University of Michigan - Flint Reviews

"No one really tells you that you require an onsite intership to graduate. I have found myself stuck as the internship site I was at was clealry not vetted well enough. The onsite retaliated against me because I did not accept their pre internship employment offer and made it clear i wouldnt be lwaving my current job post intern either. From that point on i had major issues with the onsite. I relayed these all to the coordinator, director and temporary coordinator. All which decided to blame me instead of owning up to the fact they all dropped the ball at separate stages of this experience. I was retaliated against for not wanting to work for my internship location and now i am having to redo my intership because they refused to let me keep the hours i already put into it. Definitrly dont recommend this program. The coordinators and even director are absurdly immature and couldnt care less about the experience you have.Read Less"

"There is one particular Med surg instructor who gets a kick out of failing the students! She’s fails half her class each semester as she gives basic instruction from basic slides yet will give complex exams that don’t align with what she went over in class so you’re studying blind!! How is this tolerated or acceptable by U of M? She Doesn’t show you where you went wrong on the exams either!! Isn’t this how you are supposed to learn?! How do you know where you went wrong so she’s not transparent! You have to trust her word on your score! She has no interest in helping the students and they have no other teacher so you’re stuck taking her again if you fail which as stated before she fails a high number of students. How is no one looking at this! At what point do they see it’s a teacher problem and not a student problem? But as long as they are getting money from you it seems as if they don’t care!Read Less"

"I transferred to the University of Michigan - Flint my third year of undergraduate. I felt very welcomed to this college, and the people within my program were very helpful and open to me. The teachers were extremely helpful, even when it wasn't class hours and the academic advisor was beyond helpful. I was involved in way more extracurricular activities at this campus then I was at the college I transferred from and it was because the activities at the campus were inviting. There were always tables out were people sat in between classes that helped to get you involved and more comfortable on campus.Read Less"

"I really enjoyed my time at the university of Michigan flint. You have to put in a lot of work to receive your degree but it is worth the work."

"Studying MS in Computer Science requires a certain determination and strength of character. In recent years, the business world has become rapidly integrated across once restricting borders, and anyone with high goals in the business world must have an international perspective and be aware of the realities of different international arenas.I'm confident that my program in the university provides me all."

"It is a great program, I love that it is online and all of the professors so far have been great. I do feel that there are a few too many "busy" research assignments in some of the courses that take time away from the courses more important to the degree. I also wish that there was a little bit more networking or assistance as far as helping to set up clinical preceptors."

"con- faculty very disorganized pro- great job getting me ready to pass license exam"

"It's an online program, so some of the above are really not relevant - such as surrounding area. The program has a great reputation, but some of the courses just feel like you're jumping through hoops and not really learning anything."

"My graduate program is small which provides more direct attention and support by the professors but also restricts research opportunities. I prefer this smaller program because of the better education by the professors and collaboration by classmates."

"University of Michigan-Flint is Good university compared to other universities in Michigan."

"There are many pros to this graduate program. The main reason I decided to come here was because it allowed me to work full time as well as finish my degree. The fact that it is almost entirely online is a huge benefit. The in-class sessions are also extremely helpful because they put faces to all the emails. The interaction helps understand things one might struggle with."

"Pro's, almost entirely online. Knowledgeable professors. Cons-25+ books to purchase e first semester. Some classes lack a strong visual component."

"i am just starting and already I love the amount of attention from the school. I get emails all the time for various events, calls from the counselors to see how I am doing, and the oreintation was very informative"

"The pros of the mph program at the UM Flint is that the professors do a very hard job trying to teach. The department is very helpful in supporting their students morally. Any problem a student faces through out the course can be resolved if the students proves that he is a hard worker. Everybody is treated equally despite of their ethnicity. This program facilitates social interaction and connection through class discussions, group presentations and homework allowing the students to feel comfortable with their peers. Classes are very appropriate for students who have families, kids and a full time job such as myself.Read Less"

"This program is excellent. I am proud to be a student at UM Flint. This program is state of the art and sets high standards of academics. Being an online student in the DNP program, I feel distant from others but the learning opportunities allow students to engage each other, and it is at this time students come together not only to learn about the class content but to learn about each other. We identify our own strengths and weaknesses and together we are able to grow as professionals."

"The University of Michigan Flint has a great doctorate of physical therapy program. The staff are very knowledgeable, passionate, and they truly care about student success. The only potential con might be that they have a higher student to instructor ratio than other similar programs. However, this translates to slightly lower tuition costs."

"The instructors are very caring and helps the students to achieve their goals. Cons: Too much assignment to complete"

"This program is extremely flexible as it is all online. Students are able to take on a fair amount of course work while balancing their personal and professional lives. In addition, the faculty members are extremely accessible. Whenever I reach out to the faculty I have a response typically within 24 hours, or sooner if I call. Beyond that, one of the greatest benefits is being in the University of Michigan system. Not only is that valuable listed on a resume, but there is access to the University of Michigan Alumni Association.Read Less"

"I had chosen best school for my profile and I learned a lot from my masters when compared to bachelors degree"

"Often people are torn between in person and online classes. The NetPlus! graduate program is the best of both worlds. You get the learning experience of being in the the classroom, giving presentations and participating in group projects and discussions, without having to be there every week. I would say there is a much higher respect for class time because the program only meets 4 days a semester (Friday/Saturday twice a semester 8:30-5:30). Students really participate and engage because they won't get the chance often. The workload is moderate, and likely commensurate with others in the same field. It is necessary to break the larger projects into smaller components and set internal deadlines within a group to ensure completion. In that sense, the program can be a bit Darwinian, since there is a large component of self direction needed to orchestrate assignments on schedule without instructor oversight. Also, every project or presentation is a group project. While it can be frustrating, I feel I've learned more about directing a group from that, than can ever be taught via course material. Though I'd like to be judged by my own work, I know things will rarely end up that way in real life, so this is likely better way to prepare for a leadership role. The more difficult classes (e.g. Statistics and Economics) often offer additional resources like a site called Aplia which digests materials into notes and quizzes. There is also a tutoring center open to any student at any level. Flint, MI may not be the most desirable location, but the NetPlus! program does limit campus visits to 4x per quarter. By nature of the fact that the entire NetPlus! student body comes on the same days at the same times, there is some security in the fact that we all arrive and leave at the same time. In addition to that, the university police department works very hard to ensure the campus structures and buildings remain crime-free. If it matters, classroom diversity is a bit lower than I would have expected in Flint. I would say there is close to a 70/30 split caucasian/ethnic and a 50/50 split between men & women. In any case, at the grad school level everyone is respectful and just here to learn.Read Less"
