I enjoyed Towson University. I was a commuter student all 4 years, there were plenty of resources available for me including therapy, I was dealing with a lot during my college years. Most of my professors were great, there were a few that I did not like, because of their teaching styles, and assignments. I had the opportunity to study abroad during the winter semester, it was a very organized program. Towson is a large public school, many of my classes were large. Overall, the professors were attentive... Read More to students and most will know you by your name. There were many options for dining on campus, and I recommend exploring Towson / Baltimore areas if you are from out of town.

Towson University is a great and more affordable 4-year university compared to rivals in the state. I pay around $7,500 a semester to attend as I don’t get any financial assistance nor have I looked into scholarships. The campus is lovely, and the academics are sufficient. I’ve clearly learned much more here than I have during my time in community college (Howard Community College). The availability of the Leadership and Management concentration under the Business Administration degree was a crucial... Read More part in me attending this university as it reflects strongly on what I intend to do in the future.

As an alumni from Towson University, I am grateful for the experience that Towson University gave me as a whole, with special thanks and regards to the Department of Dance. Towson University helped to shape me into the person I am today, by showing me a world and a culture much different than the environment I grew up in. There is something valuable to be learned from every professor, no matter your major, and no matter the department. Each professor I had during my four years at Towson had a very... Read More different approach to teaching, and a very different perspective on life as a whole. Their teaching methods and life philosophies opened my eyes and my mind to life, what all it has to offer me, and what all I can do with it.

As a young single mother that came to TU with a delayed college timeline from previous issues and that also graduated in the middle of the pandemic...Towson gave me the best education I could've asked for and through all the challenges I faced, I wouldn't change any of it. I may not have gotten the adventurous college experience most young adults get but I had access to many resources and I had fellow classmates that came from a similar situation as mine. All of my professors were able to utilize... Read More their careers as a way to keep us engaged while learning. Because of my education at TU, I fell in love with education and discovered my purpose in life.

Towson's Master of Arts in Teaching program was very unorganized. Staff has the potential to make conditions better for their teachers-in-training, but I haven't seen them take initiative for change. Only a few professors in the program are fantastic. Towson is known for being a teacher's college, but the current management makes the experience very stressful. The program director needs to step up and take better care of communication and congeniality with students and staff. We deserve an MAT program... Read More that makes the experience fun, exciting, manageable, and professional. Hopefully things will change so there can be better reviews in the future.

Towson Universities advisement center is disappointing, misleading and can hold students back from graduating on time. Students that are transferring and/or changing majors will have a difficult time attaining the core requirements, getting ahold of advisors and signing up for required classes. I would not recommend this school to any student trying to graduate within four years. They require you to take a large amount of unnecessary classes that do not relate to your major. Collaboration between... Read More advisement and the graduation committee is non existent, and they will pass you around from person to person to receive an answer and guidance. The school also provides little to no guidance for careers post graduation. I know I share this same experience with numerous other students at Towson, check out their graduation statistics! Do not recommend.

The classes taught are not too board and are very interesting. I've taken 3 special topic courses at Towson and all of them were topics I've been wanting to study. I have been able to make a better understanding of the world through the knowledge I have gained through Towson. I love tackling real issues and topics in my classes. The professors are also very passionate about what they teach, our government and the people in it. This makes learning feel more impactful because the teachers care about... Read More the classes they teach and it's also my focus of study.

At the time of my attendance, the school was called Towson State University. I was originally an Audiology major. The school changed the program requirements so much that I decided to pursue my minor area of focus, Psychology. In retrospect, it was a perfect move. The Psychology department was engaging, challenging and timely. The assignments were thorugh provoking and relevant. The skills and knowledge I obtained servced me well throughout my life thus far. I was commuting, working student, Off-Campus... Read More housing was amazing and affordable. I was not heavily involved in athletics or social activities, however, my classmates raved about these opportunities. I have been happy with the reputation of my college choice as well. Never had to feel there was a negative stigma associated with it. Always proud to state I was a Towson Graduate. I did not pursue my graduate degree there because I live too far away now and it would not be possible to make the commute.

I had a lovely experience at Towson. I had many mentors who were able to help me with deciding my career choice and who were also able to help me pursue that career choice. My professors helped me get into my graduate school by writing me letters of recommendation which I will also greatly appreciate. Just like any college, there will always be a few professors who were unsatisfactory, but that will occur at any college, regardless. I would strongly recommend Towson to those who are looking for a... Read More solid education.

Earning a bachelors degree at Towson University was a well rounded experience. The class sizes for those pursuing psychology were small and personal, meaning you had a better chance at getting to know your college professors. The psychology degree also provided a variety of classes that made it easier to be more well-rounded once the program was over. The campus environment was nice and the demographics of the school helped Towson to be a "salad bowl" of people all coming together with different... Read More views and ideas.

Towson University's Occupational Therapy BS/MS program provides students with knowledge on a wide variety of subjects, ranging from anatomy and physiology to health management classes. Although the work is rigorous, I believe that the requirements needed in order to graduate are manageable as long as you have a strong work ethic. I feel well prepared to go out on my Level II Fieldwork experience in January and am excited to graduate and pursue a career as an Occupational Therapist. On the other hand,... Read More there are not many scholarships that are provided by the University that relate to this major. With that being said, it is important to have a financial plan for the duration of your time in the program, as there will be a duration of time during the program that requires you to work 40 hours per week for six months without pay. For out-of-state students, this may be a challenge, so it is encouraged that you research potential outside scholarships that can provide some financial relief. Other than some of the financial hardships that may come along with any college program, this program will provide you with the knowledge and skills needed to pass the NBCOT and obtain a job after graduation. It is also beneficial because you do not have to worry about applying to a master's program, as this is a combined program so as long as you pass all of your classes, you are automatically accepted into the master's portion. Overall, I feel comfortable with the education I received from this program and I am excited to see what my last year entails.
