This university has the best professors, quality education, and a community you can rely one. As an international student, I have felt at home in this university. It is very affordable and can't wait to become an alumnus of this school because they have been great people in supporting the school

My life on campus has been a good and rewarding experience that has helped me a lot in shaping my personal and academic development. I experienced a sense of belonging since the time I joined and that has helped me to adapt to a new environment. The atmosphere in the campus was inviting, eclectic and accommodative to enable me to engage with students of other backgrounds and cultures. This experience opened up my mind and made me acquire more effective communication and social skills.

Completing my Doctorate through the Family Medicine PA program at Adams State was a transformative experience. The academic rigor and clinical focus truly prepared me for the demands of my career. I highly recommend this institution for advanced medical study.

Adams State University was a great school overall. The academics were there, most of the faculty members were helpful. The cost for education was close to nothing while getting a good education. The campus is small enough to make it easy to get around while also having enough parking for commuting students.

The CACREP accredited Counseling program was wonderful. I was able to complete this degree in the evenings and weekends and I learned so much. No problem matching with an internship site either. This degree changed my life in allowing me to become a licensed practitioner in Ohio and dramatically increase my personal income and satisfaction level in my career. I would highly reco this program to working professionals, parents or anyone with other responsibilities in their lives. Fabulous program.

Im sorry to say that I was enrolled in and graduated from the Adams State University CRM MA program. My time spent in this program was nothing but a nightmare. The professors didnt respond to emails or phone calls, they didnt submit grades on time, and the course content was laughable. This entire program was a joke. The professors admitted that they didnt have time to read the dissertations they were signing off on, and while serving on thesis committees they sometimes delayed scheduling student... Read More

Having attended my undergrad on campus I was worried about an online program, however, my experience with ASU has been outstanding. The office staff is amazing and attentive to all my concerns, the instructors are knowledgeable and get me excited about becoming a future therapist. During my five semesters at ASU, I have only had one professor that I would classify as not great. The impressive piece was the academic advisor asked for feedback and I felt heard; my issue was addressed very quickly.... Read More

I am still currently in school, the online option has really helped me to get this program done. There is plenty of support offered by the school. I am a busy single parent that does not have time to go to campus for classes. I want to further my education and without online I wouldn't be able to. They also very good at working with me when I am struggling to get things submitted early. They are understanding of life and work well with their students to ensure they get a quality education/

The school offers various opportunities for financial aid. Due to the low student to teacher ratio getting help isn't a big issue. The location of the school is beautiful - Mountain ranges and Sand Dunes! Technology use could be improved though it isn't to far behind and student activities definitely need improvement. Transportation could be more accessible. Overall: Good education, the details need to be worked out to better service students.

I love that it is online, and completed in only five semesters. The work load is VERY heavy, however. It's very difficult to take two classes and work full time, which is what all of my cohort is doing. I love how most of my coursework is immediately applicable to what I'm teaching my students in my own classroom.

The online courses can easily fit in to a professional work schedule, and most professors acknowledge that the students are working full-time jobs while attending graduate school.

I like the convenience of the on line program. I have had medical issues during my studies and it has caused difficulty. At one point the college lost all of my records and I had to resubmit transcripts, letters of recommendation and application. It has at times been frustrating.

Overall, the school is nice. The graduate program costs more for online classes. There should have been an option to take the cheaper, in-person classes, instead of the sport management degree being all online. The graduate assistant scholarship does not cover all of tuition like promised.

I am only in my first year of the program, but I feel that I have learned a lot of information so far. I will be doing my first classes on campus this summer. I am glad that this program exists because I live in rural Colorado and there isn't a school where I live that goes beyond an Associates Degree. With children of my own moving is out of the question for now.

The pros are the educators are concerned about your learning experience. The con would be the number of scholarships.
