Johnson & Wales University-Providence Rankings by Salary Score™

Jwu presents itself as a good school that is there for the students however it is really not. The moment you have to deal with any faculty at the school good luck. Thought my time at jwu I have gone through having 3 financial planners (they got fired or quit) and 2 academic planners which were both horrible and did not care for my success. A majority of the school is run by adjunct professors and it does not create a comfortable learning environment as well, if a student is in need of accommodations you need... Read More to fight for them to even listen. As well, good luck getting grades in your courses. A majority of the professors I have had do not grade any tests/quizzes or assignments until the end of the semester which makes no sense as you have no clue wether or not you are doing the work properly or not until it is too late. This university is registered as a non profit but is very financially motivated only caring about how to get more tuition money out of students based off the schools mistakes. Maybe their culinary program is different and well structured, however if you are going to apply to jwu for any other program please think twice. If you do attend wait until you see how many people transfer out after the first semester or are miserable dealing with the university for the rest of their enrollment.

Though it's one of the smaller and lesser-known programs at JWU, I cannot speak highly enough about the Graphic Design program. During my time at JWU, I was able to explore several different facets of the design world, including courses in print design, photography, video editing, website developing, print production and more. The professors on staff all have real-world experience in studio, in-house and academic settings, and I found (and still find) their insight invaluable while navigation both the business... Read More and creative sides of the Graphic Design field. The caliber of work that's created within the program only gets better each year. I've returned to campus for the past two years to participate in an annual Alumni gallery and I'm blown away by the accomplishments and work of my peers. The biggest downside with JWU Providence, for me, was not related to ,y program, but to campus life in general. If you aren't in the culinary school, there is not much of a "campus" feeling as your classes and dorms are in downtown Providence. While this is fun and unique for many reasons, it can make the social aspect more challenging than with a traditional college campus. It seemed to me that the best ways to make a large group of friends were to join Greek life or party every weekend, neither of which I was interested in. School-supplied housing is also scarce, so I would not bet on living in a dorm room beyond your Sophomore year.
