Degree: Music

While I interacted with some wonderful individual faculty, the overall rigor was severely lacking. Ultimately, I felt that the educational environment did me a disservice. I wish I had had someone who could have spoken up about the problems I clearly was encountering. I was a straight-A student, yet my main instructor hindered me to a concerning degree.

Degree: Business

The school was great to work with from application to graduation. They communicated quickly and was responsive to any needs that I had. Using Canvas was a good platform and was easy to navigate. My one suggestion for improvement is the graduation ceremony. It's pretty much a walkthrough with where you lineup elsewhere, walk the stage, and go out another door. That's it. I recommend more of a ceremony.

Degree: Early Childhood Education

Do not recommend going into Early Childhood Education, the pre-k practicum is a joke and you will not learn much. I would stick to elementary education at Pitt or find a different school for early childhood programs. You will have better luck learning on Pinterest and in a real classroom

Degree: International Business

I would highly recommend Pittsburg State University to anyone who is seeking an MBA. The professors are excellent. While I did find this program quite challenging at times, it is definitely worth the investment. Whether you are majoring in international business, human resources, or accounting I would suggest the school.

Degree: Exercise Science

Pittsburg State University is a fantastic mid-sized institution committed to developing it's students into the most effective professionals in the area. Known for it's College of Education, Nursing, and Arts and Sciences, PSU is a name on a resume that is meaningful to employers. The exercise science, bio/pre-med, psychology, and nursing programs provide premium education with a reputation for excellence. The class sizes at PSU are small, allowing instructors to get to know each student personally.... Read More

Pitt State is the place to go if you want to be the best nurse you can be. I was thoroughly prepared to pass boards and work in a current, up to date environment.

Degree: History

Not good. Standards have been lowered since I graduated to where I do not believe people are receiving the education they should. People should leave college with a degree where they do know how to do Algebra, know how to tell daylight hours from night without any problems and write book reports without cheating. The library should hold more importance than the football field with regular changes in books, without having any that literally belong in a museum. Also the library should be a quiet place...

Degree: Nursing

The MSN program made me feel prepared going into my first job as a healthcare provider. I think that this is quality education that is not overpriced, with great team of instructors that are involved and helpful in making you succeed. I would recommend this program to anyone that is thinking about going on for their MSN.

Degree: Instructional Technology

I just started my Masters this summer at Pittsburg State and finished my undergrad here as well, 7 years ago. I am now living in Olathe, KS and really wanted to stick with the Gorillas. "Once a Gorilla, always a Gorilla!" I never thought all my classes could be online, but they are! I was super excited to know that Pittsburg State offered exactly what I wanted. The first 6 hours I have taken have been a bit challenging just getting back into the swing of homework. But the professors are amazing and... Read More

Pros: great school with relatively cheap tuition by comparison, great faculty, program is entirely online Cons: only a select few faculty teaching courses so if you don't like one or two professors you are stuck with them for the entire program with no other options; parking is terrible

It has a very limited use. However, it is quite useful for those looking to gain research experience and further their education.

Degree: Education

My graduate program provides the most professional, educated, and supporting faculty which facilitates the excellent education I am receiving. Because it is a smaller program, faculty are always available in any capacity and networking amongst other students is effortless. The single negative aspect is, due to my own choosing, I must commute from a neighboring town.

Degree: Educational Leadership

Workload is difficult for educators employed full-time. Financial aid is not available for non traditional , 4.0 students that do not qualify for income based financial aid. Online courses do not support superior collaboration or networking with peers. Few effective networking for career opportunities are available. The program has great professors and tremendous learning opportunities depending on the time and effort the student is willing to invest.

My choice to continue my education a teacher was not made lightly.   I have chosen a career in education because I believe that it is one of the most important functions performed in our culture.  I believe that teachers individually and collectively have the ability to not only change the world, but to improve it. That’s what I want to be for my students. I love this saying, “Don’t accept being average.” To me, being average is that wall that stand in the way of greatness. I want my students to... Read More
