University of Baltimore Reviews

"I graduated with a BA degree in Human Services Administration. I would recommend UB because they teach team work, Grant Writing and Program Design. If you are looking for a way to change or open your own organization, UB can direct you in that path."

"The University of Baltimore provides a rich ground for diverse and culturally different individuals to assimilate and grow in terms of professional and personal development. I have found the College of Public affairs to be an amazing resource not just for domestic students but as well as international students who are both adjusting to life in the United States and pursing education towards a degree in the international studies field. Many resources are available on campus, with a list of directories on the school site that provide a wide variety of assistance in terms of job searching, housing, financial aid, and career workshops.Read Less"

"The first thing you will notice is the general apathy of the administration. I've had colleagues who have gotten bad first impressions when asking questions looking to go to school here and then decide not to go. The clincher for why I give it one star was due to a situation with a mentally unstable professor that was mishandled. I simply asked her why I received the grade I did on an assignment out in the hallway just outside her office after class as I caught up with her. The grade was lower than expected, and she provided no written comments. For some reason or another, she couldn't discuss the matter at that moment, and the discussion moved over to email the following day. So, then she completely flipped out and told me she didn't appreciate the way I antagonistically approached her. I had totally no idea where that came from. After I few of these types of emails exchanges, I decided this lady was a nutcase and that the situation needed to be escalated. So, a meeting was scheduled with her department head. His secretary sat in on the meeting and took notes. At the end of the discussion, she said "I think I know what's going on here.", looking at the department head as she was saying it and ignoring me. Apparently, I wasn't privy to what that meant. Then, she left the room leaving me alone with the department head, and I found out what it meant. What happened next is I was the department head started attacking me and trying to bully me into submission to protect his colleague. So, then I went to the acting dean. The acting dean was really nice. What I got out of the conversation with the acting dean was that they presented it to him that I was a hostile and threatening person, but once he met with me in person (which the department head and the teacher hadn't counted on), he could see they lied and that that wasn't the case. He worked with me to come to a workable solution, which included getting out of the class. Soon afterward (I'd say the following semester or so), the professor was no longer at the school. I'm really not surprised this happened. This was only the first or second week of class, and there had already been another incident where she way overreacted by slamming something on the table when someone's cell phone accidentally went off in class. Her reaction was such that is scared the class. Later in the semester, a couple of the students that were in my class work group and with who I shared the incident wrote to me expressing that I was right. My boss read the emails and said "This lady has some issues." Years later, I kept receiving solicitations to donate money to the school. I finally wrote them and told them to stop sending the solicitations citing this incident and also mentioned that I would not be recommending the school to anyone for the way it was handled. Soon after, someone in administration cyberstalked me by looking at my LinkedIn profile. The view came over as "hidden profile by staff at University of Baltimore". My guess is they wanted to see if I was holding a position of power to determine if my bad recommendation would affect them.Read Less"

"The professor are amazing, and knowledgeable. Occasionally you'll find professor that make you question how they got hired but those are few and far between. Some of the employees however could use more training in customer service, sadly the end of semester surveys only rate professors not other employees so this feedback is never communicated to senior staff."

"I can clearly see that the majority of these reviews were written by individuals who were never students. I am writing this review due to the poor treatment that I received as on online graduate student in the Master of Public Administration program. I was harassed, bullied and forced to drop out because I stood up to a professor. Additionally, I was singled out and victim of arbitrary grading by the most egregious people in the teaching profession. I recently retained a lawyer and in the process of filing a civil suit against my oppressors in US District Court. The $30,000 in student loans which I took out to attend the University of Baltimore have caused me financial ruin and these people will pay. After three years of graduate school, I have no degree and no ability to obtain a career within the field that I so heavily invested.Read Less"

"UB provides a comprehensive online degree program, accredited by the AACSB. This program allowed me to balance work with continuing my education to fulfill my goals."

"I would recommend the University of Baltimore to the majority of non traditional students in the Baltimore area. The education I received there had a major positive impact on my life and career. I sincerely enjoyed the majority of my coursework and feel it helped prepare me for my career."

"University of Baltimore or UB (in Baltimore resident speak) is a multi cultural school that incorporates the best of college and campus life. The a academic environment is very student friendly. This is very important as faculty and staff relate to students' needs and are very invested in their career and professional development."

