Pittsburg State University Reviews

"The school was great to work with from application to graduation. They communicated quickly and was responsive to any needs that I had. Using Canvas was a good platform and was easy to navigate. My one suggestion for improvement is the graduation ceremony. It's pretty much a walkthrough with where you lineup elsewhere, walk the stage, and go out another door. That's it. I recommend more of a ceremony."

"Do not recommend going into Early Childhood Education, the pre-k practicum is a joke and you will not learn much. I would stick to elementary education at Pitt or find a different school for early childhood programs. You will have better luck learning on Pinterest and in a real classroom"

"I would highly recommend Pittsburg State University to anyone who is seeking an MBA. The professors are excellent. While I did find this program quite challenging at times, it is definitely worth the investment. Whether you are majoring in international business, human resources, or accounting I would suggest the school."

"Pittsburg State University is a fantastic mid-sized institution committed to developing it's students into the most effective professionals in the area. Known for it's College of Education, Nursing, and Arts and Sciences, PSU is a name on a resume that is meaningful to employers. The exercise science, bio/pre-med, psychology, and nursing programs provide premium education with a reputation for excellence. The class sizes at PSU are small, allowing instructors to get to know each student personally. Instructors care about student success and work to help each student as they seek their new identity as a professional. This "extra mile" creates a beautiful and goal oriented vibe around the college that can be felt as soon as you step on campus. It was these caring instructors and peers that helped push me towards graduation and reminded me of my goals when times got hard. I am eternally grateful for all the instructors and staff at PSU did for me.Read Less"

"This program focus on modern construction technologies such as computer estimating and scheduling, digital layout using laser/GPS through the use of real-world construction laboratories. Use of Construction equipment simulator is also included in it."

"Great college and learned a lot. Definitely recommended"

"Pitt State is the place to go if you want to be the best nurse you can be. I was thoroughly prepared to pass boards and work in a current, up to date environment."

"Not good. Standards have been lowered since I graduated to where I do not believe people are receiving the education they should. People should leave college with a degree where they do know how to do Algebra, know how to tell daylight hours from night without any problems and write book reports without cheating. The library should hold more importance than the football field with regular changes in books, without having any that literally belong in a museum. Also the library should be a quiet place for studying, not eating, watching television or playing games online. The state itself does not help with this issue and I only hope things will not get worse.Read Less"

"The MSN program made me feel prepared going into my first job as a healthcare provider. I think that this is quality education that is not overpriced, with great team of instructors that are involved and helpful in making you succeed. I would recommend this program to anyone that is thinking about going on for their MSN."

"Fantastic professors and small class sizes. There really isn't much else to say."

"I just started my Masters this summer at Pittsburg State and finished my undergrad here as well, 7 years ago. I am now living in Olathe, KS and really wanted to stick with the Gorillas. "Once a Gorilla, always a Gorilla!" I never thought all my classes could be online, but they are! I was super excited to know that Pittsburg State offered exactly what I wanted. The first 6 hours I have taken have been a bit challenging just getting back into the swing of homework. But the professors are amazing and really stretched our learning. They understand that life happens and are very flexible. I would highly recommend this graduate program to anyone who was thinking of going back to get their Masters!Read Less"

"Pros: Graduate in one year Industry Related Training Networking Cons: None really"

"Pros: great school with relatively cheap tuition by comparison, great faculty, program is entirely online Cons: only a select few faculty teaching courses so if you don't like one or two professors you are stuck with them for the entire program with no other options; parking is terrible"

"I love my graduate program in career and technical education. The instructors are awesome and are always willing to help."

"It has a very limited use. However, it is quite useful for those looking to gain research experience and further their education."

"My graduate program provides the most professional, educated, and supporting faculty which facilitates the excellent education I am receiving. Because it is a smaller program, faculty are always available in any capacity and networking amongst other students is effortless. The single negative aspect is, due to my own choosing, I must commute from a neighboring town."

"Workload is difficult for educators employed full-time. Financial aid is not available for non traditional , 4.0 students that do not qualify for income based financial aid. Online courses do not support superior collaboration or networking with peers. Few effective networking for career opportunities are available. The program has great professors and tremendous learning opportunities depending on the time and effort the student is willing to invest."

"This is a very strong Counseling and Psychology department. The school as a whole has very strong academic and athletic qualities."

"My choice to continue my education a teacher was not made lightly.   I have chosen a career in education because I believe that it is one of the most important functions performed in our culture.  I believe that teachers individually and collectively have the ability to not only change the world, but to improve it. That’s what I want to be for my students. I love this saying, “Don’t accept being average.” To me, being average is that wall that stand in the way of greatness. I want my students to break down that wall.  Students go to school because they are forced to.  Many times learning is not their top priority, but the teacher’s job is to teach. This is the reason why I want to became a teacher…. I want to inspire my students to “not accept being average”. My education at Pittsburg State will allow me to do that! The flexibility of online classes and actual in class work allows for great learning opportunities!Read Less"

"My grad program is completely online, so I can work on my time and have a full time job. I think it is really preparing me well for a career in special education. However, the online format makes it difficult to communicate with professors at times. You don't get to know your classmates as well. Still, I'm enjoying my program."
