My experience in the School of Education has been extremely disappointing. Classes are poorly planned and entirely focused on theory, and they are a way to put in hours rather than actually learn anything. The school also recruits with the school's reputation, use of stipends, and amount students will learn in their field; however, they no longer award stipends (which they will not verify until midway through first semester), their reputation has been inflated, and the only place students will learn anything truly useful is their placement site. One positive for the program is the yearlong internship, but paying additional funds to the school for a placement site to teach what the program should've been teaching is outrageous.
