University of Georgia Reviews of Master's in Health Sciences

"I have been given so many opportunities at the University of Georgia. As an out-of-state student, I have already found a place in the community, enjoyed the great social life of Athens, and have had all of the support I've needed since I arrived. The top-of-the-line equipment and experienced staff have already been priceless additions to my prior experiences, and it's only been one semester. I'm very grateful to be here!"

"Pros - great network, quality instructors, very diverse No cons"

"Pros: The Clinical Exercise Physiology program is a great preparation for cardiac rehab or other areas of interest in a clinical setting. It provides plenty of hands on experience (400-600hrs required) through the clinical hours or internship. The program also prepares and requires students to sit for the ACSM Clinical Exercise Specialist certification in order to graduate. Have this certification not only sets the student up for more career opportunities, but also prepares the students to sit to become a Registered Clinical Exercise Physiology which is a more advanced version of the CES exam. Cons: This program at this university in particular is not flexible, and somewhat unorganized or undecided as to what electives are appropriate. This is a full time program, meaning the courses are not offerred at any time during the year. They are only offerred during certain semesters and the program is meant to be completed within 1.5-2 years. It its difficult to have a job on the side while doing the program full time (meaning about 15hours/semester). Obtaining the clinical hours becomes almost a full time job."

"I am still on my first year here at UGA but it has been fun. There are a lot of orgs that support students and the community in general is very helpful. Faculties are experts in their respective fields, very knowledgeable, and easy to approach. Grad students are very friendly. Night life in Athens is also something to look forward to. Overall, the university offer a balance between life inside and outside of school."

"UGA is a great school to be in. Some programs are more famous than others but all in all its a really good university."
