The department keeps students from finishing their degree and change their minds frequently on the reason the student can't graduate. The University is not helpful and always backs the department without even meeting with the students. In addition to not being reliable, the University has had several rapes that have occurred. One was even swept under the rug for 2 weeks by the school. If you want a place where you can get a quality education and feel safe, please Find Another University!

Overall worst staff evr...couple of professors are average at classes others are useless...most of the professors are more in internal politics rather in education...even the student support staff is useless..they dont know a single thing..and they pretend that they know and then misguide us..i got lot of misguidance from this staff and had to go through lot because of that..just be aware if you are attending at fau...dont trust any of the staff..make sure to confirm with another person at same time..

The professors expect very little of their students. Most of the professors are old and keep recycling their old curriculum. There's almost nothing fresh. This MSW program is barely mediocre. If you truly want to learn, go elsewhere. If you want to graduate with an A and don't care about learning, go to FAU.

May be it was the program, I have a masters in Economics and one in Finance from a different university and I did not like the curriculum or the staff attitude

If you have a choice find another school. The lack of funding and politics within this school is just bad. I am a graduate student in my last year and just want to finish what I started. Within my my major I have had only Teaching Assistants as instructors. This is because there is no funding for Fulltime instructors... Hence you will be pretty much self taught. If I can steer anyone from the frustration this school has caused me... maybe my student loan debt for this unsatisfactory education can be justified.

You get what you put in! FAU can be a great school or a crappy degree, but it's what you make of it. I have had success through partnering with professors and working very hard. Social life leaves a little to be desired due to commuter atmosphere.

Florida Atlantic University is corrupt; last year the president and his wife, and a school VP were involved in a felony. This year the film program director is under investigation for misuse of $6 million that he used to travel worldwide and rent a yacht. The director of another graduate program has repeatedly sexually harassed a female student. A master's course was taught by a master's student which is a breach of all accreditation regulations. The school has demonstrated corruption, a lack of ethics, and failure to change. Run, don't walk, away from this school, and Find Another University. Take it from someone who has seen it all.

Nothing but good experiences with faculty - the quality of teaching and research exceeded my expectations! Students are also given opportunities and support in publishing and conference participation. It has been challenging but very rewarding!
