University of Michigan - Flint Reviews

"Pursuing a graduate degree online is much harder than what most people would think. At UM Flint, the professors have made it a point that we learn the course material well and, since everything is online, the only way to evaluate that will be on written coursework, whether it be submitted papers or the Blackboard Discussions which is a good substitute for classroom participation. Due to the amount of coursework to be done, it can be quite demanding and it is a challenge for the student to make sure that he/she manage his/her time well. The professors are very understanding of the fact that we, the students, are all working full time and also have families so they have been very reasonable enough with their deadlines and, if given fair warning, have been very flexible enough to accommodate "life" as we know it. Overall, it has been a very good experience for me and I am looking forward to graduation and finally meeting my professors face to face!Read Less"

"It was not until I complete my associate degree in a community college that I decided to become a teacher. Upon attempting to transfer my credit in to U of M's education department I was told very few credits would transfer do to the technical nature of the credits. They encourage me to transfer in to a technical program verses an education program and to take all education electives. The goal was to eventually transfer to the education department after receiving a 4 year degree. This ended up being a long path to teaching and a very expensive one. I love the well rounded education and think that it has made me a better teacher of science and technology but I would do it differently if I could start over. Now that I am in UNCC education program I have learned that lateral entry teacher can get paid for their first year while student teacher work the year for free. There are greater responsibilities but it is very rewarding.Read Less"

"Pros: The college program is very nice, the materials covered in class are useful, the faculty and staffs are very helpful, accessibility of faculty is easy, the students in the program are mostly working professionals and others are preparing for future career.The curriculum is relevant- have to do capstone, and internship before graduating, so it will be very helpful after graduation. The faculty ad visors give you good advise regarding what courses to take and also prepare you for the competitive job market Cons: The area outside the University is not safe. Other than that, I have not found any cons in the program so far.Read Less"

"I think the U of M- Flint's FNP is well rounded and provides a great teacher-student environment that is necessary for career advancement."

"I think this has been a great program, despite being in its infancy stages, they continue to make progress to make the program stronger."

"My graduate program is excellent because it prepares me well for the Physical Therapy field. With clinical observation and experiences, as well as classroom and textbook content, I will have well-rounded ability to succeed and treat my patients. The only negative thing I can say about the program is there are not many grants available for graduate students, limiting my ability to support myself while attending this three-year program. However, I'll continue to work hard and seek out financial aid so that I'll finish strong.Read Less"

"Courses are easy to navigate with the Blackboard system. Sometimes the instructors need to review the course before the course starts so that the previous semester's information can be changed to reflect the current information for that semester."

"The DNP program at the University of Michigan Flint have the greatest staff!! They are very supportive, they want you to succeed on the highest level possible and that is priceless in attaining a difficult but worthy goal. It doesn't mean it's easy but you feel empowered and confident to complete your educational endeavors!"

"The online doctor of anesthesia practice degree is meeting my needs. I am learning a lot and of course am getting out of it what I put into it. The cost per credit is slightly costly; however, I appreciate the fact that it is all online and I can take classes at the rate that works with my family and career. The only other complaint I have is the assigned initials for the degree completion that varies from any other doctor of anesthesia degree in the country."

"My graduate program is a highly competitive one and has a wide range of career opportunities to explore. It is a challenging one that requires one to keep abreast and informed of evolving technology. One has to strife to be unique."

"The graduate program for Family Nurse Practitioner is in an online format, allowing for flexibility with raising a family and working. Our instructors are easily accessible, especially considering the online format. There are adequate opportunities for group activities, so we meet and collaborate with our peers. The only con, in my opinion, is that we have to arrange our own clinical rotations, which can be difficult when we are unfamiliar with a particular location. I feel that this program has provided me with a wealth of information and is preparing me well for my future career.Read Less"

"Graduate program is ranked very high! Great school with great support and has a fantastic reputation. Many job offers based just on the fact that I went to U of M.
