I loved working on my degree at Rosemont. Sitting in a classroom with like-minded students to discuss our favorite books was amazing. The professors were all heavily involved in publishing and contributed real, working knowledge to our class work. (The same can be said for the online courses). The school itself is very small and we were treated very individually as a result. The moment RC was on my resume, I was able to get an internship and the school is earning a well-deserved reputation for excellent... Read More students in the city. The flip side of the experience is the cost. It is not easy to find scholarships for English degrees, but I've found my degree to be worth it in the end.

I completed my B.S. completely online. Rosemont College advisors were extremely helpful and flexible in accommodating my needs with respect to courses and ensuring that I was able to meet the requirements I needed whether it be by the online offerings, independent study (which the instructors went out of their way to allow me to take their classes in that manner), or through my Prior Learning experiences. If they had offered a M.S. or M.A. online in the field that I wanted to pursue, I would have,... Read More no question, continued my education with Rosemont.

I have been mesmerized by the power of words since I was a little girl. When I began my higher education career I knew I wanted to work in publishing. I stumbled upon the graduate program at Rosemont College and, once accepted, have loved every minute of it. My teachers are professionals that work in the industry, preparing me for real life situations and job duties through projects and readings. My fellow students come from all corners of the earth with different backgrounds and I honestly feel... Read More stimulated by their knowledge. We learn from each other. The program staff members are easily accessible and eager to help me succeed. Even the Program Director promptly answers my emails and calls and consistently offers her assistance to all of the students. My only complaint about the program is that I wish they offered more financial services to the students. After going back and forth with the school's financial aid office (not an easy thing to do since they usually don't answer their phones) I completed my Financial Aid application only to be told graduate students aren't eligible for financial aid. When I inquired about scholarships I found out that there aren't any offered to the students in our program. Besides that drawback Rosemont College, though small, has a lot of heart. The sense of pride, community, and an appreciation for knowledge radiates from the school. I am honestly proud to be apart of it.

I believe that the workload is acceptable and the courses within the program are of great value future counselors in dealing with their clients. The college is located in a very convenient spot (several minutes outside of Philadelphia, PA) where there are different options to go to and from the college. Such as car, bus and trains. The options in terms of financial aid could be better as well as the college network in alerting students of college closings and course cancellations. I've never lived...
