University of Wisconsin - Whitewater Reviews

"The Counselor Education program is CACREP accredited and offers a robust selection of courses that are relevant to today's successful counselors, including Multicultural Counseling, Systems Therapy, Trauma, and a thorough review of the newly released DSM-5. Additionally, students have the opportunity to provide real counseling before they begin their internship, which is coordinated by the department. The faculty is diverse in backgrounds and cultures, and there are numerous opportunities to meet other students. Classes can be small (around 10 people), but sometimes the courses are closer to 25 students, which can affect the quality of the discussions in the courses. Overall, I am highly satisfied with this program, and I believe I will find employment quickly after graduation."

"At UW-Whitewater, I believe the biggest strength is the commitment and accessibility of our faculty and administration. I frequently see our Chancellor walking around campus and talking to students, randomly. Our Provost holds weekly office hours in the University Center and invites all to come speak to her. I see administration, professors, and staff taking the time to attend student organization meetings, mentor case competition teams, organize conference attendances, and even help start a business venture."

"The pros about my graduate program is that the instructors are people who love what they do. Therefore, when they teach the courses, I can tell that they have a passion for what they are doing. This helps all of us to be more engaged and involved in all the topics that are being taught in class. Another pro, is that the instructors genuinely care about the students. They do their best at helping prepare all of us for our future careers and even help lend a hand when we need it. This program overall is great! I just finished my first semester in this program and I absolutely love it! The only con about this program is that it is a newer program so they are not set and stone on the program courses and requirements yet. With that said, a few changes are bound to happen here and there just because it's so new and they want the students to get a great learning experience."

"UWW is such an amazing school. The community is so welcoming and provides a wonderful environment for learning."

"great school but the program is developing and Whitewater needs more professors with PHD's in order to have a successful graduate program"

"I enjoyed my time at whitewater and believe because I went thesis route, got the most out of my education. I am worried about people who go with the masters practicum route as they do not receive the proper education and information they need."

"UW-Whitewater is one of the best universities in the country for business degrees, specifically accounting degrees."
