Metropolitan State University Reviews

"Small classes more personalized learning, very large campus. More of a commuter school."

"The pro's to my graduate program include the Advanced Dental Therapy need to help diverse and underserved populations. I also enjoy the majority of adult students specializing in particular programs. Students are serious about their learning. The con's to my college would include the expensive cost of living in the Twin Cities."

"I found the variety of classes available online very helpful in pursuing and attaining my degree. Without online classes I would not have been able to complete the program, work and be a full-time mom."

"Pros- This is a rigorous social work program that does a great job of teaching a rounded education following the CSWE's guidelines. The program is also affordable in comparison to other regional accredited social work programs. Cons- Not a great program for working adults. The faculty, advisers, and program administrators seem to lack empathy and support for non-traditional students who have obligations in addition to their schooling, such as family and work."

"It is a fabulous new program offered in Denver. It is close to downtown and central to metro Denver. The staff is passionate about the program and very supportive."

"An affordable education however, the program is still new and discovering itself."

"It is a reasonable state University for Graduate School. You can have a family while going to school."

"The MBA program at Metropolitan State University has been very challenging. I spend about 15-20 hours per week per class. This program can be taken over 5 years (one class per semester). This is very accommodating for people like myself who are working full time and trying to pay for school at the same time. The option to take online classes makes the school very flexible. I have had great experience with the Professors, except for this semester. My current Professor is not from here and he is sometimes hard to communicate with. This school has a very diverse group of students going through the graduate program. I feel that I get a lot out of the classes and the Professors do a really nice job of applying the principals to every day life.Read Less"

"I had a wonderful experience at MSCD and I would recommend this school to anyone!"

"I chose Metropolitan State University for it's competitive price and because I knew some co-workers who were also attending the school for various programs. At the time, it was the only school that offered the degree program that I wanted. The courses have had disproportionate amount of work. Many times, when I take two credit courses, I end up doing the same or more work than I do in four credit courses. Until recently, the professors have been responsive in giving me feedback and guidance about class scheduling, but I noticed a severe drop off in communication for the entire university over the past two semesters. Overall, the school is a great value but if I were to choose again I would like go elsewhere for my degree program.Read Less"

"I am just starting in the Masters Program and completed my Bachelors degree at Metropolitan State. It is an awesome school for life long learning."

"When I enrolled in the Social Work Program at Metropolitan State University it was brand new and needed to weed out a few bugs. For the most part it is a great program and costs far less than others I looked at. I think sometimes the office staff in the social work department is short tempered and overworked. I also really feel that Social work should consider allowing students with undergraduates in Psychology and human services to have advanced standing. I have a BA in Psychology and spent a lot of time board because I had already studied what everyone else was learning. The only thing that kept me busy was the ridiculously long papers and sharing info from my undergraduate books with classmates.Read Less"

"The graduate program at Metro State caters to working adults who want to continue their academic studies."

"The transferability of the SLHS leveling program is great! No other schools offer such a wide variety of options for transfer students."

"Pro - very accessible if have a present job/career. Con - would prefer the opportunity to network more with my classmates."

"Affordable, accessible and flexible. Perfect for non-traditional students, such as working professionals or parents. Good academic support, great location."

"Pros - economical, practical degree program, great faculty. Cons - more scholarship options"

"The program provides classes that prepare you to be a provider in the current market. With its flexible scheduling, It caters to working adults so that one is able to balance school work and life outside of school."

"The school is in down town Denver so it is very close to many things, has great transportation, but is expensive to live in a nice, safe place and does not always feel like a safe campus. Master's program teachers are awesome and it is an acredited program."
