North Carolina A&T State University Reviews

"Pros: I am a returning student who has been away from the academic environment for over 20 years. The faculty at NCAT has made my transition seamless. They are supportive, encouraging and very helpful. They provide unsolicited advice and assistance to ensure that my academic experience is meaningful and focused. Cons: I live off-campus and do not have a parking pass. Therefore, I must pay for parking. The cost for parking is $6/day and these fees are an extra burden for an unemployed full-time student."

"My experience with A&T has been an amazing one. It's so family-oriented, and the alumni are still so involved with the school. I made so many great friends and met a lot of good people. There's always something to do on and off campus. Most of my instructors for all of my classes including non-psych were very attentive, motivating, and helpful. The course load for the classes were reasonable and I feel very prepared to start a career in psych and continue my education. To attend this school is to be surrounded by peers who are smart, creative, and driven and teachers who want to see their students reach new heights. Best four years of my life so far. A.G.G.I.E. "Achieving Great Goals In Everything""

"The program exposed me to new and exciting areas of the world. The professors were always very accessible and helpful."

"graduate program is too long. UNCG is shorter and carries same accreditation."

"Academics made me stronger and especially research wise it is a great school and its quality of research is awesome. For international students i hope it goes much better funding wise and opportunity."

"The Occupational Safety and Health program at A&T is on of the top in the industry. My experience with the classes and university have been stellar. They really go out of their way to make sure they reach every student. I am excited about this career path that I have chosen, with the education from A&T I know that I have a prosperous future ahead of me."

"The psychology department at NCAT is one of the best in the country. The faculty are invested in their students' education, and they are very helpful. Psychology is a field that's applicable everywhere, and they offer that information also. NCAT in general is a wonderful HBCU but like every school there will be financial ups and downs. Known for its exciting homecoming, A&T truly is a family. I wouldn't trade my experiences there for the world and I'm grateful for all the bad and good times."

"I taught school in New York for over 20 years as a health /physical education teacher. A&T was tremendous in help me achieve all my goals."

"I loved my graduate program! I am currently applying to return to my graduate institution for an additional degree. There really were no cons to attending. I enjoyed my exoerience from start to finish."

"Pros: -they have very competent faculty -they are very efficient in allocating funds to support grad students -the small size of the department allows more direct communication with the department chair Cons: -most people don't know about the graduate program -they have a lack of resources for support as do other grad schools at times -they don't have enough faculty to cover all the topics"

"The pros of this program I feel like I can go talk to my teachers and they have a clear understanding on how to help me as well help me grow outside of my classroom. For the first semester attending here I have no cons currently."

"A very good academic atmosphere. There is quite a bit of competition and a challenge to excel. Faculty members are reliable for support and direction. One area for improvement will probably be an increase in resources and opportunities for international students, especially those who are on a non-residency status."

"very little information shared with working adult students working adult program extremely rigorous for the full time working adults for which the program is designed"

"Having an initiative seeking mindset is the main focus for being able to achieve most projects and research as a graduate student. However the faculty are very supportive and the student guidance is also very helpful. So far I am very satisfied with the graduate experience."

"I believe that I am a part of a strong Cohort within the Graduate program and that the program is truly producing reknowned individuals within the Adult Education field. We are in the commuities, educational insititutions and corporate companies being effective and changing things for the better."

"The pro's of my graduate program are the 100% employment rate after graduation, the professionalism of the graduate school, and the diversity among students. The cons are the cost for out of state students."

"The program is highly research intensive, and provides alot of collaboration with different schools and government agencies.Due to high focus on research on the cutting edge of science and technology, students not doing research may not get the same benefits as those who do."

"Honestly, the only con that I can think of about my graduate school program is it feels like an extension of my undergrad program here at A&T. I feel like I'm getting a valuable education for free, which I deeply appreciate. I like the area and I believe that I can grow at A&T. I really enjoy most of my professors and this degree will benefit me in the long run, without a doubt."

"The pro is the experiences and opportunities gained from attending graduate school, and the con is the cost."

"The pros of the program is the terrific advisor I have plus the education I am getting is very good. The cons are the financial problems that are affecting us. I am having trouble with the quantity I am getting paid. I was promise a quantity and I am getting $600 less that I was promise."
