Degree: Communications

CSU Stanislau is a decent school for obtaining credentials affordably and efficiently, but no more than that. The campus culture is very much that of a commuter college and if you're looking for involvement in anything outside of academics, it is scarce. The academic organization, however, does promote a welcoming environment in terms of accessibility and aid. The quality of academics within this university are highly dependent on the department and faculty - standardization across the department... Read More

CSU is an amazing school. They give so many opportunities and are very helpful in helping you find your career path. The staff and academic advisors are very helpful and knowledgeable. This university has many options to pursue your career they but only have online and in class courses but they help you with finding the cater and the right path for you so you don’t get lost in the way to a success.

Degree: Counseling Psychology

This school had a lot to offer. The professors often taught multiple classes within the same area, which allows students to get to know them more personally. There is access to many different kinds of services on campus, which makes life more convenient as a student. There can be professors who are not open to differing opinions, which can be challenging. Overall, it was a great experience and there was support available when needed.

Degree: Business Administration

California State University is a very good school, just make sure that you are only going in for four majors, Math, Computer Science, and Nursing. If you can't do these four than don't go into college. Everything else is not worth your time and is a waste of FAFSA money. Business is too general and everything else is only there to make you poor.

This program was accelerated and highly desirable for the allied health professional career seeker. The director is also the director of the nursing programs on campus so if you want to apply for the accelerated master in nursing program on campus after your undergrad is completed it is very helpful by starting with this program. The degree is a B.S. with an emphasis in health care leadership. The professors are local healthcare professionals and highly active in the community. I would recommend... Read More

Graduating from CSU Stanislaus' Sociology program is hands-down the best experience I've had. The professors are there to mentor you, to guide you, encourage you, and believe in you. Every professor I've had, has been passionate about their subject matter and has been a valuable resource. The campus is beautiful and is small enough to know people, but big enough to not feel overly crowded. The staff have been great and it's overall a great school for the cost. Other students are also usually friendly... Read More

CSU Stanislaus was a great program for me specifically, and I felt like it was a good "fit". I was able to join different honors societies and participate in community service events that helped me network with working professionals. This ultimately helped me getting a better "feel" for what I wanted to do with my life in the long run. CSU Stanislaus is a small school, that most people consider to be a commuter school, but they are growing and expanding it across a variety of fields, while also partnering... Read More

The instructors were knowledgeable, friendly and very helpful. They took the time to get to know their students. Classes were easy to get into and not overcrowded. The psychology department was up to date on the latest research and techniques. The library had all the latest research journals. The campus is small comparatively but offers a lot.

Degree: Biology

I was disappointed to be going to a school so close to home. Looking back, I would not change a thing. The small school feel allowed for personal relationships with professors and peers of the same degree which was a huge encouragement to succeed. Most professors are researchers and research project opportunities are abundant! I was able to work with one of my favorite professors and learn what a professional in the field does on a daily basis.

This is an excellent program. The doctorate program in leadership is geared towards working people. The program has changed to encourage and motivate people to enroll in the program. This program has 2 years of academic courses and one year in writing your dissertation. It is composed of 36 months. Classes are taken in the Summer, Fall, and Spring for three years. This program is rigorous and has excellent teachers willing to guide and assist you. Professors will give feedback and answer questions.... Read More

Degree: Teaching

The graduate program has a very charismatic faculty that is not only willing to help you achieve your goal, but takes a personal interest in your success. I feel like the faculty cares and understands the pressures of being a college student. The cons are that the program is not as clearly spelled out in a list of what needs to be done to finish the program completely. Maybe having an available checklist for all programs would be beneficial.

The college is well maintained and the teachers are friendly and helpful. It is very liberal, things like LGTB drag queens flaunt about on campus and are praised. However, if you are able to ignore this, the education is affordable (somewhat) and most teachers really want to teach.

I wouldn't highly recommend this university for their social sciences. I'm still very disappointed in the lack of education I received. The professors aren't great quality, a few should have retired eons ago, and the rest are out to be your friend, not impart any kind of wisdom.
