Emporia State University Reviews

"Very poor experience so far. Instructors were not very experienced and seemed to blame the class for a lack of organization on their part. Instructors use poor text books that have incorrect logic and definitions included, yet if your deviate from the text to look up the correct definition, or even just use a definition that you have previously memorized, you may be accused of cheating. Any "out of the box" proofs were also suspected of cheating. My instructors have always told me my proofs were out of the box and it was something I was once proud of. In these classes I'm terrified that if my proofs are not normal I will be accused of cheating. The registration process is also, as another reviewer stated, a "disaster." I'm currently trying out another university but I may have to take more classes from Emporia. If I do and they are of a higher quality I will happily change my review.Read Less"

"I highly recommend this online mathematics graduate program at Emporia State University. The professors are engaged in your learning and respond to your emails. Some professors teach hybrid classes, others simply have weekly online video chats, and others create tutorial PDFs that lead you through learning. What they have in common is that they are good at teaching math."

"I thought I knew Math until I started taking classes at ESU. The program is strong and it gave me a deep understanding of mathematics that has helped me in my job as a math teacher. The program is proofs heavy. At the beginning I was afraid but while developing proofs I learned all the ins and outs of every theorem I had been exposed to, during my undergraduate work. I only wish they offered a PHD degree."

"I was leery of any graduate math program - how do you learn math online?? This program has proved me wrong! Emporia has figured out a wonderful system for online learning of mathematics using a combination of video, office hours, notes, and message boards. Professors are very supportive and available. The tuition was the most reasonable for an accredited degree. The work load can be difficult but on par with graduate level work. The available courses cover a wide range of topics. I highly recommend this degree program for anyone interested in an online graduate degree in math!Read Less"

"Some professors are exactly my style, and others are not. But they all push you to do very well. The distance aspect of the distance program is done perfectly. It feels like you are in a classroom watching a lecture, and you can even participate and ask questions. In fact, it is expected that you do so:)"
