Stevenson University Rankings by Salary Score™

I do not recommend anyone go to this school. I am a student there currently and I wish I had never applied. During the COVID-19 Pandemic they showed little care for students’ safety. They did this by forcing the students to come back to campus like nothing was happening. They completely disregarded all the information and data that showed how the virus is at risk of another outbreak. Stevenson University did not make any classes mandatory online classes. Instead, they simply did the most basic preparations.... Read More One basic, and arguably useless, thing they did was making students sign a pledge that says students will practice social distancing (EX: staying 6 ft apart, no guest in dorms, not traveling off campus, etc). No matter how many people sign this pledge there will still be students who disregard all safety precautions, especially when there is not authority figure there to enforce it. Another basic rule they put in place is that students should check themselves for any symptoms of COVID. While checking for symptoms does help combat the virus, the president and vice president of Stevenson University seemed to forget people can have COVID and not show any symptoms. What horrified me the most about Stevenson University’s decision to go back to in-person learning is that the heads of the school know people are going to get the virus. The school has set aside dorms for students who get sick, or worse. In addition, the school made it very clear that no matter how many students get the virus, online learning will not be mandatory. Stevenson University has morgue set aside for sick students, but online learning for everyone is completely out of the question. The vice president also said that students will not be notified when any person on campus test positive for COVID because of privacy (no one needs to know who the person is in order to be notified them having the virus, but I guess that was overlooked). The only reason a person would be notified is if they had been in close contact with the person who tested positive. The president of the school said the reasoning behind making students have in-person learning is because some students did not like the online learning. What the president did not acknowledge is that some students DID like the online learning, so if the foolish excuse of “well some people didn’t like that” is going to be used, the logical thing to do would be to have both online and in-person classes. The president also did not acknowledge that it is better to be uncomfortable than infected with a deadly virus. It should also be noted that very little classes have been reduced in terms of how many students are enrolled in the classes. It’s hard to social distance when there are 25 other people in a small room. I have had countless nights of panic attacks due to my fear of getting COVID, giving it to other people, or my life ending because my school did not care enough about students’ well-being.

I personally loved this program. It does not have concentrations, but I appreciated the approach this program took to encourage students to experience every subdiscipline of psychology before making a decision about which area they like the most for a career. The professors and faculty are very caring and helpful. This program has a career planning sequence that I found incredibly helpful. I have no other friends who have experience with career planning courses and they all wish that they had. This program... Read More really taught me a lot about the field, research, applying for jobs and graduate school, and much more. I transferred here after receiving an associates degree and I honestly wish that I could go back in time and go here for all 4 years! This program gives you so much knowledge and unique experiences (research, conferences, internships, etc.).
