California State University - Northridge Reviews

"Pros- Academic Rigor, Cost of Program Cons-none, I love this school."

"Pros to my graduate program is the part time aspect. We are allowed to work and have the opportunity to study as well ! Cons would be that we are offered no scholarships due to the fact that we are not full time students."

"This school provides a great academic setting for the working professional. Although the workload can become a bit overwhelming at times, it is very managable. But on the other hand, finanical aid department leaves alot to be desired. I have encounted many errors which has let me with an enormous balance, but I am determined to finish my program."

"Professors are very helpful in giving you the experience within your field work and give you extra support to make sure your learning the right material to work after graduating their program."

"The program has a high portion of quality instructors, many of whom are willing to share a research project. The workload is reasonable. Some classes are not at the graduate level - more like advanced undergraduate. A lot of the graduate students also did their undergraduate at CSUN, and have unreasonably low workload expectations. Teaching assistantships pay next to nothing and expect quite a bit of work. However, by far the worst part of the program is the complete failure of the administrators. I am trying to graduate, and no one can tell me the steps to follow. My department is helpful, and knows what I need to do for them, but in terms of forms, fees, and deadlines of those type, no one knows! I am a capable person with multiple jobs; many other alumni share my frustrations."

"I find that CSU Northridge has undergone some major changes since I was an undergrad who graduated in 2010. The department of geological sciences has shown major growth with their technology and faculty, and I am very delighted to be a part of their department as a graduate student."
