Everglades University Reviews of Master's in Public Health

Graduating from Everglades University's Master's Degree program in Public Health with a Concentration in Alternative and Complementary Medicine in 2019, my overall experience was positive, though it falls short of being labeled as excellent. The program offered a well-rounded curriculum that effectively combined traditional public health concepts with alternative medicine approaches, providing a unique perspective on healthcare. The faculty demonstrated a genuine interest in the subject matter, and... Read More their availability for consultations was appreciated. However, there were occasional instances where certain courses felt less engaging, lacking the depth I anticipated. While some professors were exceptional, others could have brought more practical insights into the classroom.

I decided on Everglades as I wanted to learn how to live a healthier lifestyle. Specifically, I chose the Masters in Public Health Administration program because it allowed me the ability to receive dual Master’s degree in the areas of Complementary and Alternative Medicine and Functional Nutrition. About 21 years ago, I was a person that used to fear college – I can now confidently say that after finishing my degrees, I have overcome that fear. My professors, Dr. Torchia and Dr. Pittman served as... Read More inspirations for me during my degree program, especially when it proved challenging. As my educational journey comes to a close, I can confidently say that Everglades will always have a special place in my heart.

I enrolled at EU, because they offered programs and classes that interested me on a personal level and I was drawn to the smaller scale of its institution. There were obstacles during my program, but the staff and faculty (Dr. McPherson, Dr. Cooks) always showed genuine concern with my progress, while still offering enough space to learn and succeed on my own. EU brought me opportunities for professional development, new perspectives, self-satisfaction, and a continuous drive to strive for improvement.... Read More I have now transferred from the food/retail industry to mental health care, surrounding eating disorders I want to thank the wonderful staff of Everglades University for supporting me in both accountability and encouragement throughout my education.

During my time at Everglades, I had a series of family crises that arose, and my professors were incredibly supportive. The professors really do care, and while they wanted me to succeed and complete my education, they expressed genuine concern for me as a person and for my wellbeing. I think that’s what stood out and why it is so incredibly rewarding for me to have attended and received my Master’s degree from Everglades University. I began my journey with the University in Fall of 2020 and had... Read More been working as a Registered Nurse. While at EU, I took an Epidemiology course (also my favorite course), and I was later surprised with the offer of a new role: Infection Preventionist. This was a new position offered to me during Covid, and due to the material I had learned and retained in the Epidemiology course, I was able to excel in this new position.

After receiving a degree in Holistic Nutrition, I wanted to learn more about alternative medicine. After researching, I found that not many schools offered it. I found EU, and I was able to transfer credits from my previous education. There were many instructors who have helped to change my life, but I would say most all of them. Dr Appiah and Dr. Vakiaros come to mind first because they have been my instructors in this degree. To help me succeed and overcome obstacles, Dr. Abby has been a huge encouragement...

I am currently working in my field at Seminole Integrative Medicine. It is great for me to be able to work in a field I am passionate about.

My experience with Everglades University and staff has been very positive and educational as I earned my degrees. I found my study of the many aspects of Alternative Medicine to be very fascinating and in demand today. The instructors were very knowledgeable and up to date with the latest technology in this rapidly expanding field of study. There were times when life got in the way and staff and instructors were very supportive. The Counselor was very good at helping me to see the possibilities of... Read More how I can use my degree and expand to other possibilities. The financial advisor was very helpful in finding funds to continue my education. I would recommend Everglades University for students looking to increase their education.

Having looked for Universities that would allow me the opportunity to work, care, provide, and help me further my education at a graduate level, seemed almost impossible to me. Luckily, I found Everglades University Online. There was nothing short of an onsite campus experience, I had excellent instructors, excellent academic support, and I was involved in workshops that gave me leadership skills, I met new classmates, and felt as involved as I would have been in an onsite campus. the greatest opportunity... Read More is that all of this was virtual and I still had all the time I needed to be here for my family and continue to work. I am now a graduate with a Masters Degree and so proud of my accomplishments and promotion that came with earning this degree. Thank you, Everglades University.

When I met with the recruiter in 2018, she was very easy to speak with and encouraging, she did not rush or bombard me with unnecessary pamphlets but rather just took the time to see where my goals lie and how Everglades University could help an from that point I was sold. I am now graduating with my Masters in Public health. I also had to take a few semesters off due to illness and would you believe the faculty from professor to dean showed support and encourage me with kind and motivating words... Read More and helped me to get back on track the minute I started school again. I don't know the words to use to command this university for its professional professors, highly qualified and highly trained and very student oriented admin staff . I would recommend everyone to become a student at Everglades University where Education takes precedence and catering to the success after graduation is key." Stacy-Ann Williams

I transferred in general courses from a community college and received my B.S. in Alt. Med. with EU. Then they talked me into pursuing my Master's in Public Health Admin. I really had no complaints about EU until recently and I've been with them since 2014. As soon as I joined the military, my needs changed as did my relationship with the school. I was now in need of a VA Rep. which the school does not offer despite claiming to be military friendly. I don't understand how a school can accept government... Read More funds yet have no rep. to assist their military/veteran students in getting these funds applied. In addition, I was cut orders twice (once for training and the 2nd time for deployment) and both times I was forced to withdraw from the school as my leave would exceed their leave of absence time frame. What school doesn't allow active military students to put their degree on hold for a deployment?!!!! I've never even heard of that! I had to pay a 2nd application fee to come back to the school after the first set of orders ended and then they wanted me to do it a 3rd time after my deployment. To top it off, while deployed, I received weekly phone calls from the school asking if I'd like to return to school to finish my degree because I'm merely just a wallet in their eyes and they couldn't be bothered to take notes on my situation to avoid looking stupid after forcing me to leave then asking when I'm coming back. They even sent a generic email to my SCHOOL email advertising the schools programs as if I was just some prospective student that had never attended. I'm now $90k in the hole for a B.S. that I'm not using and a partial Master's in Public Health Admin. that is not CEPH accredited (just found that out). A CEPH accreditation is not mandatory but, you may find yourself struggling to get a job post graduation without it. I'm so frustrated with the school in every way and now I'm going through the transfer process like someone after a bad relationship skeptical of literally every other online MPH program I come across.

I am a two time graduate of Everglades University. I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Complementary and Alternative Medicine in August 2017. I received my Master of Public Health Administration with a concentration in Complementary and Alternative Medicine in December 2019.

I am applying the knowledge that I received through Everglades to my professional and personal life with family, friends, colleagues, and social media.

I started Everglades in January of 2019. I was looking for a program where I could finish my Master's in Public Health Administration within a decent amount of time. I work full time and online classes were much more convenient for me. I was able to complete in in a year going full time. The professors were helpful and it was pretty smooth throughout my time here at Everglades. I would definitely recommend others to go here! The individual attention given to the students helped with the support I... Read More needed to be successful!

Everglades University is perfect for the students regardless of your prior academic background. On Campus and online class sizes typically range from 5-20 students, courses are completed one class at a time (1 class/month) while remaining in a full-time status. I am a single parent, employed full-time (work travel: 10 days/month), and I am completing my Master in Public Health Administration.
