This University is not hard to get into and the number of students admitted for a Masters Program is Absurd. The I/O Program is very unorganized and they are unapproachable. There are two campuses and if you are going to pursue your masters, attend the Schauburgh campus or have a good method of transportation other than the Shuttle they provide other wise you will not know your professors or have the opportunity to meet with them outside of class time. There are one or two exceptionable teachers at this program however the others are lackluster and unhelpful. If this is the only school you get into go. You will graduate and be happy. But do not go here if you have other choices.

Roosevelt is a growing university in Chicago. I graduated with a masters in Integrated Marketing Communication. For the most part the program was great. The school does not have a very difficult admissions process which is something that all schools should have. College is for education and advancement not for GRE tests. If you cannot maintain a 3.0 you will be removed from the program. I think that this method provides as a better tool than a GRE or other standardized tests.
The professors really paid attention to details for their students and provided real world experience. Like any school we run into some professors that are not as great as other but that is life. Roosevelt was a practical choice for me since it allows working students to take classes at night. One issue that I am hearing about is that Roosevelt is now combining graduates with undergraduates in classes. I would not have stayed at the University with this type of setting.
Roosevelt remains to be a university for non-traditional students. They are trying to change that and for the most part I understand the they are succeeding. The school is very liberal compared to my undergraduate college. This has its advantages and disadvantages. Overall, Roosevelt was a great experience for me.

Do NOT believe Roosevelt's social justice gimmick! Social justice is not possible when the university is at best incompotent. Even grad class sizes are WAY too big for teachers to provide individual instruction. They have a few full faculty members who are great however, you're lucky if you even get a full time faculty member. They claim that methods classes are taught by faculty but they are not. Their adjuncts are terrrible and are hired based on personal connections, not quality of work. The administration cares less. The placement office and financial aid office are even worse. You're lucky if you ever get a correct answer! The teacher prep program is AWFUL at Roosevelt. It is a shame that they pump future teacher at a high tuition rate and put them into the field without educating properly. This school is the biggest waste of money a student could spend.

The program is rock solid in my book. It provides a firm foundation to build on for the future. The instructors are upbeat and want to see their students succeed.

I'm a graduate student pursuing an MBA, so the research section at top didn't really apply. Chicago is home to some high caliber research schools (Northwestern & Chicago). Roosevelt concentrates on student learning. The professors aren't obsessed with publishing their next scholarly effort to increase the school's reputation. They're here to teach and make sure you understand. I have to say, the school is about applying what you've learned more than theory. The administration and faculty expect you to be able to use what you've learned as soon as you get that great new job. I'm glad I went here (I graduate in 2 months). The staff really looks out for its students. I'm surprised it doesn't get more word-of-mouth promotion. Academically speaking, the difficulty of the classes varied. Most had a real-world project involved with a mid-term and final. You should be comfortable working in groups and I will warn you -- if you can't write, you will suffer. Poor analysis and writing will not be tolerated.
