Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences Reviews

"It is an awesome program, with lots of assignments to do and test to study but at the end of the day it is worth it."

"It's a very nice school however being an international student it is a bit expensive and no financial aid"

"My graduate program is very challenging because students are expected to function as Physician Assistants in 30 months. However, it is an extremely rewarding program, as you experience personal growth."

"This program has an excellent location and staff, you will receive a good education which is the reason you are here. However, the school is way overpopulated. There is no where near enough study space or resources for all of the students. Also, because the undergraduates live primarily on campus the campus buildings are often very loud as they social in the library among other academic areas."

"MCPHS is a great school with a lot to offer at a small campus. The Worcester campus is all graduate students which gives all the health programs a more adult, professional feel. There are several hospitals in the area, and we are a short drive to Boston."

"Overall MCPHSU is a great place if you know want to be in the health field. However, there is a heavy workload and social life is lacking on campus."

"Pros: Accelerated program with good professors who know their material. They are very accessible and very kind. It's a graduate school. Come prepared. It is not undergrad anymore. Cons: Not much to do in the area, but considering you are in a professional school, it helps focusing on studying."

"Master of Physician Assistant Studies (Boston): Amazing program, great rotation placements, competitive acceptance rates, high quality faculty and classes. Cons: Expensive area to live in, no accessibility to exams after you have taken them, longer PA program than some."

"As a new and evolving program, the physical therapy program faculty and staff at MCPHS University are always open to hear opinions from students on potential changes for the program's future. The students are able to actively participate in changes being made in the school of physical therapy, and in their overall education. There are also plenty of opportunities for fun and extracurricular activities outside of the academic world in Worcester, MA. This makes it easy to create new friendships with peers when first arriving to the school."

"MCPHS is a great university, expanding with diverse programs. I am a part of their fairly new optometry program; and I happy that I will be able to grow with them making use of the many technological advances that will help shape my future. The only downside to a new program is not having years of experience but this all will pass with the building of a stable foundation in this field."

"The MCPHS Physical Therapy program is a relatively young program, but this should not dissuade you from applying or checking out the school. The PT program is located at the Worcester, MA campus. It is located in the heart of the New England's second largest city. The downtown are is very nice and safe. The school recently bought buildings in the downtown area for classrooms and living space for students. Some of the living spaces are conveniently located above classrooms and your class could be potentially just an elevator ride away."

"An expensive school in a great area. School expects grad students to be professional and capable."

"The Worcester campus is fairly new and utilizes all the advancements of technology. Tuition is very reasonable. It is a small town so networking and a social life will take some effort."

"Professors do seem to care about the student's success in the program, and are very accessible in that regard. The workload is difficult and exams do not always correlate closely to the material that was covered, as this has been an issue in multiple courses this past fall semester."
