17 Best Masters Programs In Atlanta, GA (2022 Updated)

My son attends Morehouse! Their freshman class made history Fall 2016. This was his first time leaving home. Well into the first semester, he made his first visit home, I was astonished at what I observed for those two days. He had matured mentally, spoke with clarity and confidence, more importantly he carefully listened to what was being said, evaluated what he needed to say before blurring it out as he did prior to attending Morehouse College and spoke humbly with an improved vocabulary. I had to stare at him a few times to see if he was the same young man that just left three months ago… Although, the change may have not been huge, it was significant enough to be noticeable by our family, neighbors and his friends. I cried happy tears before going to bed that night and I thank God for guiding him to this school. His change is real, his struggles are in the past and his success is his future transition from a "Man of Morehouse" to a "Morehouse Man!" Morehouse College is the real deal for educating our young black men across the globe!Karen Johnson

This institution is only living off the names of the world renowned gentleman that are alumni.Because of an incompetent administration team,I only spent 15 days at that school due to financial issues which I was not at fault.It is ironic to witness the urgency they displayed in removing me from my registered classes,however the same urgency was not made to find my FAFSA information in a timely manner that was carelessly misplaced in some soft copy files.This school is a joke,and should be grateful of the outstanding names associated with it. Yet they speak about how this is the “only” school for young “African-American” men,all talk and no action,Morehouse College is the worst.justin phillips

MOREHOUSE HAS ALWAYS BEEN RESPECTED FOR 💯 EDUCATION MY FATHER WORKED 👨 ACROSS THE STREET FROM MOREHOUSE FOR ABOUT TWENTY YEARS DURING THE FIFTHIES AND SIXTIES!! AT A RESTAURANT CALLED THE GREASY SPOON OR THE GRILL!! ALSO, FRIENDS ATTENDED MOREHOUSE COLLEGE!!! I EVEN GREETED THE CUSTOMERS!!

I just received my bachelor's from Herzing University, and I cannot say that I would recommend this school to anyone. For those looking to pursue education exclusively online, I would say that this program is pretty straightforward, however, being on the Atlanta campus was stressful more than half of the time. When I started there in 2013, there were a number of professors that were so passionate about teaching (for instance Mrs. Hess, Mr.Moore and Dr. Friedman <—this guy had to be the best instructor to teach mathematics I've ever had) but to my knowledge, they've all left the campus. Now, it seems like they're understaffed and just unprofessional overall. I had a professor tell me that they asked him to teach a course the day before (leaving him unprepared, and I honestly felt that he was unqualified to teach the class (but when the lesson plans are laid out for you I suppose anyone can teach anything). In the time that I was there, there were three academic deans and three presidents. I tried to get assistance with tutoring once, and I had to literally chase them down to respond to me. Then, three weeks into the class with no tutor and the dean asked me, "Do you think getting a tutor at this point is worth it?" Seeing as though this was the last class I needed to graduate, I was baffled. What kind of question is that to ask a student? When enrolling here, I was under the impression that I would be able to take the majority of my classes on campus. I was a criminal justice student, and the majority of my criminal justice courses, and none of my law classes were available on ground. I pretty much just took my gen-ed classes on campus, and ended up online for two years because none of my other classes were offered on ground. To wrap this up, if you're looking to take classes exclusively online, then sure, give this school a shot, but I could never see myself returning here to further my education.Rose Gold

If you want to stay in communication with anyone regarding your academic records or attendance at this school, DO NOT EXPECT A CALL BACK! Their communication skills are the worst! I am currently in the process of trying to communicate with my advisor, Mr. Jermonte Battle after leaving messages and emails and no response. I was transferred to another advisor who sounded like he did not want to assist whats so ever and was quick to get rid of me over the phone. They are definitely money hungry and make you go through hoops to take of business! Today I have left a message for Shannon Moore, the director of admissions I guess and hopefully I'll receive a call back….I will be keeping this post updated! So please reconsider and continue to look scholars! 8/23 – I sent an email to Jermonte Battle expressing my pure concern regarding his communication skills and my request to withdrawal, his response was very short and he quickly directed me to the registrar's office to withdrawal. No remorse, no questions of concern or any interest on how he could make me continue to keep me as a student at Herzing whatsoever! RUN Future Scholars! That was my ticket out of there!Ariel Chisholm

