Central Michigan University Top Questions

What are the academics like at Central Michigan University?

Alex

Most of my professors know my name, except if it's a lecture class. Since I'm a broadcasting major, I have one of the hardest major at Central. This is very difficult because my classes are created and set up so you fail, so academics is very difficult at Central for me but this is because my major is created so I succeed in the workplace.

Emily

Anja

We have some very big classes for lecture and other classes are small. It is usually just right. The professors are very helpful in any situation.

Robin

Professors are really great here! Class sizes are generally medium, and I prefer it that way.

Amanda

I have only had a good experience with my classes at central. My upper level classes are very personal and my teachers do know my name. I often have class discussions. I think the health fitness major is an awesome way to go and the classes are a good experience to prepare you for your internship. I wish the academic requirements were not so broad for University Programs.

Kathleen

I love the fact that all of my professors know my name! I think that is really cool because at most schools you are just a number in the class, but here they know you by name and really take the time to get to know you. My favorite class was my Introduction to Teaching because my professor really engaged us in the issues that are facing teachers today and I really am excited to start teaching when I graduate. My major is Physical Education with a minor in Health and I hope to teach at the elementary school level. I feel that the education at Central is geared toward students' success after they graduate from college. They are preparing us for the rest of our lives, by teaching us how to use the latest technology in our field, which I feel is what employers are really looking for.

Some classes at CMU are large and professors will not know your name, but most classes are typical size and professors do get to learn your names and get to know you. Class participation is encouraged along with attendance.

Kristi

I believe Central Academics are very underrated. Most people don't even know that we have a honors program or honors groups. The class sizes very obviously depending on the class, but professiors are always willing to work with a student on an individual level if needed. I also like the variety of classes offered making there literally something for everyone.

Kristi

SOme classes are competitive but only if you choose to make them that way.

Ellis

Professors in my major know my name because I have them so frequently. My favorite class is biochemistry, and my least favorite is psychological statistics.
