Saint Thomas University Reviews

"I am satisfied with the caliber of the faculty in the Instructional Design & Technology program. All faculty was not only doctoral level, but they always added constructive feedback to our discussions and were willing to schedule optional Zoom meetings. My toughest teacher is the one I remember the most every time I am called to write a graduate-level paper. This program was well organized from beginning to end."

"Worst program ever. No guidance. No support. Exams which don’t correlate with assigned texts. No one cares. Unnecessary extreme stress. Needs a total revamp. After completing an exam you never get feedback on what you got incorrect to learn better or prepare for the finals. Worst education I’ve ever received. And we’re paying!!"

"The FNP program is ridiculous. You have 7 chapters in pharmacology to study every week along with writing papers. The test doesn't even make sense. After all that studying you will still fail the exams. The program is a waste of money. The professors don't care. Look elsewhere."

"The FNP program has no guidance. Yes its online but no one answers emails or phones. And if you go there face to face unprofessional is an understatement. They don't follow the syllabus. Stay away! No one will graduate from the FNP program they make sure of it."

"The program started off well, but about half-way through, the school changed the 'name' of the degree and the length of the classes. There was no option for existing students to continue on as agreed to, and this extended the program by about 6-8 months. The student services representative for the students in my doctoral co-hort is awful. She is rude, condescending and seemingly has no understanding of adult-student learners. The program itself is poorly designed, lacks creativity and has not helped me at all in my career. Each week, you write a 3-5 page paper with a longer paper due at the final week. In addition, you must complete 2 weekly discussions. This is for every single class, with no change in the assignments. The work is repetitive, and you often feel that you are doing 'busy work,' and simply repeating the work you did in the class before. There is very little support for the dissertation process other than a 'chair.' I have talked to my chair, via phone for about 20 minutes combined over the last 6 months. I will take ownership of the fact that I have not been as proactive in reaching out to her as I should be, however. I will finish the program and graduate in 2020; I wish that I did not have so much work and money invested in the program and I could leave to another program where I have the ability to actually be challenged, learn and grow both academically and professionally.Read Less"

"Please take my advice and do not attend this University for their FNP program (online) . The testing and grading practices are unheard of and highly unfair. You have absolutely no guidance. Do not bother contesting anything because you will be ignored. They don’t explain anything. Syllabus do not coincide with material for scheduled exams. Exams each 20 questions and are worth a fifth of your grade. The Dean and professors are rude and unhelpful. This program should not be accredited. Waste of a lot of people’s money.Read Less"

"Do not go to the online FNP program. There is no guidance. No assistance. Your left to figure everything out on your own. Classes are set up to fail. Online FNP courses for example Pathophysiology exams, each one 19 percent of your grade and 20 questions covering 10-18 chapters. It’s a joke. You can’t ever get anyone to contact you back. It’s awful and sadly a waste of money to many. They don’t follow their own handbook either. Sad."

"The online Graduate Education and Leadership Master's program at St. Thomas University FL is extraordinary in that every class is a five week course and completion of the program is approximately 14 months. The instructors are experienced top of the line professors with extensive experience in their specialty and the participation by each student is exceptional. The work is intense and very challenging and I am extremely happy I chose this excellent program for my graduate studies."

"My name is Ellis Daniels Jr., and I'm a doctoral student at St. Thomas University, in Miami Gardens, FL. St. Thomas University is an amazing institution, and offers many opportunities in many fields, more specifically the sports industry. The campus is very diverse and everyone including staff and students is helpful throughout your matriculation there. St. Thomas as many alumni in the sports field and recently I have been blessed with an internship opportunity because of the networks, and career center on campus. I would recommend this prestigious university to anyone who is looking to excel and expand in there careers and life.Read Less"

"St. Thomas University is a university of diversity, rigor, and opportunity. I attained my Bachelor's and Master's degree at this institution because the staff were welcoming and knowledgeable of their material. When I graduated, I was able to acquire employment and was fully prepared in my field. I continue to thrive and continue to keep in touch with my mentors as they were the jump start to my career."

"It was very enjoyable, meet a lot of people from different cultures. I have gained knowledge and experiences on various aspect."

"I just started St Thomas University online for my doctoral in education. It has been a great experience from admission up until this point. The admission counselor was very helpful and insightful about programs they offer and the options available to me. They were also very forthcoming on cost associated with the study. I am one week into the completion of my first class, and it has been very educational and intense. I"

"My experience as a law student was one of the best because of the teaching style adopted at the law school. Not only were the professors readily available for any questions, but they also encouraged free thinking and creative solutions to the traditional theoretical concepts. Most importantly, the school's commitment to the community is the essence of their mission "for the common good" and is unmatched."

"St Thomas is a well respected graduate program with great professors. The professors are very knowlegable and passionate about what they teach in. The classes are rigorous and alot can be achieved from them. The school is not very diverse."

"The pros of my graduate program is the teachers work closely with students to help them succeed. Since it is a small program, teachers really emphasize on that one on one with students which helps build a better connection; however, tuition was very expensive."

"St. Thomas University is conspicuously tucked away in Miami Gardens, the west area of Miami. Don't be fooled by the surroundings of the school, there are great students and influential professors within this campus. My experience pertains to the Law School, which has high influence on campus and my ratings reflect this grad program. My grade for competitiveness and workload reflect that. As much as this school is competitive, professors and career services department provide lots of support and the academic services department are always available to answer any of your questions. Contact the school to be part of an orientation event or tour to get a feel for the campus. It may feel dense at first, but you will quickly notice there is a close network of students (undergrad and grad alike) and you will enjoy your experience here.Read Less"

"St. Thomas University provides a very multicultural dimension to the learning environment that many universities do not afford nationally. The one-to-one attention given to the students is phenomenal. Professors work late hours to provide feedback and to be resources for students who are there full and part time. Students are also afforded financial aid opportunities to fund their education. The campus also provides accessibility for students with physical challenges. Honestly true to its identity, St. Thomas is a Catholic or "universal" university.Read Less"

"I feel that a well rounded education is vital in these turbulent years. Pro St. Thomas provides it. Con It costs"

"St. Thomas University is an institution that constantly strives to be, in my opinion, one of the greatest degree granting institutions in the U.S. I was able to meet with wonderful faculty and students. As far as a con, there is no such thing. I thank the St. Thomas University faculty and staff that have made my learning experience one of the greatest. I chose St. Thomas and it is the best choice that I made to pursue an advanced educational credential. THANK YOU!!!"

"I like St. Thomas University because it is a small intimate setting which will cater to your needs. The teachers are eager to help and guide you. The teachers are personable. They actually know your name. In essence, you are not just a number in a large class. Furthermore, the teachers are profound experts in their field, so they are knowledgeable in preparing you for the area or field of choice in the work force. There is ample financial aid and scholarships to ease the stress of the expensive costs of attaining a degree. St. Thomas really live up to their motto of preparing and developing leaders for life so that you may compete globally effectively.Read Less"
