Georgia State University Reviews

"My graduate program was designed to be an advanced degree to build upon the fundamentals a student had from their previous undergraduate institution. I received a bachelor degree in Sports Medicine from a respectable institution . However I found that my undergraduate program prepared me for an extra level position better than my graduate program did. Upon completion of my graduate degree I found myself no more intellectually advanced then when I first started the program. After all had been said and done I have a masters degree that did not further me in any means whether financially, intellectually, or in an occupational manner."

"The Andrew Young School of Policy Studies at Georgia State University has offered me a challenging and thorough program in Public Administration. I am half-way through the program and have been the most impressed with the community connections the school has offered. I routinely have the opportunity to attend panels, lunches, meet & greets, and mixers with high level professionals working in the field of local government and nonprofits. The professors are challenging yet supportive and very flexible. The facilities have offered everything I've needed, and my program has been centrally located on campus, convenient to offices and student services. I'm very pleased with my experience at GSU."

"The community psychology program at Georgia State University is excellent. This approach to addressing environmental context instead of one individual at a time to make sure communities are health as a whole person makes for a better use of resources and stronger communities and environments. It is similar to the public health approach to health. This program is rigorous and research based but also has a number of courses on practical applied, implementation based approaches. This degree helped prepare me for a career in population based public health programs and evaluation to improve programs and provide information for decision making and program improvement."

"Number one business school in the south and a top churner of talent into Atlanta's economy."

"College was the most fun I every had. As long as you can manage to maintain solid grades, there is no reason you can't have a lot of fun."

"I really appreciated the opportunities afforded to me by Georgia State University. It is a wonderful, exciting, growing school with a diverse student body and supportive faculty and staff."

"it was a thrilling experience. i was changed forever. the classes were involving, the professors were well versed and the student camaraderie was helpful."

"Georgia State University is incredible. You will meet great people who will become life-long friends. Georgia State was the reason why I got a great job right out of graduate school."

"Georgia State University has a great Early Childhood Education program. One of the main reasons I like it is because you earn an endorsement while you are getting your Masters. I chose to get my mathematics and support/coaching endorsement. I have already seen a difference in my ability to teach children. Last school year when I was enrolled in the math classes all of my students improved their end of the year Iowa scores. I was so happy that my investment was paying off so fast!"

"The location of the school is great and there is always something to do. There are a good amount of safety problems since it is in the city. A wide range of students regarding age and ethnicity. I would recommend this school for anyone that wants a good education and enjoys being in a big city."

"The College of Education at Georgia State University is a great school. I went there both undergraduate and graduate. The faculty is helpful and personable. Most of them are doctors, but you never feel like you are beneath them . They promote hands on, cooperative learning which allows you to network with other educators in your area. I have learned a lot not only from my professors but from my classmates as well. The curriculum was relevant and useful in my career. It has provided me with the skill set needed to be a confident and successful educator."

"Went to Robinson School of Business. The professors have great research experience; student body is very diverse with ppl from all ethnic backgrounds and from international countries and the alumni network is huge and helpful. The school has highly reputable Finance and MIS departments; their actuarial sciences program is also well respected in the industry. Had a great experience at the school; also the degree helps you in advancing in your career especially if you are based in the SouthEast area where the school is well-known."

"Georgia State University is a great university. I am proud to be a Panther. During my time in my program, I acquired the skills and knowledge necessary for law school. A traditional school atmosphere and city flair makes a well rounded experience."

"Georgia State University is good public research university. I highly recommend their business and economics schools. Really great faculty in those colleges and tuition waivers are available to most grad students. It is the "concrete campus" of Atlanta since the university is located right in downtown along with other businesses with no real campus. It is a diverse university which is also great. Their HR can be a bit confusing with paperwork - especially if you are getting assistantship - and cause major delays, hence it is a good idea to check in with them regularly when you are about to start the program."

"Georgia State is a great school for everyone. It has a variety of classes and degrees and a diverse student body."

"Good experience. Professors in the business school are typically also in the corporate workforce so they have valuable real world expertise and examples."

"The Andrew Young School at Georgia State University is an excellent program for students seeking degrees in Public Policy. The program combines both theory and practical education very well. The internship course is an added benefit for students, allowing them to get real-world experience while earning college credit. I greatly enjoyed my time at GSU and recommend it to others."

"Georgia State University has a very diverse student body. The campus is situated in center of a vibrant city with secure parking areas. The teachers in the art department are truly amazing. They are passionate about their professions and have been on faculty for many years. Their commitment to their students and school is evident."

"I enjoyed Georgia State thoroughly because it was in the city of Atlanta with plenty of nearby events and opportunities. For instance being in a business oriented city when it's time to find internships for your final semester there were plenty to choose from . The school has great lasting relationships with many places also giving the students more opportunities to grow. They have grad school fairs , job fairs, internship fairs. Anything you need as far as continuing towards your career path they have a fair that brings hundreds of companies in one place for you to reach out to them. I personally chose my degree because it had a lot of prerequisites for graduate school . I am now going to UAB Birmingham for Occupational Therapy. Georgia State career services helped me write all my papers and finish my applications. if I would've went earlier they could have connected me with different internships so I could receive more shadow hours for school ."

"Georgia State University is located in the heart of Atlanta, that fact alone honestly scared me. Between the constant traffic and the hassle of finding parking, I knew that attending any major University would be a feat, however, I did not take into consideration the financial aid, housing, and counseling facets of school. This did not deter me from continuing my education, and I am glad that I stuck with this University. Although I faced some hardships I can say that my professors really cared about me and my success through out my matriculation. I absolutely loved my department, and the help they offered. I would recommend the speech department to anyone, you learn more about yourself and others, how and why majority of people interact and communicate, and it honestly helped me be more aware of myself, and the actions I take. There will be challenges in everything you do in life, but I can say that Georgia State University was worth the long waits in the financial aid line, and finding a parking space at Turner Field."
