Notre Dame de Namur University Reviews

"The professors are great, they were always prepared to teach. I had a great experience with all the professors, even if it were a tough class, they did their best to go over and beyond to help me conceptualize and comprehend the material. I can actually say I retained alot of the information because the teachers simplified the course in ways that made me understand and that I could apply to my current career. I am excited to graduate from this great school."

"NDNU has been a wonderful learning environment. It has allowed for so much personal and professional growth, all of which has occurred in a positive and friendly setting. I felt comfortable raising my hand and participating in amazing conversations which pushed me to think out side of my comfort zone."

"The professors ability to keep the students intrigued in every course was stupendous. I was able to get my work done and still have time to prepare for my practicum. I was able to network with licensed MFT and licensed clinical psychologists. Being able to ask questions to my professors was helpful."

"The Clinical Psychology program at Notre Dame de Namur University is one of a kind! This program provides a rigorous academic environment with a collaborative and supportive community! This collaborative community also accelerates the process of networking and forming new professional relationships as everyone is eager to collaborative with one another. The students are excited to learn and the professors are engaging and enthusiastic! ! All of our professors are professionals in the field which brings excellent insight for class discussions. It's a highly motivating culture with a very welcoming community! I would without a doubt recommend this program to anyone who wants to be successful in the field of psychology."

"College was an intensive evening class and the instructors were great. But, the Financial Aid Office was horrible in helping and completing time sensitive issues there was always a delay or you missed the deadline. Not a fan or happy with the financial aid office was the only problem."

"The professors, staff, and students were caring and dedicated. It was a much - cherished experience. The campus was maintained and attractive. There was cultural diversity within the staff, as well as within the student participants. There were opportunities to experience diverse interests, such as science, arts, politics, sports, health, community, and so forth. In closing, there were opportunities that fostered memorable personal connections."

"The diversity and support that the Art Therapy Department has enables a mature student like myself to achieve a Masters degree in a relatively short time. I am extremely pleased with all aspects of the program and am considering furthering my education with the PhD program."

"The Art Therapy Program at NDNU is unlike any of its kind in that you are able to study both Art Therapy and Marriage and Family Therapy, which really increases your chances of finding a job after school. I'm so glad I chose this program. I'm graduating soon and feel already well-connected to the art therapy and marriage and family community in the Bay Area. NDNU graduates of this program seem to have a great reputation to professionals who are familiar with the Art Therapy Program. NDNU's campus is in a beautiful location and is very small. It's still catching up to the times, particularly technologically. The internet is often down and the library needs to be updated, but the librarians are extremely helpful. The graduate student tuition has increased 3 times since I've attended NDNU, but I haven't seen any improvements made to the art therapy building. Hopefully this is something that will happen soon?"

"The program I am currently enrolled in is very intriguing. The only down side to the education provided is the technology. The technology at our school is not good at all. I wish there was a way for our tuition money to improve the technology. Other than the technology aspect, the program itself is very stimulating and has provided me with a lot of useful information that I hope to use after I graduate."

"The teachers care about each student and puts a lot of effort into making sure you learn and are prepared for the outside world."

"Pro: You get to help patients. Con: They don't offer a PHD in clinical psychology."

"Good school, helpful staff. Great motivating atmosphere."

"I work full time and I am in the Clinical Psychology, MFT, LPCC programs. I attended NDNU for undergrad as well. I love the small classroom sizes and the individual support. Most classes are only either offered every Fall or every Spring. This makes it difficult to increase my class load. For example, if a class is full that is only offered in the Spring, I need to wait to the following Spring to take it. This has been an ongoing issue for me and has prolonged my graduation year a bit longer. I wish more classes were offered for each class."

"I have been very satisfied with my graduate school experience so far. I have enjoyed my professors and feel safe on campus."

"Very supportive program, and by far it has over exceeded my educational expectations."

"Most of all I enjoy the small class sizes the graduate program at my school offers. The work load is also manageable, which is vital given most if not all of my peers work full time. The campus itself is not up to date technology wise, and the classrooms have not been renovated in many years. I would like to see more career services offered at my school, to aide current students looking for full time work in fields they are currently studying. The courses I have taken thus far in my graduate program I know will be useful upon graduation, assuming I find a career in the field I am studying. Graduate counselors have always been helpful and have taken the time to map out remaining credits needed before graduation in a way that makes students not feel overwhelmed. Most if not all the professors I have had the opportunity to be enrolled with have all been extremely intelligent, caring, and determined to see their students succeed. Entering graduate school at my particular campus was one of the best decisions I have made thus far as a student."

"The program needs more hands on work that will prepare students for the real world. Also I believe the school doesn't refer back to the books, students have to purchase books for each class but hardly ever do we review material."

"The pros of this graduate program is that the content and quality of education is high and the classroom size is small. Because of these two factors, I have been able to learn more from my fellow classmates but most of all from the professor. The cons of being in this program which is the MSM program is that the MSM is still not widely popular in the US. I do believe that this program will grow in demand, as its content is very pertinent to today's changing business environment."

"I am very pleased with my decision to attend NDNU. Notre Dame de Namur University is a very supportive environment. Teachers and other faculty are always available and willing to help. The faculty have made working on my masters that much easier by assisting me with all of the necessary paperwork. I feel like the NDNU campus is like one big family always willing to help in any way."

"Pros: The professors are always helpful and will listen to you. Classmates participate and pay attention. Networking with Classmates Class size is small (I have a class size of 9 and another one of about 20) Professors have years of business experience"
