Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Education  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright I came to NMU as a post-baccalaureate student. I am an engineer who is changing careers to math teaching. I have 2 masters degrees, over 8 years engineering experience, over 7 years experience working with youth, 4 years experience teaching high school and middle school. Yet, NMU would not make any modifications to the teaching certificate program for me. Even though I have over 100+ mathematics credits due to my engineering studies, they still insisted that I take many math courses. (By the way, I took the MTTC before I took all these and passed all the sections of the mathematics test - almost none wrong - other people have to take and retake this test many times to pass.) My level of math understanding is comparable to the professors themselves, really. I could be teaching these classes. The professors and counselors have been most unhelpful and consequently my simple teaching certificate will take 3 years. Also, I am a man from another country (Europe) and have experienced discrimination from the majority of the professors. The professors have demeaned me both with their words and e-mails to eachother. I have lived in the USA for over 15 years, and am a citizen. I have lived in Houston, TX Chicago, IL and Boston, MA and I have never felt more discriminated against than I am right now in Marquette, MI. I do not recommend this education progam to anyone in my situation. Go get an alternative certificate in Milwaukee or Chicago with the Teaching fellows program instead. I feel I have wasted all my time and money here. Perceived Campus Safety: A, Education Quality: F Have a Question? Your Response/Question:     To be informed when someone replies to your comment.

It's not to expensive and seems to have a good program. Be warned, if you don't like snow or cold weather, this is not the place for you. The place is quite liberal. So if you don't mind hearing about a liberal agenda all the time... Education Quality: A+, Useful Schoolwork: C+ Have a Question?
