学生评价
- The professors are awesome. You also have clubs in your major.
- Most of the professors are easy to talk to. There are also options to get help if you need it.
- I actually just switched my focus of study so I'll find out soon. My new department advisor has been quite helpful though.
- It's average. Classes are small so that's great. Easiness varies by professor, but I've yet to come across someone too challenging.
- I don't mind the workload, but some of the professors are hard to learn from or get along with.
- Decent program, need more class offerings.
- I really enjoy being a photo major. The workload isn't that bad, and you have time to do and try new things. We have a great film lab and an awesome professor. Not sure how the job atmosphere is right now.
- They have a good system for registering for classes, easy and online. the professors, with the exception of one or two, are invested in their students and are willing to work with you.
- I often feel that the school is too big and professors do not take time to get to know their students.*(5)
