University of South Alabama Reviews

"This college is nice for students that like a college town. There is not much to do but it does keep you focused on school. The teachers are helpful and there are tutoring options. There is also a transient system called the Jag Trans. It is good to go to the student center for all your needs."

"I attended The University of South Alabama from August 2006 to May 2008. I graduated with a Master of Arts in Public Administration. I was very proud of myself and I enjoyed my studies greatly. The campus was good and my professors were great. They had a strong knowledge of their subject matter and were excellent teachers."

"South Alabama is a great place to get your degree in Occupational Therapy. If you're looking for a family atmosphere, quality education, and professors that know your name and care about your success, then South is the place for you! Research is an important part of the curriculum, as is hands on practice. We have cadaver labs, ADL labs, media labs, technology labs, and tons of other resources available to students and loads of field work opportunities. I highly recommend checking out South Alabama for your Masters of Occupational Therapy."

"USA is a great university with many opportunities for learning. After I graduated I went on to work for the university and I love it."

"Very huge campus, awesome infrastructure. popular for medicine."

"Not an impressive alma mater to have, but a decent education. The English department is better than it has any right to be because the job market for academics is so poor right now. South has a lot of talented people."

"Wonderful experience. Big campus feel with small classrooms and close-knit student body. Go Jags!"

"The physical therapy program at South Alabama is a competitive, enriching academic environment. Our faculty vary in specialty in order to ensure that they students graduate as a generalist. The research opportunities are second to none for those interested. The PT department has a Motion Analysis Lab and BTE in order to provide high quality data and testing."

"USA is a great university in a great city. Most professors in the Mitchell College of Business at USA held Ph.D.s in their field and most also had industry experience. Classes were small and personable. I was inspired by them to continue my education and have been extremely successful as a result."

"There is currently some discord within the program and the program is being redefined by the department chair."

"USA is a great value. The expenses are low and the program is excellent!"

"The DPT program at South Alabama is excellent. The instructors are very experienced and down to earth. They take time to break down difficult concepts in class, gracefully answer all content related questions, and provide effective instruction in lab. Additionally, the cost of the program is much lower than comparable programs in the region, and the cost of living of the city in which it is located--Mobile, AL-- is fairly reasonable."

"I've only been in the program for three months, and I have already learned a lot. I know that I will be prepared when I start seeing patients. My teachers are approachable and seem to love what they do. I do think that the program can be a bit unorganized at times."

"I have to travel 45 minutes to get to school. So, trying to find help pay for those expenses are practically do not exist. The college itself is pretty nice and up-to-date."

"The courses offered and Dauphin Island Sea Lab are the highlight of the entire Marine emphasis Biology program offered at USA. Besides that the overall staff in the biology department is great. They are dedicated to helping you take on research opportunities if you want extra experience before graduation which is great."

"My graduate program is a small program and that is both a pro and con. We are well integrated and work within different departments, but on the other hand it is difficult to have the benefits of a large medical school."

"The University of South Alabama has a wonderful Physician Assistant program with faculty and staff that are available and eager to nurture your education."

"This is a great and competitive program. However, they have been having issues with faculty retention rate. We have lost a few faculty members which has negatively affected our program for the first year students. We have professors teaching subjects that they are not really qualified to teach. Furthermore, financial aid is difficult to come by and there is not much diversity within the program. Nevertheless, it is a challenging program that will push you to learn the material and hopefully become a great physical therapist upon graduation."

"Im a long way from home and this school and program helped me feel like I belonged. Great people and a great program!"

"All the programs are very competitive and offer an excellent avenue to further an individuals educational and career goals."
