Northwestern University

Kellogg has a great program for part-time students, and the quality of instruction is top-notch. I wish there were more financial aid options for students who work in non-traditional fields, whose employers may not be sponsoring their education.

It is a very strong school academically though their community orientation and customer service was not as strong as the university I attended for my undergraduate degree. The professors were highly knowledgeable about their content area and generally available to students with questions and concerns.

Pros: access to world class network of alums Cons: Not located in Chicago but in nearby Evanston

The MPPA program at Northwestern has been a valuable experience for my future. I was exposed to a vast amount of policy situations ranging from education to human resource management. I met many people who are very passionate about policy and who will stimulate change in the United States. I was able to complete the program while working. Because the major covers so many dimensions of policy it was a bit disconnected. Overall, a great program!

A top tier graduate school with an outstanding network, reputation, and quality of faculty.

This program is worth the effort. I know that the stress of having a full course load on top of working with actual clients from the first quarter will pay off. I feel responsible for my education, yet I know I have the most amazing support system in my experienced and approachable faculty. I am proud to be a student at Northwestern University.

The MS in Communications program at Northwestern is one of the best in the country. Students commute from other states on a weekly basis to be part of the program. This is a testament to the exceptional education provided. One has to be willing to put in the work to fully capitalize on this great opportunity.

The Master of Arts in Liberal Studies is a unique blend between a practice-based arts degree like an MFA and an academic-based degree like an MA Lit. Students have the freedom to choose their own combination of humanities classes to combine in an interdisciplinary focus. This program encourages students to analyze culture by exploring the fascinating connections between literature, art, music, theater, and other humanities.

My graduate program does a great job at providing internship information, but not enough is done for part time students who also work - no loan, scholarship, financial aid.

Pros: wonderful people, amazing faculty, Chicago and all it has to offer, research facilities and library, collaborative environment Cons: my program is not diverse (no female faculty, no people of color), the graduate stipend does not go very far especially when you have to travel to conferences or job applications

Definitely one of the best MBA programs around - huge brand and a great establishment for learning. Tuition is steep however, and with a lack of financial aid, students will have to source for their own financing

The IMC program is so applicable to the things I do at work everyday. I truly enjoy going to class at night and find value in all of the courses I have taken so far. I highly recommend this program.

A great education that is available no matter where you live. Northwestern faculty in a distance learning environment. You can not find a better situation that the MS in Predictive Analytics.

A versatile and relevant program that focuses on managerial challenges and can be applied to a broad range of disciplines.

Pros: The program offers everything that is necessary to succeed in academia as long as you take initiative as a grad student. Cons: There isn't enough mental or academic support for students when they start to falter.

Great faculty support. Frequent visits from leading scholars from around the world to teach, give talks and conference. Comparative literature program is intellectually diverse and highly flexible to accommodate variety of interests. Great location. Half an hour away from Chicago downtown. Quiet and safe neighborhood.
