I was happy to make my commitment to PhD program before the April 15th deadline stated on the acceptance letter. HOWEVER, the program had put me on the WAITING LIST. The guarantee funding is taken away because they OVER-OFFER acceptance to this program. This may be a good lesson for future students who want to come to this university! Jun 19 2008 Unknown

The professors in this department are trying disparately to improve the reputation of the department by eliminating grad students via exams and other technical requirements. Most professors are either not capable or not willing to do something significant on their own, so they have grad students do the work for them and offer almost no advice or help in return. Most of the experimentalists are never even found working in the lab, yet they expect students to come in on weekends and even have them write part of the funding proposals for them. These guys are lazy and think that they are so smart that they deserve to be this way. Apr 10 2008 Physics

I can't imagine a better university for learning & professors available and interested in their students. Aug 25 2006 Education

I did an M.A. in Teaching ESL through evening and summer classes. THere is no funding available through the department for MA students, although a professor wrote a grant to get scholarships (which has since been dissolved by the federal government). The faculty is wonderful-- kind, approachable, helpful. They're really there for the students. However, the program/department is too philosophical and not practical enough. There was not enough methodology. I do not, having graduated, really feel ready to teach an ESL class (particularly to adults). Looking at other ESL programs at other universities, it seems there are many that are more oriented towards actually training you to be a successful teacher. However, the tuition was affordable (everyone gets in-state if they take only 1-2 classes, and summer classes are 2 for the price of 1). It was a fairly easy program to take full time while teaching in the public schools, except for the annoying fact that many of the evening classes started at 4 pm, and one can generally not teach in the public elementary schools and make it to 4 pm classes. (This is not the department's fault, but rather the universities building policies). PS. From what I've noticed the CDP program to train teachers who already have BA's but no licensure is a STRONG program that DOES really prepare people to be teachers, as much as any program can.
