University of Northern Colorado Reviews

"The Sport and Exercise graduate program at the University of Northern Colorado overall is very positive. The facutly and staff are very knowledgable and respected individuals in the research field. Advisors are very helpful and responsive. I feel I'm directed and supported. They town of Greeley has a bad wrap, but it is actually a very pretty place with great parks and recreation. It isn't a large city with a particularly exciting night life, so that might weigh-in on your ultimate decision if you value that most. The quality and overall value is tough to beat in my opinion.Read Less"

"My program is extremely rigorous although quite preparative for higher education and advanced clinical work."

"Pros: Extended campus, weekend schedule, flexible, continuous enrollment, competitive in the field, networking opportunities Cons: Lack of community, decreased access to campus resources, poor financial aid opportunities"

"Grad program is fantastic this far. Faculty is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The town is really cute, quiet and friendly."

"I went to the extended campus in Denver, so I rated the area in which I attend school. I appreciate the extended campus, because if it wasn't for that availability, I would not have attended graduate school. The con for an extended campus is the professors hours are limited in the Denver campus, because their main office hours are in Greeley. Overall it has been a good experience."

"I am not a fan of BlackBoard and it is heavily used but the support is great."

"Unco is a great school. It gives students a lot of support."

"Pros: With Exercise Science advancing technologically, there is a higher need for people in this field to better shape the minds and bodies of people in our communities. This education UNC offers will really jump start your career and spark motivational techniques to help others in need with their health. Tuition is at an affordable price, and they are quick to help you with anything you need. Cons: parts of the campus involve a lot of walking up and down a hill like campus, parking"

"This program does provide good performance opportunities, with a high level of musicianship. However, communication within this department is terrible, and I feel like I new know what is going on, diminishing my opportunities."

"The graduate program I'm enrolled in is one of the only graduate programs of its kind on the front range. The SpEd Generalist Degree will allow me to service 85 percent of the special education student population and leave me with a diverse, strong skillset in the classroom. Classes are offered on campus and online, which helps with my full time schedule as an elementary teacher. I have yet to identify any major drawbacks other than the fact that I live in Longmont and my program is based in Greeley.Read Less"

"My experience so far at the School of Music has been very good, with friendly, helpful, accessible professors. The standards are much higher than what I have previously experienced, which is a good thing: they care about your level of competence! The facilities are outdated, but this is my only real complaint (other than the cost of tuition, which is mind-boggling). I look forward to the rest of my journey at UNC!"

"I love that this is a completely on line program with University professors and is designed to be completed in 5 semesters."
