Minot State University Reviews

"The Communication Arts department at Minot State University gave me an amazing educational experience. Because the school size is smaller than most, I was able to work closely with faculty and peers and develop helpful, professional relationships with them. The small school size also allowed my professors to get to know my work personally and help guide my abilities to where I wanted them. I was also able to get into student reporting which at a larger school is very difficult. The adviser for the student newspaper was also a professor that I had for a few classes so she knew how much I cared about feminist issues; because of this, she offered me many opportunities to write on topics that I truly cared about like rape culture which shaped my experience in a field I truly care about. Professors are more than willing to cater to students' needs and passions.Read Less"

"This school staff and office personnel are not very helpful, they are very rude and will act like you are bothering them no matter your questions. This seems to be common at all of the schools in and around the Minot area. It is pretty sad that not only myself, but others I saw in the offices were treated like they were stupid for not knowing their own answers about financial aid or where certain classrooms were. The whole school/campus left me feeling like I wished I could have went somewhere else.Read Less"

"A bit too easy. Good school for online classes, though"

"Minot state university is a small school that offers very personalized teaching. The school has quality professors and offers a good academic environment. If you are putting education above all other factors this is a good school for you."

"Pros: 1. Will provide me a variety of career search in the near future. 2. Expand my knowledge in Information Systems 3. Learning new concept of Visualization Cons: 1. There are no cons."

"Minot State University, specifically the Criminal Justice Program, has undergone a series of drastic changes. Some of those changes were at the expense of the students, including accessibility to our professors and the amount of classes we could take. However, I would not trade all the people I met in undergrad at a top 20 university for the friends and colleagues I have met at MSU. We banded together to work on our theses, get together to drink wine and discuss criminological theory (we're all over 21, no crimes here!) and participated as graduate research assistants. This first year of graduate school was an invaluable experience for me, not only in an academic sense, but in teaching my that I overcome adversity pretty darn well.Read Less"

"I chose Minot State University because I had heard from several sources that it has one of the best reputations for the SLP and Special Education graduate programs that are offered. Having now experienced this, gotten to know the professors and staff, and felt the pressures of a graduate course load, I believe that these claims are true - it really is a fabulous school for graduate study. There are many resources available to help the students do the best that they can and the program itself is fairly flexible, allowing the courses to be structured to fit a two or three year plan. The only negative I can think of is that it was somewhat difficult to get through the application process, as an international student (from Canada). It seemed as though many of the initial steps in this process required physical forms to be dropped off in person, so there was a lot of emailing back and forth and post office visits during that time while we tried to figure everything out. Obviously everything got sorted out in the end, and I would still recommend the school and program to prospective international grad students despite the initial hurdles.Read Less"
