Lewis University Reviews

"It was easy, nice teachers too. I feel like my school did not help with work placement."

"I am currently pursuing my Master's degree in Clinical and Mental Health Counseling at Lewis University. My experience in the program thus far has been astounding. My professors, who have all had extensive experience in the field, are approachable and always willing to help. I feel well equipped in my field of study due to the courses I have had the pleasure of taking. The only disadvantage is the limited scholarships available for this program."

"Pros- the professors and advisors are available and willing to help you out at all times. They are very understanding, and really make sure that you are prepared for life after the program."

"In my opinion, I feel the courses are both challenging and insightful. The professors are very knowledgable of the field. I do feel I am getting the necessary education to prepare me for my future in counseling. The only drawback is the availability of the courses. Some courses are only available one semester out of the year."

"I love that the teachers really care about their students and are always available to help. They are also very understanding and want the best for their class. What I have learned at Lewis has definitely helped me in the real world."

"Lewis University is a community of passionate and accessible experts who carefully balance research-based pedagogy and androgogy with the practical authority of experience. The graduate program prepared me to bring the theory of critical, transformative education to my administrative career immediately"

"Lewis University provides the perfect blend of quality professors and students working within the field of study to assist adult learners achieve at high levels. The immediate feedback received helps students take what is being learned and put it into immediate action. Lewis gave me the chance to grow as a professional while providing the opportunity to prove not only to myself but to my undergraduate institution that the grade point average I achieved was not indicative of the kind of student I am capable of being."

"pro - flexible class times con - can take longer to graduate because of limited class per program"

"Chance to Work with Professors As a graduate student, you will find many opportunities to work with professors. Working with professors will provide excellent work experience in your specialized field of study and most likely you will get paid in the form of financial aid or a stipend. Learn More About a Subject You Enjoy Of course this is assuming you enjoy the subject you are considering going to graduate school for. You'll get to study subjects much more in depth than you did in undergraduate courses. Earn a Higher Salary On average, students with graduate degrees earn a higher salary than students with only a bachelors degree. Many jobs now prefer to hire applicants with graduate degrees, and so a graduate degree could present a job opportunity unavailable to undergraduates. Cons More School Many students are/were aching to finish up undergraduate studies, and the thought of five more years in college to earn a doctorate degree just isn't very appealing. Cost of Graduate School Graduate school can be expensive if you don't have any source of financial aid. Contact prospective graduate schools to find out what is available. Stress Graduate school can be stressful for some because of the depth at which graduate students study their subject."

"Pros: From what I know, and have heard, it's very in touch with the students needs, as far as preparing them for future careers. The instructors all have varied backgrounds, and offer insightful perspectives on how to do well as a counselor/therapist and are always available to discuss personal questions, class work, or inquiries into the field."

"Great school especially for nursing and flight."
