University of Memphis Reviews of Master's in Liberal Studies

"It was an amazing program. It was very helpful for preparing me for my career."

"The graduate program at the University of Memphis is very thorough. The teachers genuinely care and do everything necessary for students to succeed. There are outside resources on campus that are available for extra help with educational and personal concerns."

"Pros: not many graduate programs like it; new field and has lots of potential Cons: no PhD program yet"

"There are a lot of graduate research opportunities available for chemistry at the University of Memphis. Students can get involved in computational, organic synthesis, biochemistry, alternative fuels, analytical, and more. The faculty are very knowledgeable. There are several upper level classes available for most of the concentrations, but analytical chemistry (my conc.) only has a couple. The campus feels very safe; the surrounding area south of campus, however, does not."

"Mostly, teacher is kind and exam is not tough, so it is easy to earn a degree, but it takes much extra efforts to master what you suppose to learn."

"The student population at the University of Memphis is very diverse. Also, the university has many specialized programs."

"The science department lacks money to buy proper equipment and facilities. Many of the computers and the machines that we use are very out dated. They often break and they extend the time required for a reaction. For example, an experiment that should only take a few hours of our time using an updated system, requires 7 to 8 days with the outdated version.There have often been times where we stay in the lab very late sometimes having to sleep there. In addition, the science program is not even rated among other schools. Many of the professors care more about their research and having you as a worker than actually teaching you. For this reason, we are not allowed to graduate with only a master's degree. And, also many of the students whom graduate from the chemistry program are only able to obtain a career as a high school science teacher."
