"The pros are that the program really feels like a community and I always feel like I'm supported. The funding makes it possible for me to attend and worthwhile too. The cons are that the MA only CW program is pretty tight in terms of class flexibility."

"Missouri has a beautiful campus and is an excellent school. The J school, nursing school, and accouting programs are all ranked number one in the nation. The campus is also increasing its diversity and most people are very accepting of others. Parking is a mess and if you can avoid driving or having a car, do it."

"The professors within the Physical Therapy program are beyond excellent. They are clearly knowledgeable and provide insightful and new information to the students. They are more than willing to help with anything the students need."

"I am learning very valuable lab techniques and critical thinking skills that will help me succeed in a PhD program in the future. The faculty genuinely cares about the students and are very accommodating. I think that aside from the lab I'm in not having any walls on the outside of the building (therefore no sunlight) there's really no cons!"

"The College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Missouri is an outstanding program. The number one factor is the accessibility of he faculty. They truly care about our success as Veterinarians and view the students as colleagues. While the academic building could use some updates, the VMTH is a state of the art hospital that has the Small animal, Equine and Food Animal hospitals all under one roof. This is a huge advantage compared to other veterinary schools. As a Mu Vet Med student we are also lucky to start our clinical year during third year unlike most vet schools which start clinics in fourth year. This extra hands on experience is a huge bonus!"

"Excellent educational support from peers, staff, and faculty @ University of Missouri School of Medicine. I have not even started the program yet and I have had a constant stream of communication and everyone is always willing to answer your questions or get you to someone who can. They send out resources to help people coming out of town so you know about housing, recreational activities, and life in Columbia in general. Extremely happy I chose to attend graduate school at this university."

"This grad program has excellent faculty that are interested in student learning and will support your endeavors. The location however is a few hours away from the nearest large city. Faculty bring in other faculty from across the nation to help network with students and expand their research interest."

"Veterinary school consumes your life and you have to manage your time wisely for studying. Your social life can become nonexistent at times but it is worth it in the end. The faculty and staff are great. They are supportive and always encouraging us to do more."

"The MU College of Veterinary Medicine provides a well-rounded education in both small and large animal. This does, however, mean that there is less flexibility in the choice of classes that you take. The biggest pro for Mizzou is that we start clinics 5-6 months before other vet schools. The biggest con is that we only get 6 weeks off for the summer in between the 1st and 2nd year, and 2nd and 3rd year, leaving less time to do externships and other programs during the summer."

"Getting a degree in Comp Sci means you have a good paying job as soon as you are done with college. In this field businesses care much more about how well you will fit in with the team you are on than they do about how prestigious the school you attended was and what your GPA was."

  • Degree: Law
"The University of Missouri School of Law has a wonderful faculty that goes above and beyond to assist and communicate with students. The student body is close-knit and class sizes are small. The city of Columbia is a great place to live, and the cost of living is relatively cheap. The law school itself needs some technological updates, some of which are already underway, others still need work. The wireless network is many times impossible to connect to, which is a problem from the University at large, and not the Law school's fault."

  • Degree: Chemistry
"The pros of my specific program would have to be a strong faculty in my field of study, access to a variety of instruments used for our research, and funding for our ongoing research. The classes offered for my program are very conducive to understanding what we will be expected to know once we hit the work force. Cons would be a lack of communication from the graduate school as to what exactly is expected from a student and what courses are required to graduate. The information should be made easier to find and readily available. Sometimes the organization of the program is not a fluent as it should be."

"The program certainly challenges its students, but I think that most of the professors are more focused on their own research than on the students' careers. There is little support from the faculty for obtaining jobs after completing the program. However, the students in the program create a nice, supporting working and studying environment that is unlike most graduate programs. The funding options for grad students is also better than many places. The city itself is rather small, but has enough going on to entertain graduate students."

"Great school. Perfect choice for those looking for a well-rounded college experience. Cost effective option for in-state students and many opportunities for out-of-state students to get in-state tuition. Staff and administration are top-knotch. Professors in the Poli Sci department are phenomenal and are extremely accessible though they meet and teach 1000+ students per semester. The GA's are a great supplement when the profs aren't available, and are equally as knowledgeable and engaging as the profs. I would like to see more training programs as part of the academic curriculum. Practical work experience is imperative in today's job market. While internships are available in the latter part of course work, they are not a requirement to graduate."

"A rigorous course of study but nonetheless very flexible during the first two pre-clinical years. Board scores are very high in our class. Clinical years are rigorous and while some rotations are hit-or-miss, the program overall sets students up well for internship and beyond."

  • Degree: Accounting
"If the purpose of getting a graduate degree in accounting is to get a job after graduation, then the accountancy program at MU is a home run. From the very start of the program, students are surrounded by a recruiter rich environment. The career support system takes lots of the job search hassle out of the college experience. The program is very internship friendly, and the program allows students to participate in an internship without losing pace with graduation goals. There are not many negatives about the program. There could be more diversity of available classes in the higher levels. There also could be more diversity of students, but that is less a program specific issue and more of a university wide problem. All in all, I would recommend this program to anyone who wants a challenging experience that will prepare them for and lead them to the next step in their careers."
