Metropolitan State University of Denver Reviews

"This program is an abject farce. My time was wasted being subjected to the inane musings of social justice warriors with no respect for anyone's time or any perspectives beyond their own. Out of the 60 credit hours in my degree, I can count on one hand the number of courses that actually taught social work skills. The rest was $40,000 demagoguery. This is a degree mill that is irresponsibility graduating students who have no business practicing social work. I am a year into being full-time in the field, and I have had to learn virtually everything on the fly.Read Less"

"This program is completely disorganized, inconsistent, and unprofessional. The instructors on the other hand are exceptional. Administration is where it falls flat. If finances are your limitation (as they were for me) then unfortunately this is your place. If you have a choice then I would highly recommend searching other Grad programs. They use their students for political pawns during legislative sessions disguised as course curriculum, they have varying standards of who they help with licensure and who they decide to go through the already tedious Colorado process. The program as a whole is mediocre for the sole purpose that the instructors are great. Again, its an administrative black hole. Be forewarned...Read Less"

"I attended Metropolitan State University of Denver from 2007-2012. I entered MSUD after being homeschooled throughout high school, and I had no idea what the college experience would be like. I found MSU Denver to be an incredibly warm, helpful and challenging institution. I enjoyed courses from all departments, but found my place in the Social Work department. The social work department had fantastic faculty and professors who were invested not only in what was happening in classes, but how each student was developing as a professional. I felt inspired in classrooms, and excited to attend every week. Social Work requires a heavy amount of reading, writing, assessment of documents, policies and societal barriers: You will be intellectually and emotionally challenged. Get ready to do some growing! I was provided excellent volunteer opportunities and internships during my time in the program, which undoubtedly led me to incredible jobs after college including Denver Health, National Jewish, Peace Corps, and at a school-health program in NYC. I am now living outside of Colorado, and will be attending graduate school at NYU this fall. MSU Denver was a wonderful undergraduate experience that gave me all of the tools and skills I needed to find a fulfilling career in social work. Thank you MSUDenver/Social Work (and Hi D. M.! You Rock!)Read Less"

"Social Work at Metropolitan State University was a very good education with excellent professors. I feel that I was well prepared to join the field upon completion. Cons are they were very disorganized and they were not many opportunities to network or to be counseled on career options. I also felt that their research courses did not adequately prepare me for masters level research."
