This is a wonderful school that has a lot of positive elements to offer prospective students. I have loved working closely with the faculty to challenge myself academically. Jan 20 2012 Political Science

First let me tell you a bit about my academic background. I completed my undergraduate degree at the University of California Berkeley. As a Legal Studies major within the Jurisprudence Social Policy program, I began my work of looking at how interdisciplinary subjects interact with the legal system. What I found most riveting was the resulting social repercussions of such relations. My primary academic interest encompasses how broad socially normative philosophies in both law and politics directly impact agency definition. I am interested in both domestic and international domains. A Masters in American Politics will give me the foundation I need to pursue a career in a number of professional domains. I chose CGU because of the responsiveness of the administration, the support of the faculty and the prestige and reputation of the University. I am astounded by the amount of individual attention I have received from faculty thus far. My time at CGU has been nothing but rewarding and positive. It is my pleasure to share my experience any way I can. Students at CGU dream big. They are focused and motivated to both understand society while acquiring the tools necessary to transform the social order. The trans-disciplinary approach to graduate education promoted at CGU makes it viable to inculcate dynamic skill sets that set CGU Graduates apart as compelling applicants. Likewise, the close professional network that students gain is instrumental in future job placements. The culture of the West Coast is more laid back than many other parts of the country. In my experience, people here tend to be more outgoing and accommodating. Claremont is an eclectic and very charming town that has a very artistic vibe. While Claremont Graduate University is a relatively small school, it is surrounded by the other Claremont Colleges, which together make up the Claremont University Consortium. Furthermore, there are a number of Institutes associated with CGU that routinely promote student involvement. Jan 20 2012 Political Science

Claremont has been great in every way except for one... funding. The faculty is great, research is great, everything... I would recommend going here to anyone. It's very nice to have an applied emphasis which is rare in graduate programs. Basic research is important, but the focus is more on really making things happen. I think this is great.

I'm almost done with the PhD but I regret coming to this university. There are not enough faculty members to choose from in terms of doing research or even to mentor me. It took me a long time to find someone to work with me. And I'm so much in debt with student loans. Feb 24 2008 Psychology

The Islamic Studies program in CGU is very new. There is only ONE professor available who specializes in Islam, and too bad he is an endowed chair. He can care less about his students. For two years virtually, he hasn't once expressed interest in my research prospects or for that matter anybody else's. CGU is great school overall, if you do Psychology, Business or Informational systems. Do no go there for Islamic Studies. Jun 01 2007 Unknown

Apologies for the inaccuracies of my previous post: I took the online announcements of "zero student surveys" and "be the first to rate Claremont Graduate University" to literally. Feb 25 2007 Education

I have never attended this "university," but have visited it (when it was called a "graduate school") and have for years considered attending it. Why am I the first, and, thus far, only person to send in a comment? Feb 25 2007 Education

The faculty is not the problem it is the administration. Don't believe the propaganda, this program is not as good as they sell it to be. It is not worth the money to go to this school. I regret the decision to go here and will for the next ten years while I am paying off my student loans. Jan 26 2007 Education

Going to CGU was the best thing I ever did. The quliaty of this institution matches or exceeds any graduate school that I've experienced or heard about -- anywhere. Aug 20 2005 School of Information

I am very pleased with this school. The people (students, faculty, and staff) are great and extremely supportive. We are a very unique university (the only one like it in the nation) and it is a great community to be a part of! Jan 29 2004 Psychology

I have been at this university for three years now and it has been a great experience. It is a small school and faculty are very willing to spend time working with you. Our Master's and PhD programs are fantastic. CGU is the only free-standing graduate university in the nation. It is a great place for a top-quality education Jan 28 2004 Psychology

This unique University is incredibly hands on and offers tons of one on one attention from faculty and staff. Students corroborate together well and the workload is manageable. Jan 27 2004 Psychology

CGU is a small Graduate University, only two of a kind in the U.S. Therefore, the faculty expect everyone to work with the intent of moving to the professional or academic world. Many students have a tough time adjusting to life with no undergraduates. There are many bright students and the classes are small, professors accessible and the course offering though at times slim are very interesting and sometimes non traditional, i.e. Race & Racism, Teaching Women's History and many others.

I have not finished my degree because my entire department was destroyed from within for political rather than educational reasons. No remedies were provided or made available and as of this date I am still unable to form a workable committee. Apr 22 2001 History/Histories (art history/etc.)
