University of Saint Mary Reviews

"Attending the University of Saint Mary my first year of college brought me something new, and painfully sweet. The teachers were very passionate about their jobs, they wanted their students to major in the exact same categories that they did. There was nothing better than watching these people love their classes that they taught, and care that students actually wanted to take them. Personally their love for everything to be exactly the way they wanted it made it harder. My theology class was the toughest on me, I was lost and I couldn't find a way for help. When I brought this up with my professor I was referred to the Academic Research Center, or another student . How could I possibly figure out the best way to write a good solidified paper when the knowledge that I wanted was in reference from another persons understanding. With little to few guidelines and rules on how to write these papers I panicked and I withdrew from the class, but before I did I had a sit down with my professor. My professor talked with me and explained the things that I felt would never be in my comprehension, but unfortunately the paper was already signed and all I had to do was walk out of the meeting room. If you want someone who takes their jobs serious, and only expect the best that they know personally possible then University of Saint Mary is the school for you. Being a private school however, things may then tend to be over priced as you can see that when money is tight the loans will sky rocket. I needed my mother to sign a parent loan inside of the boundaries of the contract with the school still after receiving a $48,000 scholarship to attend. We would be just a little under 100,000 dollars in dues owed to the school had I not been transferring to the University of Kansas. I recommend this school to anyone who would love to have a passionate professor take them through the curriculum of the school the correct way. Then in the case of money being tight and not enough financial income, I would not recommend this school because the over pricing to be called a private is too hard on financial needs of families and students.Read Less"

"I chose the University of Saint Mary's because of the affordability factor. I am currently a student enrolled in their online MBA program that is specifically catered to health car management. I find that the courses very informative and gives me the drive to push myself and my abilities all while I work full time and take care of my family. When I graduate I will have the confidence needed to begin my new career."

"I did my degree online; I am completely satisfied with the level of customer service I received from from this school. I am pleased with my work and learning, and the platform used for the online courses was user-friendly and easy to navigate."

"The University of Saint Mary has so far exceeded my expectations. The initial discussions with the entrance counselor was extremely helpful in guiding me to what I wanted to do. The classes I have taken so far have been wonderful. The professors are available to answer questions and help out when needed. The curriculum and grading is fair and I would recommend this school for an online MBA program."

"The graduate program is excellent and the staff at the satellite campus is fantastic. There are repeated issues regarding paperwork mistakes at the main campus which is stressful. It is also difficult to contact supporting staff at the main campus to fix these mistakes. It is a challenging but good program."

"Pros: The staff members are easily accessible so you will always have someone to answer a question for you or to assist you with an issue. The information provided before and after registration is a bit overwhelming, but the staff simplifies it for you and calls to explain better. The graduate program is very affordable and doesn't require you to spend unnecessary money on entrance testing. Cons: For me, there are no cons and I'm not saying this because I am an online student. I am unable to give a full review on the school's campus due to my distance.Read Less"

"Pros: small campus, faculty is available Cons: Leavenworth, pricey"

"The program is challenging and prepares the students for success in their future career."

"The program is a value based educational program that incorporates core values into educational instruction. The implementation of core values helps students implement these values into their professional goals."

"Pros: the affordability allowed me to pursue the degree and follow my dreams. The professors are knowledgeable and understanding of my work and live obligations. The cons are it can sometimes seem formulaic with each course."

"Pros: Flexibility of the online program allows me to work my full time job in the U.S. Army while simultaneously working 18 credit hours per semester. Cons: Limited financial aid available to one such as myself, many of the tuitions and fees are absorbed by me."

"I feel this is a excellent school. I have pushed myself to conduct more thorough research of the topics we covered. Very highly qualified faculty. I feel I have made the right choice. Most of us are working adults therefore my social life it not that important."

"Staff are always ready to assist you with any needs in a very timely manner."

"I love Saint Marys Unveristy. I has a great acdemic feel and the students are there for a good education, but also because its inexpensive. I think the faculty works well with what they have and continues to make the site better."

"I am currently enrolled in the online program. The pros are that the class is very diverse and serious about their education. The course load is reasonable and the lessons are clearly defined. The cons would be the access to the instructor. Being online, the information is not dynamic or in real time, so sometimes the answers to questions are lagged and often frustrating."
