I believed my college experience at the University of North Alabama to be quite negative. The atmosphere of the classrooms was very cramped, as well as class sizes were sometimes too small to hold class in person. The campus is a main highlight, as it is absolutely beautiful at night time.

I loved every minute of my time at UNA. My major perfectly aligned with my career goals and my passion for helping others. I loved my professors and felt that they were very knowledgeable, helpful, and patient. I also loved my cohort of students and the students that were above and below me in the program. I would most definitely recommend this program to anyone. It was invaluable for me while I was in school, and the things that I learned have helped me tremendously in my career.

It was a C- program at best back in 2006. Some professors were nutty and didn’t have much experience teaching online. It could be a better program now, but I can’t really say I learned much. However, I do have an MBA. I visited the campus a few times, it was a stiff atmosphere.

I would be very careful in attending the UNA MBA program. I already have two degrees from UNA. In my first Master's I received a 4.0 GPA and was very successful in my program gaining acceptance to multiple honor societies. The UNA MBA program is filled with snakes. I received an Incomplete for a course since I was affected by some tornadoes that came through the area. J. I. is a horrible professor, who has no respect or concern for his students in any way. He will not abide the UNA Graduate Catalog,... Read More

I enjoyed my time at the University of North Alabama in Florence, Alabama greatly! My time with the Social Work Department was wonderful! All of the department faculty and staff were always helpful, offered great communication, education, as well as preparation for opportunities post-graduation. All of the staff were more than helpful when looking for help with assignments, internships, and career opportunities. Each professor made a point to ensure that each student had individual assistance for... Read More

The University of North Alabama is a well-known university for producing educators. In its early years, it was known as Florence State Teachers College. That reputation has not regressed at all. The level of education at the university is comparable to any major state school. The community atmosphere fosters a sense of intimacy and the faculty's accessibility makes the learning process effective and meaningful. The amount of schools in the area make observing and working with educators in the field... Read More

The beautiful old campus is small enough to easily navigate and the new technology mixed with the Civil War era oldest buildings made it the best of two worlds. The faculty and staff bend over backwards to make sure you succeed. There's all the modern amenities of a large campus but set in a setting that harkens to the days of old.

The University of North Alabama is a hidden treasure of North Alabama. Not only is the campus beautiful, but the whole city of Florence loves college kids and makes it a really homey college to attend. The school is currently growing and changing, and I was honored to be apart of this growth and development. UNA loves their students and does everything they can to make college a very fun and educational experience that prepares you for your future journey!

The University of North Alabama is known for Education and Nursing; however, the Social Work program that the school offers is phenomenal. The teachers assist, teach, and personalize the classroom as the students learn and participate in class as well as hands-on experiences throughout each semester. It is definitely a lot of hard work, but the professors are there to support and build the foundation for our future careers. The professors have no issue with meeting with the students in order to get... Read More

I loved the campus. The teacher to student ratio is good. However, the lack of communication between university officials and students is an on going problem.

This MA in education degree was a waste of money. I have over $60,000 in student loans. It was not worth the money to have an advanced degree in education. I even ended up not teaching more than a year because it was so hard to find a job. I am in college for a MSW, something that will be much more useful.

I found out about the University of North Alabama through a family member and decided to look into their graduate degree program. I found that they provided a great education program with a whole teaching staff that was dedicated to teaching students the necessities in becoming a valued educator of today. Even though I took online classes, many of my instructors taught several classes throughout the program and I became very familiar with what they expected from me.
