Degree: Cybersecurity

First of all, I would like to state that FHSU is not a terrible school by any means, in fact, there are many redeeming qualities to this school. For example, both mentors I had were on top of it and even helped me graduate a semester early. I also have no complaints with the administrative departments. Not once did I have to wait an excessive amount of time to receive an answer to a question I might have, or trouble enrolling in courses. Even after I took a semester off I was able to jump back into... Read More

Degree: Business Administration

Residential life and housing here is a joke run by absolute clowns, departments don't answer calls and instead choose to use have you talk to a robot, and the cafeteria food is about as bad as the Griswald's family Thanksgiving. The campus is becoming beyond overcrowded as the president is trying to raise attendance rates, but the limited parking has not changed, and campus police are more than happy to write you a ticket for just about anything they can, seems as if they also have a quota.

Blackboard sites always have errors. The professors are unkind. They don't have a desire for education, they just keep saying the same thing. It's very unkind to teach the course. I don't know how professors became professors, but I don't think they are qualified. It's a really crappy school.

I enjoyed the classes I took however, the guidance counselor I was assigned was very rude and unprofessional. She didn’t want to guide me in anything. She told me instead of depending on her for answers I should look it up. That is what I was initially doing but someone from the school emailed me and said I was taking the incorrect courses so they sent me her for answers. I asked her if there was anyone else I could talk to. She refused to let me speak to anyone else until I became impatient with... Read More

Degree: Computer Science

Went to the online BS in CS program for a second degree (first is in Biology from Kansas State). The program is super affordable, and while the learning is largely self-study/self-directed, the curriculum is solid. I was able to land an internship at Boeing and got a full time offer for this fall. If you're willing to work at it, and use other learning resources (APress books, YouTube, Kahn Academy) you'll do fine. If you expect your hand to be held, you're in for a rough ride. A lot of my classmates... Read More

I loved pursing a degree in Speech-Language Pathology at Fort Hays. The faculty were always eager to assist me and help me succeed, especially my academic advisor. I thought the curriculum was very well-rounded and has prepared me well for grad school and my future career. This being said, I wish I had received more assistance in seeking out opportunities for undergraduate research. At Fort Hays I found it easy to get involved, make friends, and attain leadership positions. There was always something... Read More

Degree: Sociology

I started as an on-campus English major with a writing concentration. As an adult learner, I was also working fulltime. I even took 12 credit hours each summer. My job at the time had me take over and work as the "general manager" which I wasn't. My instructors were understanding, but after having to miss so many classes because of working at a corporate motel I had to drop that semester. I was then put on financial aid suspension, and even appealed it twice, and my area manager even wrote a letter... Read More

Experience everything you can and connect with those you meet as the contacts you make in college can help you throughout your career. Overall college is a very rewarding experience in which you get out what you put in.

Great online programs with dedicated instructors. Graduate level courses are not easy, demanding but manageable. Unfortunately, my adviser changed a few times but they were all helpful and reachable. It is definately a cost effective school with a good ROI.

I absolutely loved this school and the education it provided. The small community and classes allowed me to establish great relationships with my professors and classmates. These relationships allowed me to get a quality education while being a student athlete. It was overall a rewarding experience.

I really enjoyed my time at FHSU. I decided to pursue my education through the virtual school. All of my classes were online. The professors were extremely understanding and the staff was helpful. Best of all, the tuition was extremely affordable. There are many different majors to choose from. I don't regret my time at FHSU, and would recommend it to anyone who is interested in a degree online.

I enjoyed my masters degree experience at Fort Hays State University. My classes mainly took place online, but there were a few classes that required us to meet for a weekend of hands on experience. The way the program is set up allowed students who lived further away to obtain their degree, and gain experience in the classroom with little inconvenience.

The Biology Department is like its own community. When I went for my interview, I was immediately welcomed by the faculty and students. It is a small department but I like that because everyone knows each other and we create a family. There is ample support from older students and professors are always willing to talk and help you out. My advisor is really into his lab and each week we have a lunch meeting to catch up on everything. I have an assistantship but a con about that is that I have to drive... Read More
