University of Central Florida Reviews

"The Master's of Science in Nanotechnology program at UCF is fairly new. I am currently enrolled in it and I couldn't be happier. It is full of a variety of people from different scientific backgrounds so there is a lot of exposure to science outside of what I learned for my Bachelor's degree. All of the professors are incredibly knowledgeable about the subjects they teach and a very involved in everyone's learning. I would recommend this university and this program for anyone!"

"There is no reason for any student who attends the University of Central Florida to not be prepared for a career. The faculty emphasizes using their services to get internships and experience. My advisers frequently informed me of opportunities available to me."

"With over 60,000 students enrolled, the University of Central Florida is, of course, a large university, but aims to always foster a strong sense of inclusion. At this school, you will not get lost among the numbers! In an academic sense, especially as you begin classes in your major, the classroom size is great for learning. The instructors are professionals in their field and have an abundance of relevant knowledge to pass on to students, in addition to what you learn in the classrooms. The courses required for my major provided me with many of the resources needed to excel in my career. In terms of campus involvement, there is always activities going on! From the sports to campus activities to greek life, there is definitely something for everyone here. UCF allows you the opportunity to get a great education, make lifelong friendships, and always have something fun to do."

"The education programs at University of Central Florida are pretty rigorous with the focus on making you the best educator you can be. This program requires you to complete service learning hours working in schools as well as two internship opportunities. This definitely prepares you to find work once you are done with opportunities to network through your work in schools and various conferences. The overall school experience was good, plenty of activities for student involvement and fun vibe on campus. VERY SAFE! Police presence is evident on campus and makes you feel secure knowing there are over 60,000 students in attendance at any time."

"UCF offer a diverse environment with many opportunities to network. Get involved and make connections as soon as you can! If you're interested in research, establish a plan from the get go. UCF is also a fun place! Sports , the arts, and close to several attractions."

"The Clinical Psychology, M. A. program at the University of Central Florida is an amazing training program. It is clear that the professors care about their students and want them to succeed. Cohort sizes are intimate which promotes closeness between members. The first semester is the most rigorous in terms of amount of work, and then it levels out as clinical experiences begin. The professors are extremely knowledgeable about the mental health field and I feel very comfortable approaching them with questions about mental health counseling. Students have the opportunity to apply what we learn through role playing exercises in class as well as reviewing videos. The professors are big advocates of self-care, which is necessary with this kind of work! All in all, I feel that I could not have ended up in a better program for me. I am grateful for the training I am receiving."

"UCF is truly special. My favorite thing is the diversity and inclusion of students. This diversity of thought leads to innovative cross-disciplinary research and conversations that have broadened my worldview and perspective. What's more, the professors care deeply about your development--especially in the Industrial and Organizational Psychology Master's program. I am so grateful for my experiences, and would recommend it to anyone interested in pursuing an unforgettable high quality education."

"I enjoyed my time spent learning at the University of Central Florida. The class times the courses worked well with my work schedule and the hands on experience the school provided really helped me to prepare for my field of work."

"The University of Central Florida's Master's degree in Exercise Physiology helped prepare me for a career in physical therapy. It allowed me to gain acceptance to start doctor of physical therapy school. The volunteer/research opportunities are endless as the program has a huge Human Performance lab where studies are being conducted all the time. Dr. H. and Dr. S. do a great job in teaching the courses."

"The I/O PhD Program is an extremely research intensive and diverse program with rigorous courses. Despite the heavy workload, professors work to ensure that each and every student is fully equipped to excel in courses as well as independent research projects. I would recommend anyone interested in pursuing a doctoral degree in I/O Psychology to consider studying at UCF."

"It has a nice campus. It's very big and has a lot of students. The union has a large variety of restaurants, and hanging out on campus is nice."

"The University of Central Florida is a progressive and academically sound institution to obtain your graduate degree."

"The college is average overall. Traffic was bad during 8am to 1pm, the professors in the IT department were fair to me, but the cost is outrageous."

"It is a huge school and plenty of teachers that have a vast amount of knowledge in their field. Because it is so big, your experience in the classroom can vary depending on the teacher you have. Some professors are knowledgeable, but cannot convey this knowledge in a simple manner to students."

"The University of Florida is a world class institution of learning and research. I was able to learn from professors who have earned advanced degrees, but also who have worked in the field that I wanted to enter. When I arrived on campus I did not know what I wanted to major in, but with the help of some University employees I was able to choose Civil Engineering. Attending a school with such a wide variety of majors gave me many choices. I am very happy with the education I received."

"As an undergraduate alumni and current graduate student, I have been pleased with the quality of professors. Most of them seem to really care about student success and challenge them accordingly. As an accounting major you will be challenged to nearly wanting to quit school but stick it out until the end and you will realize how much you actually learned and make it through. It certainly is not a degree for the weak and lazy but is achievable for the dedicated!"

"UCF is a rising star among the great school on the east coast. I attended during my undergrads and after graduation I landed on a job at Lockheed Martin. I am proud to go back for my M. S. If you are looking for an affordable school to start a career you can make UCFyour home. Like they say UCF a better place to start!"

"I would recommend UCF for students interested in hospitality and engineering. For art students, I have to say there is little or no opportunity for advancement or guidance. As a film student, it's disappointing how little interaction there is with other departments. It's almost clique like."

"If pursuing a Health Service Administration degree highly advise to also consider a clinical background experience certification. Very difficult to work within the HSA sector unless you personally know someone. HSA degree is a bit complicated to find job security in FL however very useful for other states."

"The University of Central Florida is a great campus with a lot to offer current and future students. With a variety of clubs and activities, it is an ideal college to attend. While all of the degrees offered by the college are great, there are some that are lacking in setting students up for a career after graduation. With that said, take extra care in choosing UCF for certain programs and do your homework on each degree. UCF has so much to offer if your are willing to take advantage of it all."
