teach there. I am thankful for the sacrifices my professors made for me and the bond I have created with them through their educational support.Read Less"

"I attended Bethune Cookman located in Daytona beach FL, from 2010-2014. I had a great experience and highly recommend their hospitality or business program. They equip you with all the necessities to achieve your business goals and advance in the industry.."

"Bethune Cookman University is an excellent School for higher education. It offers numerous areas of study. I received my BSN and was well prepared for my nursing boards upon graduation. I highly recommend anyone who is looking for a college experience that has cultural diversity, a progressive curriculum and family environment."

"Bethune-Cookman provided a well balanced learning environment of rigor and support and in the midst of all of the learning, there was time enough for fun: campus activities, athletics, campus parties. My experiences at B-CC will forever be treasured!"

"While drenched in the history and legacy of Dr Mary McLeod Bethunes amazing achievement, Bethune Cookman University is a small, private college-turned-university. BCU is a school that will celebrate the new members of sororities and fraternities on the weekends, march to the polls for elections, pray during assemblies, and show their school spirit at the Florida Classic. Even the least school spirited individual will rep the collegiate maroon and gold while sitting across from the sea of orange and green of Florida A&M University. What doesn't get enough recognition, are the actual academics. Of course, the top scholars get their assemblies, but the celebrations are more geared toward academic downtime. Honor societies are not recognized, ever. There are also not very many internship opportunities which make for a challenging time post-graduation. Transitioning from college to the real world is very difficult as there is not a way to network unless you choose a popular major like business or mass communications. College is the time to grow up and find out who you are, where you want to go, and what you want to become. While most students matriculate and graduate, there are way too many who fall through the cracks and do not. It appears that there is not enough pressure, or perhaps, too much pressure of the wrong kind, to continue. It does not seem to be the best university. Several individuals have transferred out of it, only to find that the credits they worked so hard for would not transfer. It may be that the school does not offer the right major as there are not as many as other public or private universities. No university is perfect, but Bethune Cookman is a decent school. Given the opportunity to thrive, it is one to attend.Read Less"

"The faculty are supportive and are very helpful in helping the students grow into better scientists."

"Bethune-Cookman University though small does well with what they have. I am in the program for the Master of science in Transformative leadership. For the Graduate Studied program the pros are, the graduate school program is fairly small so there is always that option to have the one on one relationship with your professors. The small size of the school allows for more personal attention when it come to the work. The tuition for school In my opinion is more reasonable than many others I looked at. The professors at the school take a special interest in the students to make sure you succeed, always offering help above and beyond. The cons are that the Graduate school does not offer assistant ships or fellowships so you would have to rely on other means to pay for school (scholarships, out of pocket etc). In the graduate school my program is completely online as for most of the others, which I am learning to cope with but I don't completely enjoy it, I prefer In class lessons. The online aspect allows for having virtual classes on a set schedule which is convenient, but it also allows for a lot of technical difficulties. The last con is that there are only a very small amount of graduate programs to choose from. I would still recommend though that people who are looking for a good school with hard working people take a look at this University.Read Less"

"I am currently in the Counseling Psychology Master, and I love it. This new program that Bethune Cookman University is offering is amazing. Coming from a business background to a psychology master was kind of hard and challenging, but athletes love that, we love challenge. My first semester I got two “As” and my second semester I got one “A” and one “B”. I am looking forwards to continue this master."

"The Graduate Program at Bethune Cookman University is amazing. It gives you the oppurtunity to meet and learn new things. With this program, they teach you apply what you are being taught in your everyday life with first looking at your self. The professors make you see that you can not change whats gooing on around you with out first seeing what was going on with you. The professors are easy to get along with willing to help every step of the way. They push you to reach new heights."
