Student & Graduate Reviews

Degree: Liberal Studies
Graduation Year: 2017
“ Great courses and instructors. Facilities could use improvement, and much much construction/change will occur in the near future. ”

Degree: Psychology
Graduation Year: 2017
“ Our program offers Ph.D. students funding and a tuition waver, which is wonderful. The students are very collaborative and supportive, as it is a non-competitive program. The coursework is interesting, relevant and challenging. I do wish our program offered more technological perks (e.g., SPSS, EndNote), as well as more paid applied opportunities, particularly over the summer. The surrounding area, Fort Collins, provides enough culture to satisfy all my city needs (e.g., music, dining, fitness), and the surrounding Rockies are beautiful. There is a lack of diversity in this part of the country, however. ”

Degree: Mechanical Engineering
Graduation Year: 2014
“ The CSU graduate program operates in a way that gives grad students much freedom in choosing their research and class subjects. Due to this freedom, it is easy to find something you are interested in. In addition, they have one of the leading research groups in alternative fuel vehicles which looks towards the future and working on ways to find solutions to lessening the petroleum demand in the US. The only problem at CSU is that many of the projects work on little funding making it more difficult to complete them. However, as a student, this problem allows us to become more resourceful as engineers. ”

Degree: Liberal Studies
Graduation Year: 2011
“ There are very few career options for my graduate degree. This is not told to you up front. I feel that CSU just sees it as a money making venture. ”

Degree: Liberal Arts
Graduation Year: 2014
“ CSU isn't culturally diverse. Growing up in a big city and different culture makes it pretty hard adjusting to living in Fort Collins. The culture shock has negatively impacted on my mind. However the quality of research based teaching is very inspiring and leaves me looking forward to replicating the same thing as a future professor. ”

Degree: Education
Graduation Year: 2013
“ While it can be quite a bit of work to get through this program, you know you are getting out of it what you put into it. Put in the effort, and you will be rewarded with fantastic references from very respected professors and researchers. ”

Degree: Health Sciences
Graduation Year: 2013
“ Fort Collins is great, but the Health Communication concentration could have some more class options. ”
4.17 out of 5.0
-
Degree: Health Sciences
Graduation Year: 2014
“ Not many hands-on activities until your junior and senior years. The class sizes are large, so you don't really get to know the clinical professors until your third and fourth years. ”
3.58 out of 5.0
-
Degree: Fine Arts
Graduation Year: 2014
“ The teachers are really helpful, but ultimately Fine Arts degrees are what you make of them, regardless of the expertise of the staff. ”
