Western Kentucky University Reviews

"Pros - Very good program with a great return on investment. Professors are very helpful and always available to answer questions. Very diverse group of students with several international students. Several financial aid opportunities in the form of graduate assistantships. Cons - Not the best career support services, as job placement can be a little challenging following graduation. Alumni network could be improved."

"Its a really good program though lacks competency level."

"pros: you become close with your cohort which are your future colleagues. Professors are always willing to help. cons: the program is rapidly growing and changes occur."

"My graduate faculty is amazing. Every faculty member is here to help us in any way possible. The small program size also allows for relationships to form and a sense of community between students."

"Time management is key to being successful in the program. The faculty is very helpful and the material is relevant and informative."

"I have never been a "school person" but I really enjoy learning new things just didn't really like the classroom environment. Going to college opened my eyes to the world. I'm from a small country town and have always only known that until leaving for school and now I'm so happy with the decision I made to attend WKU. It's truly been a humbling and learning experience."

"The faculty and staff at WKU are top-notch. They are each caring individuals who have always pushed me to excel in ways I would have previously never thought possible."

"Super supportive faculty. They make sure everyone gets funded for the most part. There could be a greater diversity of classes."

"Western Kentucky University's Educational Leadership Doctoral Program is designed to enable current professionals with an opportunity to seek a doctoral degree. The flexibility of weekend and evening classes with online capabilities makes it a breeze for today's professionals to access the courses needed to graduate. There is absolutely no reason why someone should not seek a doctorate degree in Educational Leadership now that WKU has this program."

"The program is great, and the professors are amazing. I highly recommend this school."

"Western Kentucky University is a great school with a great program that will enable me to be highly competitive in my field."

"I think the school in general needs to improve on their career fairs. The career center provides some support but the career fairs are not good enough and the employers that come sometimes have job openings for only high school graduate and that makes me wonder what they are doing in a university."

"I love the program and my grad assistantship doesn't just pay for my tuition, it's also really fulfilling and interesting."

"The faculty are very engaging and supportive of student success. They always respond to emails promptly and make themselves available for all questions and concerns."

"Pros: Affordable and convenient. Cons: Instructors can be unaccessible at times."

"Most of my program can be completed on-line which makes it great when you have jobs and families! Faculty support has been wonderful! The only disadvantage is sometimes the clarity of assignments is a little unclear, but normally an email to the instructor clears up any concerns."

"I graduated from the exercise science program at WKU. I felt the faculty were very dedicated in helping my to succeed. All were easily approachable and welcoming with any question posed. My experience was an exceptional one that I am very grateful I had the opportunity."

"Western is fine. A lot of it is on line and it is hard to build relationships with professors that way."
