"I had an amazing experience at MSASS! The faculty are doing cutting edge research, and you will leave the program with the most up-to-date information in the field. If anything, you may find yourself feeling frustrated once you are in the workforce because the workforce has not yet caught up to the training provided at MSASS!"

"The size of the MBA program at case is great. It is large enough to incorporate enough diversity, but small enough to allow for a lot of interaction with professors. This, in my opinion, helps to better facilitate learning for the students."

  • Degree: Nutrition
"I am receiving my Masters Degree in Nutrition. I feel as though my program is challenging and competitive, but the faculty and staff at Case Western Reserve University is very supportive. I enjoy the variety of coursework and the amount of networking in this "medical hub" of Cleveland. I also enjoy the emphasis that the Nutrition graduate program puts on interdisciplinary teamwork. We get to work with medical, dental, nursing and social work students, which is great! The atmosphere of campus is nice, with good access to public transportation and off-campus housing. The amount of financial aid does not seem to be a strength of this school, as tuition rates are very high. Overall, I am enjoying my graduate student experience at Case Western Reserve University."

"I lived in North Carolina my entire life, so I was extremely hesitant about the prospect of moving to Cleveland, Ohio to pursue my MBA. All over the country, Cleveland has garnered a poor reputation, and there was a time I was thoroughly convinced that I would not dare move to Cleveland to go to school. However, after braving two brutal winters, I can gladly say that I made one of the best decisions of my life. The people and the program were a perfect fit for me. The class size was perfect for the way in which I learn, and the accessibility of my professors was ideal. Not to mention, the city of Cleveland proved to be awesome as well."

  • Degree: Organizational Leadership
"The Master's of Positive Organizational Development is one of the most innovative and thorough in the country. The professors are top notch and the coursework - while difficult - is so cutting edge. The support the organization gives you is phenomenal. Only worry is how much support I will get in career transition after finishing my degree."

"Case Western Reserve University school of law is an amazing place to choose to attend law school. In terms of academics, there is a great encouragement and tendency for students to support one another. The career office is amazing, and the network Case has allowed connections all over the country and even academically. They are generous with scholarships. The professors and staff are always willing to meet with you, help you, and do whatever they can to make your time as a law student easier. Great pick for a school-- no regrets. The only significant cons to attending school here is the unreliable Cleveland transportation system, sometimes safety is an issue if you venture too far from campus in the wrong area."

"My graduate program is highly ranked and competitive. I view this as a great pro in the schools favor. Some cons are that some of the professors are inexperienced and it changes the learning experience. Students in the same course but different sections with different professors can have a very different experience."

"The size of Case's chem department is perfect, not too big and not too small. The faculty and staff are all very friendly and supportive, as well as very driven in their research and in teaching. Housing close to campus is very affordable on the monthly stipend and many students, including myself, walk or ride bikes here everyday (not to mention the free shuttle during the fall and spring semesters). There is great research going on here, many top of the line facilities and equipment and a lot of collaborations with researchers in the med school and in polymer science."

"The Acting Graduate Program is an excellent launching point for the young professional seeking growth and refinement of their craft as an actor. The financial aid is exceptionally generous, as is the support of the University and the partnered Regional Theatre. Preparing oneself to go into the world as a working artist, the program delivers exceptional educators in a multiplicity of skillsets while saving costs for the sake of the students financial aid."

"This is an amazing program that is extremely challenging yet rewarding. We have such a supportive class and our instructors are with us in the classroom and our mentors at the hospital during clinicals. I am in the Masters of Anesthesia - DC location and I am extremely proud to be apart of this wonderful school and great growing field."

"CWRU School of Law has its ups and downs. The instruction is great, the professors care about preparing you for the bar and real practice and generally take a genuine interest in your future. There is plenty of opportunity to get involved in extra-curricular activities such as legal clinics, volunteer work, journals and peer tutoring. One thing that could be improved is the administration. Financial Aid is important for many students, and during my time at CWRU there was only one adviser for the entire law school. While I never had an issue myself, I knew several others who did. I just do not think one person is enough for the program size. Also, the career development office could expand its efforts to help those students from out of state who are looking to find jobs in their home states. With that being said, CWRU is located in Cleveland, OH a city that is making a comeback of sorts and has some great opportunities for young professionals in various fields. Not a bad option if you don't mind the Midwest and are concerned about the job market."
