CUNY Queens College Reviews

"I participated in the Communications-Sciences and Disorders program in CUNY Queens College. I am satisfied with the depth of knowledge I achieved and the professors that taught me. There were a few that stood out more than other that inspired me most."

"The literacy program in Queens College is great. The professors are really supportive and help you during the difficult time of finding a job. Plus, they really prepare you if you wish to be a reading specialist. However, the program is a little expensive while a person is trying to pay rent and work full time. Also, there is a summer course that we must take and we cannot take a loan because it is only one summer session, forcing students to pay on the spot. Aside from that Queens College will get you where you need to go with support.Read Less"

"Great college! Beautiful campus! Better to do important things in person rather than calling the college. With this college I would say that it is very important to focus and study because there is no one to really guide you in your studies. But the overall experience is sound."

"CUNY Queens have me an excellent education. The professors are wonderful and the class sizes vary so much that it is super easy to find the right class for you!"

"Don't waste your time. This school is all about taking your money. Not about delivering a quality education. I spent the last few years taking classes that had nothing to do with my major. Like drama and art. I'm an Economics major for crying out loud. Plus 3 semesters of foreign language. Very little support. The professor's are Racist and uncaring. The school Cates little for military they only care about spending our GI bill. Don't even think about getting any career counseling they counselors in the Economics department are the professors and they are to busy for students.Read Less"

"I'm currently pursuing a master's degree in Mental Health Counseling at Queens College. The faculty and staff are extremely supportive and encouraging. I'm so happy with my decision to pursue my degree here! Graduateprograms.com is an excellent resource for future students interested in pursuing a graduate degree."

"I thought Queens College was amazing. I felt that I had teachers who were experienced about the world, and extremely knowledgeable about their subjects. I really think I got one of the best college educations anywhere. The degree program in Education was special. I was in an Open Education program that is one of the best in the country if not the world. We learned about non-traditional education methods and I student taught at Central Park East Elementary school which was a model school for this method. The Principal there at the time was Deborah Meier, who is world famous for her education reforms. She has written many books on the subject. It is a program that motivated me to be an inspirational educator. The teachers in the program were special, and really cared about us. We all went away to a camp for one week a year to bond with each other, so we really formed a close knit group. One of the teachers there, he was a real pivotal person in my life.Read Less"

"The Sociology Master's Program at Queens College has top-level instructors and motivated students that give me the drive to excel. The only drawback is that the college does not have a rail system nearby. The only means of public transportation to the school is via bus."

"The professors in the history department are passionate in their areas of study and it transmits itself onto the students taking the classes. The professors are approachable and reasonable. The coursework is reasonable and it makes an important part of the material to be learned in class. The master's program offers two tracks for students to take: the research track and the professional track. The professional track is meant for those people who are working and are looking to end their education with a master's degree. The research track is intended for those students who are looking to attain a PhD.Read Less"

"Queens College MFA program in Creative Writing and Translation is led by a great director who cares about the students and wants them to succeed. The faculty are very friendly always willing to help. Overall the environment at Queens College is nice, the campus is beautiful. Classes are held at night and are mainly workshop based. If you are interested in fiction this may not be the program for you as its really geared towards poetry and translation, however you will still learn a great deal of information depending on what professor you take. Workshop can vary from fun to cut throat but overall there is a family aspect that come with being a MFA student at Queens College.Read Less"

"I am thrilled with my graduate program! While other Speech-Language Pathology programs are very research focused, something that is unique to QC's program is that it is very mentor-ship based. Because the faculty emphasizes case-based learning, the graduate students will each have 4-6 clients that they treat along with a licensed supervisor per semester. This provides great experience and will make us much more competent clinicians!"

"The pros for this program is the classes they provide for you to take and the way the program is set up for you to obtain your masters and certification for teaching. Also, this program gives you the option to still work during the day because most of the classes are online or in the evening. The only con I would have to say is that not all the professors are role model teachers and don't make you feel as though teaching is the best."

"The Master’s Degree in Urban Affairs offered by the Department of Urban Studies is both challenging and rewarding. Small class sizes encourage group discussions about issues in urban society. An orientation was held in the summer prior to starting this program in Fall 2013 where students and faculty were able to meet and get to know each other prior to the start of classes. Bonds were made between classmates and instructors that create a fun academic environment. This program is highly recommended to all those looking to pursue a future in government, urban planning, and non profit work.Read Less"

"My graduate program offers great courses at flexible hours. The professors are knowledgeable and experienced and always willing to meet with students individually to discuss classwork and career based questions. The workload is reasonable and prepares students for future work needs. Unfortunately there are not many financial aid options for graduate students."

"The classes in my program are taught by knowledgeable, supportive teachers with years of experience in the field. Class size can be a bit large at times, so it's harder to get individual attention."

"You get what you put into the program. The faculty are great. The career center is not very helpful. You'll have to make connections and use them to help you land a job after graduation."

"it's a great school but without a focus on higher levels of education"

"I am more than pleased with my School Psychology program and Queens College - CUNY. Aside from the affordability of the graduate program, I have never felt such support from all faculty and peers in a graduate or undergraduate program. There is a lot of work, but because of that I feel prepared to enter the workforce as a School Psychologist. All faculty and students help each other along the way without diluting the education. Also, the campus in general, and the program itself, is not only culturally diverse, but differences are embraced so we can learn from one another and learn to help others in the diverse field of education.Read Less"

"Pros include affordability, student diversity, transportation, and school use of technology. Cons include lack of career support, food choice in the vicinity, and student to faculty communication."

"So Far, So Good. Queens College is about an Hour outside of Manhattan in the Subway so it's a Commuter College. The value is incredible if your looking to study with the specific teachers that are on the Music Faculty. The student-teacher ratio is pretty good. It is one of the smaller Jazz Studies Masters programs in NYC. The admin/bureaucracy is a little hard to navigate, but they are helpful if you are patient and don't mind going face-to-face to get things done. The computer/email systems seem a bit antiquated.Read Less"
