Elmhurst University is a great 4 year college to attend. I enjoyed the small town university and the smaller classroom settings. I was a transfer student from a local community college. My counselor made the transition very easy and was very helpful. Together we were able to figure out a schedule and plan so that I can graduate with a bachelor’s in two years. Even with such a tight schedule i was able to study abroad during their “Jay term� which is similar to a summer course in the month of January.... Read More

Elmhurst College is a unique college, yet oddly like most suburban, private schools. You get a liberal arts education set in a beautiful, affluent community. You'll live in a mix of new and traditional dorms. And you'll get to walk the picturesque quad overlooking a large UCC chapel. However, where Elmhurst differs is the community. After you strip away the commuters just wanting to get college done and over with (but do not want to go to the dreaded community college campuses nearby), you have students... Read More

Elmhurst College was the place where I have fulfilled the best four years of my life so far. I am a student who loves school, and the professors at Elmhurst College did nothing but increase my likeness for learning. Every teacher I encountered at this institution were passionate for what they taught and possessed the ability to keep each and every student engaged. There were endless possibilities for clubs and sports here, and everywhere you went there were people trying to get you to engage or join... Read More

Degree: Early Childhood Education
Towards the end of my junior year of High school I started creating a list of schools I was interested in furthering my education at. I visited a total of 6 schools, they were all different sizes and all over the country. I wasn't sure what I wanted in a school. I come from a very small High school so originally I thought I wanted a big school, as soon as I stepped foot onto Elmhurst College campus I knew it was for me. Here we aren't just another number, you build connections that will last a lifetime... Read More

Degree: Public Health
My experience when I enrolled into the very new online Public Health program I was beyond excited. Everything was going great; professors were very helpful when you needed them. Actually, all of the professors within the public health program has continued to be very helpful. You can tell they want their students to succeed in the course and in their future careers. I am at the very end of the program and I knew it was too good to be true. I'm having problems with my advisor who is also the program... Read More

I am proud to say that I am a graduate student at Elmhurst College. This college is well respected and the educators and advisors are superb. It is a small college with a hometown feel, but it gives you everything you need. My graduate program has well equipped me with the skills I will need when I enter the work force. The only cons are that as a graduate student you are concentrated with your small cohort and may not get to experience all that this wonderful campus has to offer.

Elmhurst College is a great place to get your MBA. With a director who is constantly trying to give MBA students a perfect balance of both experience and textbook learning. It's a small school, and an even smaller program (20). The MBA is split in two cohorts. For a solid year, you get to know your cohort, and build strong personal and professional relationships through stress and joy. The second year of the MBA program then splits off into specializations, where the group gets even smaller.(4) With... Read More

Degree: Communications (Speech Pathology)
The graduate program of Speech-Language Pathology is highly competitive. The only con is the amount of work needed to go into succeeding. Otherwise it is a very rewarding career path and the program has a very wonderful framework at Elmhurst College.

Elmhurst college is an excellent place to get an MBA. It is cheaper than downtown Chicago schools, and the level of academia is exactly the same. Pros: Affordable Work Schedule Flexibility Accessibility to all campus amenities Faculty are either Adjunct and hold other jobs or are recently out of workforce Cons: Bookstore hours Mandatory weekend class for one month Classes are held back-to-back one night a week

The Elmhurst Masters of Science Degree is going to be an invaluable tool to help me assist my company as it grows from a 500 million dollar company to a 10 billion dollar company. The logistical landscape is going to change significantly. This degree program will give me the tools and knowledge to make a sustainable efficient supply chain system. The program is the only one of its kind in the entire Chicago-land area.
