University of Wyoming Reviews

"The graduate program is based primarily on practical learning in comparison to academics. Focus in more on how to be a counselor and work in the field as a counselor. Academics is primarily focused on self reflection papers and personal thoughts and opinions. There are not many research based papers. The faculty are some of the most supportive people on campus. However, the program itself lacks diversity of individuals such as other US states and countries. Most individuals who are in the program are from Wyoming. Courses lack global thinking or global perspective.Read Less"

"Top notch school that has excellent instruction both on campus and online. The financial aid department always tries to help the student with ways to afford their education and explains how financial aid works with their university. Originally I started with classes on campus but switched to online only classes. Both methods of instruction are very effective. I wished they offered the Master's degree I am pursuing online, but they do not, otherwise I would still be attending this university. This was a great experience and was very affordable as well.Read Less"

"A pro would be that it could be accomplished online and the con that most of it is paper work, which was easy but busy work."

"The pros of my graduate program are small class size, affordable tuition and some great faculty. The cons are administrative problems, off-campus clinical faculty and over-use of technology."

"The outreach program was key in getting me in the door. It allows non-traditional students like myself to go for an MA withing giving up on a livelihood."

"We have great teacher/student interaction and a program that prepares pharmacists extremely well for their careers."

"University of Wyoming College of Law is a great school for the price. The small size allows you to interact with your professors at a one on one level."

"This is a really great program, determination within students and faculty is amazing."

"This is a great program. It is challenging, but focuses on both theory and application of material. Many classes featured guest speakers and there is a big emphasis on post-graduation employment."

"The school atmosphere is fantastic. The classes are interesting and challenging. I would highly recommend UWYO Law."

"UW has a fantastic Counselor Ed and Supervision program. Faculty are accessible and supportive. Workload is fairly challenging. The information is relevant to the students who want to teach, do research, and/or practice counseling. Financial aid is difficult to come by and GA positions are few. Other programs guarantee financial support and provide GA opportunities for students."

"The University of Wyoming Counselor Education and Supervision track is a phenomenal PhD program. Students are afforded ample opportunity to participate in academia and research (including publishing and conference presentations) alongside seasoned professors who take a significant interest in the success of their students. I love this program and would recommend it to anyone interested in pursuing a career in counselor education and supervision."

"The class sizes are smaller than a lot of other pharmacy schools, making interactions with faculty much easier. The curriculum is challenging and adequately prepares students for a career in multiple areas of pharmacy. Graduates of the University of Wyoming School of Pharmacy have a history of doing well on the NAPLEX. I know several graduates from this program, some working in retail while others went on to PGY1/PGY2, but every single one of them has no regrets and nothing but positive feedback. The program has a good reputation and because of these pros I chose this school over the others I was accepted to.Read Less"

"I can't rank transportation, surrounding area or affordability because I am an outreach student. However I had done extensive servcie before chosing Wyoming and I have found its the best school challenging and hard but good for an outreach school."

"The only con to the program is the cohort style of classes. But this is an advantage as well. The pros are the close knit group, availability of teachers, the small class size, manageable work load. One of the best of all is the affordability of the education."

"The University of Wyoming has an excellent graduate program. It offers plenty of diverse courses to take, excellent research and TA opportunities, and an awesome area to live in. The surrounding areas are beautiful and accessible, and the social life is good for those who like to go out to bars and parties. The job resources are great, as well. The best part, however, is the accessibility of faculty. Professors are not strangers and you can have excellent relationships with them, increasing your networking ability and potential to find jobs/internships.Read Less"

"The pros of my graduate program are it is affordable, efficient and accredited. The program offers a vast amount of support and help in the acceptance process and provides the foundation for becoming a professional counselor. The cons of the program are minimal. The faculty and staff are well educated and experienced. The campus is beautiful, but can be cold in the winter for some people. Overall, the University of Wyoming is a great school for a great price and education."

"The graduate program for Archaeology is very good. There are many professors in this field, and they can be very helpful with your studies. I would certainly not recommend this university for any other field of Anthropology, however. The staff is limited, and they do not seem to give much thought or consideration to helping their students finish. Finishing your Masters in 2 years, for example, is almost impossible with any Physical, Cultural or Linguistic focus."

"Very flexible and great classes. Helpful in finding careers. Also expensive though."

"This program is perfect to prepare you for a career in educational research. It does not give you much of a chance to develop your teaching abilities."