"I cannot speak more highly about the university itself. The classes were engaging and educational and the faculty and staff went above and beyond to make sure the students had a good experience. However, while I learned a lot, I feel like the amount of money I spent to earn my MBA was not worth it. I have never gotten a job because of my MBA and I am earning much less than friends and coworkers who do not have a masters degree at all."

"I have found that so far, University of Baltimore is geared towards making sure its students are successful in perusing their degrees/and studies. There are so many resources and people available at just about any time to help with whatever you need. The professor and advisors are also a great help are readily available to help in any way they can. They do not want you to fail and everyone genuinely cares."

"It was a very good college. Definitely recommend for others"

"I absolutely LOVED University of Baltimore. Everything was so hands-on and real world that I was able to apply my learning to current situations and deepen my understanding. I would whole heartedly recommend UB to anyone thinking about management or marketing. Definitely take the entrepreneurship classes as electives!"

"Today I am a 23 year old business owner who is undergoing her M.B.A, and I owe a great deal of where I am today to the incredible education I received at the University of Baltimore. At UB I was exposed to mentors, business owners, professors and like minded peers who pushed me to work extremely hard to create and innovate. I formed Blondell Entertainment LLC, while in undergrad, where I handle my music career ( Shelby Blondell) from start to finish. Because of networking and learning from renown professionals I have been able to do run my business and further my career.Read Less"

"The University was not diverse at all. The professors weren't worldly and saw things from inside their academic bubbles. The administration was even worse than the staff. It seems like a modern-day plantation. No educating or knowledge was being bestowed on anyone."

"Pros- Great location, good Professors, and good classes. Cons- Not enough Financial Aid for Grad school, some grad degrees need to be rename for better job enhancement, more grad assistantships are needed in every department, and more grad career counselors are needed."

"My experience at the University of Baltimore was a rewarding yet challenging one. I learned a lot of new perspectives from professors and students, which was my ultimate goal. The school was located in an area that I felt was not the safest, but the campus police and area police made me feel safe. I felt the social life was good due to the close proximity of restaurants and venues. Overall, I am pleased with my experience at the University of Baltimore."

"This is a very affordable city campused college. UB is a small knit community that provides the foundation for students to succeed. With a wide array of diverse students, the student experience really creates and atmosphere of knowledge that works. The school is located where there are many transit options as well as parking in street and UB garage. The faculty do support the students and create a scholarly environment. The school is committed to becoming a sustainable school with having various green programs like having gardens and a city orchard that is maintained by students. As an anchor institution, UB is an important partner in the community and supports the area as well. The only negative aspect is the Financial Aid staff are not trained well, do not seem to have the same idea of helping students to succeed. Nonetheless, UB is truly where things happen and dreams can be fulfilled.Read Less"

"UB was a waste of money and time. There is a very limited selection of courses and the times are very scattered- it is impossible to find courses that meet one after another so you have to plan on being on campus every day of the week if you are full-time. Classes are in no way demanding and peers behave as if it is high school- talking on phones, arguing with professors, talking over professors. It seems more like a 4 year community college. The law and business schools receive all of the funding; the liberal arts schools are archaic, noisy, and uncomfortable. Crime is rising on the streets that border campus. There are other colleges in (Towson) that have similar tuition with much more demanding courses and respected degrees (UB is not respected at all when it comes to hiring or applying to graduate school).Read Less"

"University of Baltimore offers a very flexible ways to get your graduate degree. The university allows you to take courses on campus, online, and on weekends at a satellite campus. Even more importantly the M.P.A. program is ranked 73rd in the country and it's proximity to D.C. gives students the ability to obtain unique internships and great job opportunities."

"I am currently pursing a Masters in Applied Psychology. I believe there are an abundance of pros of the graduate program. I enjoy the program and how specific it is to learning behavior. The program offers a LCPC licensure course that gives you exactly what you need to guarantee success on the exam. I think that is a very special detail of the program. It adequately prepares you to work as a therapist. A con of the program would be the financial strain it places on you. I found it very difficult to receive financial assistance this past semester. There wasn't much help which left me feeling hopeless. However, I am determined to finish the program and graduate in 2018.Read Less"
