Central Washington University Reviews

"The department is rather tight nit and gets along greatly. The instructors care about the well being of their students and are very supportive. The stipend is rather small, but the cost of living is cheap here as well. With some well-planned budgeting it is manageable."

"The faculty worked with me very well, I believe you get what you work for."

"Its a newly added Program by the Board of Applied Behavior Analysis in the Psychology Dept. So far the program has exceeded my expectations and everything has been very straightforward and easy to understand as far as classes, financial need, coursework, and available internships. The communication between staff and students is a definite strong point, as well!"

"My college degree was instrumental to my career, which I consider successful. My degree allowed me to obtain well paying jobs which I would not have been able to obtain otherwise. It also gave me greater flexibility in work location, which allowed me and my family to relocate to the specific place we wanted to live. I am 59 years old and recently retired. I was financially able to retire early because the jobs I've held in my career paid well enough to allow me to save adequately. Without my college degree I would still be working, most likely at a lower paying job. My recommendation: Obtain a college degree in a field that is of interest to you, but also in a field that is in demand from the employer's perspective. You work hard and pay a lot for that degree, make it worthwhile!"

"I attended summers only and brought my kids along with me. They went to summer school while I was completing my degree. It was a great experience."

"The faculty in this program is what makes it a step above the rest. They care about you, your education, and your future career. Combining practicum experience with classroom learning, the family and consumer sciences graduate program at Central Washington University really prepares you for your life after graduation, whether in a family studies career or going on to earn your PhD."

"This school provided me with the basics, I just wish it would have been a better experience with less problems. With hard work and good organization it is possible to succeed here."