I currently attend this school and for them to actually act like they care but don't really show it tells a person a lot. You can request no online classes but will place you in one. I feel like they set you up for FAILURE. There's a lot of work that this school needs in order to be great and communication is one. Teachers not communicating at a reasonable time is pure unprofessionalMatthew Lewis

Teachers go on vacation during the semester since they refuse to open the school and continue to charge FULL tuition despite depriving students from access to FULL resources on campus. Teachers don't teach they have you complete the weekly online assignment and do a virtual weekly lecture where they pawn off teaching to other teachers in the department. They go over the text assigned and provide little to no new information. You are stuck teaching yourself if you cannot be available the handful of hours the teacher FEELS like being available.They say they are willing to work with working adults but then harass you if you fall short in any capacity. They wait till the last minute to provide important information like class registration deadlines, FASFA deadlines, etc. Don't plan on transferring your credits hardly any schools accept their credits even with basic core classes since they do not proctor exams or have final exams of any time…Save your money, valuable time, and future and go to Georgia Perimeter College.M F

My experiences have been great so far. Students would benefit from small class size, and lots of support from academic advisors. At Devry, you are encouraged to learn, grow, and become a better version of yourself. There are a number of necessary academic resources available to help you to do so. Professors are willing to help, just make an active effort to speak to them. Additionally, students have access to tutoring service, career service, and student support service. Great on-campus job opportunities that prepare students with skills required for future career. Most of core classes are offered on site and online. I wish I could take my concentration courses on-site since currently, most of concentration courses are offered online only. However, my learning experience at Devry has been very fulfilling. Decatur campus is located in the heart of downtown Decatur, GA so you get a lot of good eating places when you need a break.Song Nhi

Professors are really good, I am international student and Devry staff is the most positive thing that the University have, Mariana Kravtsova who is the manager of student services help me a lot with many problems that I have in my application and today my student adviser, Maria Mauro always keep the eye in my registration. If I have to recommend a class, as a international student, I will take foundation of professional communication and I definitely recommend this University to built your career.luisana rodriguez

Don’t enroll in OMSCS. It’s only a great value if you value your time at zero. If you’re just in to get a degree, there are easier places to go. If you enroll in the hopes of learning something useful, then you’ll be displeased. Professors and TAs will waste thousands of hours of your time on assignments void of any real learning objective. CS-7641 is a great course, but otherwise you’re better served by reading recent research or watching YouTube videos. Across the board, you can expect most lectures to be ~10 years old, and don’t expect any assignment (even the auto-grades ones) to be returned in time to show you where you went wrong.Corbin Mathews

It's Georgia Tech — their mascot is a Yellow Jacket and lots of smart people both go here and have gone here over the past probably 100+ years. I myself went to Columbus State University, but I have nothing but respect for those who don the Yellow Jacket and buzz across the stage on those surely memorable graduation daysZach Ward

Beautiful campus. Very interesting self guided tour with engaging interactive commentary. Wide range of accommodations nearby and very friendly students.Ericka H-F

The GSU Honors College is amazing! They offer enriching classes and class sections that allow students to further explore content . In addition, they offer excellent advisors who can help you decide which of those classes you want to enroll in. With reduced costs to printing for all honors students, a computer lab, and comfortable sitting areas, it is easy to make the honors college your place to study. I am so glad that I chose the Honors College at GSU!Margaret Welch

