Touro University Reviews

"I decided on Touro college because of how the school expressed themselves and their willingness to work with teachers. However this is not the case. It is very difficult to receive effective feedback from professors and help from anyone. I have feel my education is not taken seriously by the professors and feel a lack of empathy. I’ve expressed this feeling to my advisor and professors and was left feeling even more alone and confused. I feel my experience has been stressful and have no one to help or turn to. If I do contact the Touro one help desk, they never answer their phone or call back until 2 days. It is very frustrating and very disappointing, I feel I am not getting the education I deserve.Read Less"

"I would not recommend this school to a dog. I’m convinced 10 people work here, none of who are ever available . I’m in an online program not a on campus student who opted to take online courses yet no one is ever available for assistance like I was lead to believe. You receive a response from the help desk before your advisor if ever. When you reach out to the chair she doesn’t help either. You’ll receive 10 responses while enrolling but 1 every 3 months once you’re actually in the program."

"Touro is the biggest joke for a graduate program. I am about to enter my last semester I continue with student teaching throughout my time in this program, multiple staff professors and advisers have been extremely disrespectful, condescending, unhelpful, and disorganized. This facility leaves you by yourself with no guidance whatsoever. Ive never had a consistent advisor, nor one that offered me CORRECT information. When you reach out to a higher staff member, she is never willing to truly help, only find something you are doing wrong. Yes, it was an easy program, however, I feel as though I am still not equipped with the right skills or mindset to enter into the field of education. I am very disappointed with this program and school. Would not recommend.Read Less"

"After attending a CUNY school for my undergrad degree I chose Touro for the convenience and price. I worked full-time and took a full-time all online classes the professors were knowledgeable in their respective fields and also very helpful with preparing future teachers my only issue with Touro was the lack of Preparation for the teacher exams. I was left out in the dark about what we needed to prepare for and needed guidance which wasnt available. The staff at forest hills location kept changing and one advisor told me to take an exam which I did and it was the wrong one ! The second advisor I believe was no help at all she was rude and condescending and made snippy comments about my handwriting. Rather than helping me enroll for exams. The receptionist was the most helpful person I encountered going to this school. I would recommend Touro to others but make sure and get guidance with taking exams.Read Less"

"I have learned a great deal at Touro College in Manhattan were I will graduate with a daul degree Early Childhood/ Special Education. I've worked with children for over 30 years and want to learn the current strategies and new techniques in teaching."

"Teachers are extremely helpful and supportive, but I feel as if many of the classes are repetitive and I am continually learning the same material in each class. I had one class where it was hands-on learning (dealing with IEP's, assistive technology devices) and we also had realistic classroom based discussions which benefitted each student in the class."

"I think that this school makes it very easy for people like myself, that work, complete their education. I like the program and feel that I have become more knowledgable and motivated in my area of expertise."

"I feel the program could be better and include a wider range of classes for students."
