Eastern Illinois University Reviews

"My graduate program at Eastern Illinois University is CACREP accredited, which means that I am receiving a quality education and will be a licensed qualified mental health professional at the time of graduation. Additionally, the Counseling and Student Development program is a first-choice graduate program at Eastern Illinois University with a great reputation at various mental health agencies in the community."

"The pros are that the our adviser is awesome! She will work with you to help you get in the classes you need. She is always quick to reply to questions about the classes you need to take. She is a hard worker and tries to help you out as much as possible! Dr. W. is AWESOME!"

"Eastern Illinois University has an excellent program for the teaching profession. The professors and instructors strive to give the best possible learning experience possible. My teaching practices have improved and my classroom will benefit greatly as a result of the education I have received from EIU."

"Pros were that the community is a great place to live, you always feel safe, and Eastern is one of the most affordable schools in the state of Illinois. The only con is that there is not a lot of shopping in the area, and as a grad student free time can be hard to fill believe it or not."

"The School Psychology Program at EIU is of very high quality. The faculty members are dedicated to making sure students are well-rounded and very well-prepared to go out into the world as competent, confident School Psychologists, and they are incredibly supportive. The workload and difficulty level is somewhat higher than other similar programs, but that is just a part of a higher quality of training. Being from the Chicago suburbs, the rural surroundings were a bit difficult to get used to, but there is still plenty to do in Charleston, IL and surrounding areas!"

"The pros of my graduate program is that I love nutrition and helping people. The cons is that with the economy and job available I can not find a job or afford to live on what I make now."

"Pros - faculty is very friendly and supportive. Their office doors are always open to answer questions. The program is competitive and challenging, but it prepares students well. Cons - Charleston is not a very exciting area. The campus isn't very pretty."

"Great small town school. Love the teachers and the one on one you get with them"

"The faculty are extremely invested in their graduate students."

"I have had nothing but good experience with my graduate program at EIU."
