"Class sizes were great an cost was manageable. I had the best experience with faculty. I was able to be involved in many internships and leadership roles. I found out who I was in and outside of the classroom. DH is why I am in graduate school now."

"Honestly, GCU is way better than the school where I earned my B.A. I went to California state University school and honestly, GCU is far more helpful in obtaining my degree. I always get my questions answered quickly. The workload is very demanding, but all assignments are usually clearly explained. Usually depends on the instructor, but most of them are on top of their class. I heard some people had problems with financial aid, I can say I had absolutely no problems with financial aid. It was a smooth and fast process. Unlike the public cal state school I attened, which took up to 3 months to award me financial aid."

"The Business program at CSUDH was small and class size was small. I liked it a lot because I got a lot of one on one time with professors and got to know my classmates. Most people I started the program with graduated at the same time I did and it was nice to work closely with them in the program."

"The academic rigor and quality of training served as preparation into the doctorate program. I really enjoyed the diversity, social life, peer support, and knowledge I gained during the Masters program. With the exception of one professor, all faculty members were extremely knowledgeable and giving of their time."

"The pros of this program would have to be the diversity. Cons would be that there isn't much social activities."

"I love my professors. They are engaging and passionate about the work they do. They staff of my program has been very helpful in terms of helping me get financial aid. I am not used to the campus. I went to CSU Long Beach previously, so the social culture on this campus is still foreign to me."

"I believe the teaching credential program at my school is a great place for aspiring teachers to learn about and practice the art of teaching. In this program, students are being taught by people who have many years of experience in the same field and are passionate about the teaching profession. There are many counselors available to help students figure out exactly what their career goals are. This program also offers an entire class that focuses on classroom management. I believe my school is the only school whose credential program has such a class. Even though there are many great things about the program, I wish there were more financial aid options for students."

"My other options for graduate school were superficially more prestigious than CSUDH, but once I got into the program and began working with my professors, I realized that they were highly intelligent, informed, and in love with their subject. The TESOL program here has a very high focus on linguistics and pedagogy. What you receive is sort of a double concentration, though that is not to say that either is less focused. Rather, the rigors of the program are increased by a multifaceted approach to language as a whole. I am very happy to have chosen this school. If other programs outside of their English department are anywhere near as good then it is a solid choice for many graduates."

  • Degree: Occupational Therapy
"Pros: CSUDH is a nice, clean and safe campus. All of the professors are highly knowledgable and have spent time working in occupational therapy. The cohorts are small, so you feel connected to the other students. It is a highly competitive program so everyone in your cohort is motivated to do well and help eachother succeed. There are many opportunities for fieldwork to prepare you for your first job placement. Cons: The courses are all pre-selected so you don't have a choice of what or when you take class. However, I find it less stressful because you don't have to worry about getting into classes."

"California State Dominguez Hills is a commuter school that serves majority low income individuals that came from impoverished areas. The school while not top of the line or bustling with student life does give you a decent education for an affordable price."

"CSUDH has been labeled poorly, but it is actually a very nice and quiet school. The teachers are there because they genuinely want to be and care about the subjects they are teaching, at least in my experience in the Linguistics program. The programs at the school are generally smaller than at other CSU's, but I find that by having fewer professors and getting to know them more intimately I will have a better connection on which to fall back when I apply to a PhD program. All in all in this a great school and the facilities, such as its huge library, support the student body and promote self-motivation and research."

"CSU, Dominguez Hills has been absolutely amazing to me. I have felt challenged, encouraged and supported. Like any other school there have been some cons. For example, even tho DH is mainly a commuter school there have been some instances where faculty has not been understanding that our students are not traditional graduate students but those with families, and jobs ect. However, the good outweighs the bad. When my brother passed unexpectedly the faculty worked with me. They have mentored and guided me. I love my school and am very thankful for this experience."

"CSUDH is a very progressive and innovative university. I designed and presented my unique interdisciplinary program to the university which it was approved in 2011. It is a groundbreaking course of study with no real precedent. The pros included the ability to add something new while building on the existing educational framework. The cons included the struggle to break ground on something so new."

"The pros is the strong cohort the program is begging to have. The education is semi affordable. The professors have great work experience they share with the students. The cons are not having a good cafeteria. The commute is ridiculous. The campus needs a lot of work. Lastly, the campus need 24hr store or library service."

  • Degree: Curriculum & Instruction
"The C & I program allows you to cater to your interest. There are many choices to explore (e.g. language arts, adult ed, special ed, math and science curriculum development). However, the instructors are too few and overworked making it VERY difficult to even set up a counseling or registration appt. I had to push and fight for meetings and phone appts as well as take complete charge of my own progress. About 65% of my instructors were highly competent, inspirational, and a joy to learn from."

  • Degree: Occupational Therapy
"The occupational therapy program is very nicely structured. It makes it easier for students to apply knowledge learned in the clinic and also builds a network for the future. The professors are highly motivated and are eager to learn about each and every student. The program focuses both on individualism as well as collaboration and team work which will really benefit the student in the long run. The area may not be great, however, it is a small price to pay for the high quality of education you receive in the program itself."
