University of North Carolina at Greensboro Reviews of Master's in Social Sciences

"UNCG's Dept of Public Health Education offers an excellent Masters level degree. Unfortunately, I was a part-time student, and the professors understandably focused their interest and efforts on full-time students. The upshot of this was that i had no post-degree support in finding a career in my chosen field at all. I STRONGLY recommend taking the full-time approach to receive the full benefits the dedicated and brilliant professors offer. There is a lot of passion in this program for social justice and the betterment of the human condition."

"The Faculty is committed to helping each individual find their niche in their personal career development. They do a great job of helping to direct you in the areas that your interests most line up with study material. This makes the coursework more than academia - much more engaging and worthwhile."

"While financial aid is difficult to obtain, the program itself is competitive and engaging. There is always an event for students to attend to get to know one another and the faculty as well as opportunities to succeed."

"I am part of a joint Masters of Social Work with UNCG and NC A &T. The program is diverse and meant to prepare someone with a little bit of work experience prepare for a career in social work. The professors are diverse and available. They all have encouraged self-reflection. The content is relevant to today's community needs."

"School is good and every program varies (of course), but if I knew back then, what I know now about the program requirements, courses, faculty, research etc.; I would have probably chosen to go somewhere else. Some of the faculty is very easy to work with and support the students while others are/do not. I wish this program was more about application and less theoretical/principle based. I did not feel adequately prepared for the real world jobs/careers."
