Quinnipiac University Top Questions

they're alright, nothing too crazy to talk about. they flaunt all these accreditations but the classes i'm sure are nothing close to a top tier college. still they're challenging enough to keep you on your toes, but that's just the business school our health science kids are like ghosts during the week.

Academics at qu are good, they are challenging and thats what they should be. You get out of the class what you put in and if you study you do well. There is an honors program which as more challenging classes but otherwise I think classes are good. Most professor are available outside of class but some parttime professors are not so available.

Professors genearlly learn your name, and classes are relatively small and get increasingly more intimate as courses get more specialized. Science students study very often, while Mass Communications and Buisness students study much less but complain more. In general my professors have been excellent, even the adjuncts, with the exception of a rare few. I often hear students talking about school when they are outside studying. 101 and entry-level classes fill up quickly so it is hard to get time slots that you desire. The academic requirements are well-rounded, but there are crappy classes referred to as QU 101 and 201 that are now required (after I graduated). Science department is really excellent, professors know you and respect you. Education (undergraduate) is aimed at jobs and learning, while graduate courses are sometimes frustratingly "theoretic" depending on what science program you are in.

Mostly known for business and health science. The academic reputation if definately getting better and more competitive. Courses, of course, depend on professors and programs.

Classes are tough, but I think it's the best quality of the school.

Professors are friendly or the most part. Workload varys by major but a good academic school.

I feel that the health sciences programs are crazy here, the classes are so hard and most of my nursing and PT friends are borderline suicidal, and have permanent spots in the libraries, Psychology is even challenging but you do learn a lot. Quinnipiac is an up and coming name and i think this is why the courses are challenging. However i have had my share of breeze by courses, and so have many people, but definitely you need to look on ratemyprofessor.com to be sure beforeyou register for classes because some teachers are terrors. However from experience, most teachers are great and very willing to help, but there are always some bad ones thrown in in every university.

Overall the academics leave something to be desired. I was very disappointed with the liberal arts classes I took. Many of the professors are adjuncts and are very poorly qualified to be teaching at a college level. However, the health science courses/programs are very strong, especially within the physical therapy department.

I know all my professors and they in return know my name. my major which is secondary education, we all know each other in my year. there is only about 20 of us, so we have created a bond with each other. i took a whole history class on the holocaust, which was so interesting. sunday-thursday, we are all really intellectual, but thursday-saturday QU kids know how to party.

Classes at Quinnipiac are small and very interactive. Professors really take time to get to know the students one on one, and are available outside of class very often. They encourage you to stop by and just say hello or come with any questions you may have about their class. Classes can be challenging at times, but nothing you can't handle once you get into the swing of college life. Many hands on experiences are offered in the business school with internships. Other schools here offer clinicals and other hands on experience that helps you get your foot in the door. Many kids in communications and business go to New York City to work in some of the best companies getting the best experience before they even graduate.
