Edinboro University of Pennsylvania Reviews

"Edinboro was great at accommodating my adult learner needs. I was able to take my classes online and then my internship in my local area. Staff were friendly and helpful. Classes were meaningful and helped me feel prepared in my role once I graduated."

"Edinboro University is a fantastic university filled with competent professors that will actually teach you what you need to learn, and more."

"I am currently enrolled in Edinboro University's online Advanced Standing Master's of social work program and I absolutely love it! I would definitely recommend the program to anyone pursuing their MSW. What I love most about the program is its flexibility. What I disliked the most about my undergrad studies was commuting, and with this program I can work on my assignments from the comfort of my own home on my own schedule. There is, however, some hands-on experience at the internship of your choice. I was able to chose any agency in my hometown, provided that I was supervised by someone with an MSW. That is another great component of the program. The curriculum teaches a generalist approach to social work such as mental health, family social work, administration, etc. That way, students learn a variety of different aspects of the practice all while specializing in their specific area of choice at their internship.Read Less"

"College is a great time to learn and explore. Not only are you expanding your education but you learn so much about yourself in the process."

"Wonderful professors, great, flexible online classes"

"Edinboro University has great professors and is one of the top online schools in the country."

"I had a great experience with the personal attention the Dean of the Graduate School and program director gave me. I transferred from another competitive state University and Edinboro really worked with me personally to make this happen. This was my second masters so I definitely have some experience with dealing with large institutions, Edinboro hands down was #1. I found the tuition to be affordable, the staff to be personal and empathetic, and the instruction/curriculum challenging enough. If that's what your looking for Edinboro is a great choice. I realize this experience was personal to me and can't vouch for all but that was my experience.Read Less"

"I am currently in the graduate MSW program online, and have truly enjoyed the program overall. The idea of online classes was not ideal to me. i had been accepted to schools where I could have gone to class, but Edinboro allowed me to continue to save money at home as I finished my degree, instead of moving to a new school/city. The online portal is not too difficult to navigate, and a lot of my classmates are older non traditional students who are changing career paths, are mothers/fathers, or are just finally getting that degree to move up in their careers. I would say that having prior experience in the social service field is definitely beneficial as well.Read Less"

"The program I am taking is completely online. The availability of staff is excellent and the work load is reasonable considering this is a graduate program. The school is responsive to questions from the bursars office to the professors in a timely matter and always kind and professional. I would say the difficult part with any online program is just the lack of face to face communication and clarification of goals."

"Being online is a huge plus, this allows me to not have to move since there isn't a school in my town. The class sizes are reasonable and the professors are more than willing to help students. So far I haven't run into any cons."

"My programs offers great opportunities to succeed in and out of the classroom. My program is Education and Edinboro provides experience to prepare us well for any endeavors we encounter in the future professionally. Although I will admit I was a little apprehensive at the beginning of my program with having classes online, I feel that online classes have allowed me to enrich my educational experience by allowing to me learn on my own, but also interact with my peers and instructor via online discussions.Read Less"

"The pros of the online program are that it allows me to be more flexible with my work schedule. I do not have to worry about sitting in a classroom after working all day. The cons of the online programs are that you do not get the face to face interaction with professors and students."

"My program is only online, so I am not sure of some of the physical aspects of the campus. Overall a great program that allows for flexibility of work."

"The school is great especially for online programs. However, there is little to offer financial assistance for out of state students."

"Pros is that it is totally online and I like personal interactions; cons - at the same time the online program gives me lots of freedom to do my work when and where I can."

"The Educational Psychology online program through Edinboro University is challenging but rewarding. I have learned a lot. The professors are supportive, helpful, and easy to reach. The classwork is fairly easy to fit into my busy schedule."

"I am at the start of my graduate program at Edinboro but I attended the university for my undergrad and many things brought me back. Edinboro's faculty is readily accessible and willing to help and support you. They have numerous online programs and that's the highlight of the Art Therapy graduate program. There are very few in the country, even fewer that can be completed online. This is a growing field with a high need and the school provides an affordable program that is flexible for working individuals. Even to the point where your internship can be worked into your current career. They will also help you find placements for your internship and in the Erie area there are a plethora of organizations. The cons are that if you are trying to enter this field from another major background, you will need to earn studio credits from another school before attending if you work during the day. The school doesn't offer online studio courses and currently only one in the summer. Honestly, though, it's worth it. Edinboro is a great school with diversity and options that are hard to find elsewhere.Read Less"

"I have loved the Educational Leadership program at Edinboro University. I have been doing the entire program online and have been quite successful so far."

"It is known for being a teaching school. I also really like that the program is offered completely online as I am currently employed as a teacher. It works well with my schedule and allows me to have time to do both effectively. Financial Aid is very helpful in finding the funds you need."

"I am online student. The professors are extremely helpful and easy to communicate with. Each unit within the classes has a time frame so you can work at your pace on your own time."
