Loyola Marymount University Reviews

"I have truly enjoyed my time thus far in the Systems Engineering graduate program at LMU. The content is interesting and the professors challenge their students to think critically."

"I believe the program is well rounded and diverse, providing its student with competitive and knowledgeable skills to apply to the work field. Unfortunately the program is incredibly expensive and often difficult to manage."

"Loyola Marymount University created a partnership with Teach for America to give full-time teachers the ability to receive their teaching credential and master's in two years. This program worked around the full load of teachers to ensure efficient classrooms where we could learn to perfect our craft. One of the more challenging aspects was the money needed to pay for the program. Although given a financial aid award, it was challenging to manage the cost of living in Los Angeles while also paying tuition on a teacher's salary."

"Law school is a competitive, stressful, and at times, grueling journey. The community that Loyola Law School, Los Angeles fosters is extremely supportive and the faculty is committed helping its students succeed."

"This program is excellent for those of all theological interest, whether pastoral or academic. There is a diversity of classes offered, and all cater to working professional schedules. The professors are available often, and all have been encouraging and helpful in and out of the classroom. Although the degree is expensive, it is worth the price because Loyola Marymount offers an unparalleled network of scholars and professionals in any field of study. Our professors publish frequently and moderate highly acclaimed academic journals. Even in their expertise, they are happy to take on students to help them with these endeavors, giving them experience and exposure."

"An expensive but good university. Feeling well-prepared for practicum having been in the Educational Psychology program for a year now."

"I love the School Counseling program at Loyola Marymount University. I specifically love the small classroom sizes and have had great experience so far with all the faculty that teach in the School Counseling program."

"The pros of the School of Education Masters program at Loyola Marymount University: -Teacher attention and support are top-notch! -Workload is challenging, yet relevant to today's issues in education. -Campus and surrounding students emit a "pro-learning" environment where people are always studying (so I have to study too!) - Professors have impressive background and experience that brings the classrooms to life. The cons of the School of Education Masters program at Loyola Marymount University: - this is the FIRST year we must pay for parking - Could use more CSET examination support - Needs an Education club/network - Lack of seminars featuring special guests"

"The graduate program is great at this university. The small classes makes the quality of education extremely beneficial. The relationships between students and professors are very personable and entails great communications. The small classes also makes it easy for students to get to know one another better. It forces students to reach out to new people and gain the best of their education through dialogue. The cons of this school is the financial accessibility for low income students. It is extremely pricey and financial aid does not provide any grants. There should be more financial aid given to students in need."

"Loyola Marymount is a great school academically. I feel that the schools provide resources needed to get the best education possible at their university. However, I believe that it is not financially accessible for students that can not afford their expensive education. There is not a lot of financial aid, and students are left in the hole after graduating."

"A wonderful graduate program that prepares students to become practicing art therapists. Great staff and campus."

"Marital & Family Therapy department is a comprehensive, competitive program that prepares graduates to enter the mental health field to practice clinical based Art Therapy. The department has built an incredible staff and strong Clinic that works in the surrounding community."

"pros: faculty, nice campus, friendly peers, compared to most MBA programs, tuition is a little more affordable, but won't know what kind of opportunities I can with the LMU brand until I complete the program"

"One of the biggest pros that has come from my graduate program is how knowledgeable all of my professors are on the subject matter. One of the cons is that there is not enough financial aid"

"Pros: Great professors, great networking, everyone seems to really care & are easily accessible (professors, financial aid, health center, etc.) Cons: Expensive, Limited financial aid for grad students."

"the pros to my program is that it is once a week in the evening which allows for me to work a full time schedule."

"Safe, competitive and a good learning experience."

"The program and the advisors are very much friendly and helpful. The time allows you to have a day time job and that is a pro. One of the only cons, is the cost, and that is something that they help with, by offering scholarships."

"Cons: School is ridiculously expensive. Career services is helpful, but a list of helpful tips only gets you so far. Networking events on campus would be helpful. Pros: Being in Los Angeles offers a lot of opportunity. Library area that is open for 24 hours is convenient."

"Pros: they prepare you for the working world in a way that other schools do not Cons: expensive area to live in"
