Horrible return on investment. If you need to take out debt for your degree its likely not worth it. This school is over priced.
I made 6000$ my first year graduating. I did not find a job in my field. This college does not help alumni find jobs. Absolutely horrible. Don't risk it. Go to any of the various public schools in illinois. This school is not it!

Outstanding Education! This university is a hidden gem. It has an outstanding education with professors who truly care and will work with you to achieve whatever you declare you want to. However I do caution, not only did I cross the stage with $100,000 education bill but I also did not have a job. This university needs to work on a few things like internship placement, Profession's in that field regularly coming in to speak about best practices to get their career started and what professional organizations...

Class sizes were small. Professors did well to prepare us for the real world.

Most courses were online courses, which was helpful. One required course was blended, where we had to meet in person 3x and the rest was online.

School spirit was infused in every aspect of the college life. Homecoming, winter formal and spring formal provide ample opportunity to show off your spirit and make new friends. In addition, the atmosphere of the college is friendly and aiming towards student success.

The staff is very quick to address questions and/or issues. The program offers courses that are highly appropriate and usable for a future career. The classes are eight weeks long which can put extra pressure on a student to complete a full semester of work. However, completing the graduate program can be done quicker than in some other programs.

I started my degree at USF using a traditional classroom setting and after tackling a few online courses, I quickly realized this setting worked best for me. I am a visual learner with a short attention span, so the online format was perfect. It is not easy; you must be disciplined and self motivated, but in exchange, the education you will receive is well worth it. There are many online degrees that are easier, but lack the quality that USF provides. Their standards are high, the coursework is rigorous,... Read More

The academic advisers are great! Professors and other faculty make one feel safe and help keep students on track. Doors are always open for questions, comments, or concerns.

The Masters of Education program at the University of St. Francis prepares students to become a great teacher. I have been taught by teachers that had completed this program in the past. And now I am enrolled to complete my own degree. The faculty are very helpful and eager to work with you.

The University of St. Francis is a small school that is easy to get around. The faculty are approachable and accessible, and, for being a rather small school, the professors make great use of technology. The school has a rich heritage and strong Franciscan values.

I really enjoy the program and feel I am gaining a lot of knowledge that will be very beneficial to me in the future. There is a fairly substantial workload with the program.
