Clemson University Reviews

"School with a rich history and bright future. The main campus location makes many appealing aspects of life accessible. A kind and generous community, food, art, culture, as well as outdoor recreation all make living an learning a more full experience."

"I definitely enjoyed my four years at Clemson, but I definitely feel that I could have been more challenged in my field at another school. I chose Clemson because it was the best public in-state school for me, and while I felt very welcome there, there was a definite lack of diversity. A "southern" style Greek life also permeates the campus, which can be appealing to some and annoying to others. Tuition is also very expensive for an in-state school. The facilities are great, and the town is beautiful, but if I had the opportunity to choose again I would have attended a school out of state.Read Less"

"Clemson University Health Science program has something for everyone. Whether you are going to professional school, pursuing healthcare administration, are wanting to promote healthcare, or wanting to be an ultrasound technician, Clemson's Healthcare program sets you up perfectly to get the credentials and certifications you need."

"Clemson's MBA program offers a great starting place to build a career as a leader. The curriculum is intensive and eye opening as well as beneficial to leadership development. In this program you will learn much about yourself and how you interact in society. It will set you up for great success."

"Clemson offered a unique experience, a plethora of opportunities to grow, and an invaluable education which I've leveraged throughout my professional career. The atmosphere and culture differentiate Clemson from other universities- once you are part of Clemson, there is a mentality that you are family and I find that type of community rare. Clemson is unlike any other college out there and I feel grateful for the opportunity to have attended such a communal school."

"I have a major in Biology and I'm also in the Honors college here. I selected Clemson University as well as this emphasis of study to better prepare for attending medical school in the Summer of 2017. Clemson's rigor, opportunities for challenges, resources and comprehensive programs have definitely assisted me on my journey towards a career in healthcare. I have been able to delve into traditional biology and chemistry classes while also having the opportunity to do study abroad, take courses in music, sociology and even religion. I think the Clemsons combination of rigor and flexibility to take courses outside my major has been instrumental in making me a more inquisitive and well-rounded pre-medical student.Read Less"

"The Master of Public Administration (MPA) program at Clemson focuses on research and public policy involving social equity. The MPA program closely mirrors my work in public policy and address aspects of social determinants that affect the health of an entire community. I desired a deeper understanding of societal problems and to analyze, if not inspire, solutions. Clemson offers the opportunity to develop expertise in public policy programming, research, evaluation, data collection, networking and social equity. The MPA program supports innovative and professional development among future public administrators. I plan to use my Clemson degree to develop a multi-pronged cohesive strategy that identifies the social determinants of health, which are the key drivers of inequities in health outcomes.Read Less"

"I loved Clemson. The school is big enough to have a lot of resources, but not so big that you just feel like a number. I really felt a connection to the professors in my program."

"Although the program was only one year long, by the end the faculty, staff, and my classmates felt like family."

"It felt like home. It was so welcoming and I enjoyed Clemson more than I ever thought I would. It's a beautiful area, but is quickly becoming overcrowded and traffic/parking is an issue. It's a great place to study science and engineering."

"Overall I would rate my time there as a 3.5 out of 5. When I was accepted to Clemson. I ended up graduating with a BS in Marketing. As a freshman I began as a Business major and in order to continue coursework for my degree, I had to place into the Marketing Program with a 3.0 and keep it. The curriculum was rigorous with 3 levels of calculus, 3 levels of accounting, 2 levels of finance and one required applied science, in which I chose Human Biology. The instructors were relatively knowledgeable of the courses they taught, but the teaching style was difficult to follow for certain classes, and little help was offered if I fell short of understanding. Diversity of students on Clemsons campus is still lacking. During the time I was there, the most diversity was seen on the football team and rare glimpses of exchange students leaving Jordan Hall (engineering building). The majority of the student population is white, and right before I graduated, the African American student population grew to about 6%. The lack of diversity makes it hard to feel an inclusive culture, but the one thing that I felt brought us all together was football. As far as services offered to students: financial services were always difficult to deal with and career advising and networking opportunities were slim to none unless you were an engineering major. I am overall satisfied with my degree and feel that it set a stable foundation for my understanding of marketing. As an alumni of Clemson, I've found that opportunities for networking have been a lot better post graduation. I do believe the school is doing better now and continues to strive for change.Read Less"

"Overall, Clemson University's Accounting program is rigorous. Most professors are more than willing to work with you to aid in your learning. You also emerge very prepared to network and succeed in the professional world. There is also a Master's program for those pursuing a CPA license that have not yet met the hours requirement for the license. Most of the upper level courses are challenging, and require students to dedicate a large number of hours to each of them in order to be successful."

"The academic program also allows for an on-campus experience. The classes are interactive and allows the professor to separate students into group for discussions through way of technology. The faculty are experienced, knowledgeable, a encourage student success."

"Clemson's MAE program is most challenging because it is consistently enlightening, professors serve as tools in your journey. The program is relatively small, which creates immediate companions that you can build lasting academic relationships with."

"The best school ever, fun, great education, very helpful"

"The pros of my graduate program are convenience, flexibility, and affordability. The cons would be the amount of work for professionals."

"Clemson University tries to provide quality graduate education. It is continuing to update its curriculum to match top universities. However, there are a lot of works to be done. For example, there are a lack of proper and modern equipment in several engineering department. As it is a remote place, the supplies of engineering facilities are not good. Finally, the amount of assistantship should be increased to provide the graduate students better economical support."

"Great school. Everyone is very friendly. The population is small enough to feel like everyone is connected, but big enough to where you are meeting new people all the time. The Parks, Recreation and Tourism Department has a lot of really great professors who are very influential in the field. You can receive a great education there if you want it or you can "Party Right Through May." It's what you put in."

"Clemson has a beautiful campus and the "Clemson family" is definitely a real thing. Soon after arrival, you get the feeling that everyone is glad to be there and glad that you are there as well. Clemson takes education seriously, so you get a good value by going there (especially if you're in state). We also take football seriously, and it's a great environment on game day. Clemson is also situated in the beautiful South Carolina upstate with scenic mountains and lakes in close proximity. I can't imagine my college experience any other way.Read Less"

"As part of the Master's program in Economics at Clemson University, I was initially surprised to find how most of my courses were in undergraduate classes, but just with an added master's component to the course. Any courses that do not include undergraduates, are filled with PhD students. To me, it seems as though there is really not a tailored master's degree program. However, despite that, the professors have been enormously helpful and are always willing to talk with you about any concerns you may have.Read Less"
