Most Recent Reviews
My 2014-2018 program at Morehead State was inconsistent, depending on the instructor. All Instructors in the History department are excellent. Some of my education instructors were excellent, and others saw students as numbers, with little regard to their personal obstacles or mental well-being. The program prepared me for my field in some regards and didn't in others. Overall, it was very inconsistent.
