  • Degree: Economics
"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."

  • Degree: Early Childhood Education
"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."

  • Degree: Sociology
"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."

  • Degree: History
"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."

  • Degree: Creative Writing
"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."

"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 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."

  • Degree: School Psychology
"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."

"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."

"This school is very affordable but you get what you pay for! There is no help, no networking and no mentoring! If you have any questions be prepared to run around the whole school just to be at the same place where you started. I think some of the Proffesor's are well qualified while others you just can not help to wonder how did they get their jobs! If I had a chance to do it all over again I would never even consider Queens college it is very unorganized and I feel that all they want Is my money and do not care if I graduate on time or if I am paying for it on my own! I was very disappointed in my experience here and wouldn't recommend Queens college to my worst enemy!"

"I wish my graduate program gave me the option of finishing it in 1 year like other graduate schools with a Childhood Special Education program. They are capping me off at 1-2 classes a semester, which I think is ridiculous. Also, I wish I had the option of a dual degree in Early Childhood and Childhood Special Education. Otherwise, I've had a great experience with my courses, professors and peers in my program."

"Tell us about your college experience.Yes. It was a generally good school. You just have to reach out and get involved.Would you get the same degree if you could start over?Maybe BusinessWhat advice can you offer other students?Look for a school that is specific to what you may be interested. And if you don't know. Do not waste money and get yourself in debt on a school that just has a name. Going to a CUNY or SUNY is a great choice."