One of the worst HBCU’s I have ever encountered. The work/school life balance is horrible! The staff and administration is so unorganized and unstructured they are extremely focused on being petty, immature, and childish throwing back handed comments rather than focusing on the students who pay their salary! Not only that they often forget that they are teaching grown adults! Nobody never knows what’s going on, you can never get a straight forward answer to simple questions or even help regarding grades, school etc. you have to beg the professors to do their job even to show up to class! Harassment is a huge issue here that is often over looked by administration because it makes them “look bad” they rather sit there and pray for an hour than to actually talk about the real issues at this piece of university Going here will waste you time and money AVOID AT ALL COSTS! This school is an embarrassment to the black community and I’d give this school no stars but I can’t so it gets 1 !S Surage

It's Clark Atlanta University, for goodness sake! HBCU that caters to a smaller student body, which I think really helps with the Graduation rates and ability of the students to feel seen and heard. There are a lot of very empowered young people on this campus. …and I graduated from UC Berkeley, so I got no chips in that game.Darryl Cobb

Had an awesome time tonight at the game tonight even though the panthers didn't win tonight their band came through with flying colors. 👍 They were rocking the stands tonight, best music entertainment we really enjoyed. If visiting Atlanta you've got to come see the band perform you wont be disappointed.Nancy Pilot

As great place to host the State Special Olympics, Emory is a wonderful place that suits the needs of this event. Being a high school student which is about to graduate high school, I am looking for a college which will give the best life experiences and potential. This place has great dorms and, overall, a modern architecture that is interesting to the eye and does not leave my imagination to boredom. But instead if just being here for a college visit, I decided to stay for a couple of days and realized flaws which leave me in distaste to the point of not recommending this college. Reasons are: The curriculum seems to be very beginner-like with classes and courses that I have taken as a regular high school classes. Also, eating the food for three days was the worst experience. Everyday it was poor quality food with hardly any taste which brought dissatisfaction to me and my friends at Emory. From the outside it looks very well put together, but in reality, it is just an easy way to get a degree and not be prepared for the real world in the future.mascara _m

I graduated from Emory in 2010 and can say, without any reservations, that I received a great education from the institution. Generally, the professors were brilliant and accomplished and made time for their students. Great selection of classes. The facilities were top-notch, including the dormitories (definitely better than at some of the Ivies) and the library has a ton of volumes. The endowment, though hit hard by the Crisis, still makes anything possible, really. I made use of all of these resources to go on to attend Harvard Law, for which Emory more than adequately prepared me. Additionally, they have one of the best financial aid programs in the nation (Emory Advantage), such that, if you've got the academic credentials and the personality, there's no impediment to attending. Emory Advantage made it possible, for example, for me to attend. The campus is beautiful. And Atlanta is a pretty awesome city. 5 stars.Gretel Martinez

Great school located in a wonderful neighborhood. Would highly recommend students check it out to pursue either their undergraduate or graduate level degree. Very supportive faculty and staff and beautiful facilities. Definitely a gem in Atlanta. Only downside is the recent change/elimination of some academic majors. Would recommend keeping more liberal arts programs.S Basnight

They (staff) treat transfer students (myself) and freshmen (I witnessed) like complete idiots and garbage. I called admissions to get some help when I told the employee what my problem was she started to laugh!! Then she said I am sorry I didn't mean to laugh. I feel humiliated. I have normal relevant questions and EVERY department I have talked to gives me a vague smart ass statement (not answer). Then they direct me to another department that directs me to another department. I don't know if these are students working part time or what. Parking is terrible for students who commute. I thought it was just me, but it seems like when an advisor or financial aid/ enrollment services meet with students who are new to the school, it gives them a reason to be rude and like they don't have time for your questions. This is my first and last semester here. I just wanted a chance to go to the largest school in the metro area and possibly in Georgia. Before I end this review, there is one woman who made me feel very welcomed, she was so nice and informative and just 100% real. I Think her name is Vanessa on the fourth floor of the advising building. I hate myself for not grabbing her card.If I come back for a CIS degree, it will be because of her. If you are new to this school and have any questions ( exclude financial aid) please go to the fourth floor now and ask to speak to her. I left that building with my head held high.Oree Rhodes IV

I highly doubt this university has a rating 4 stars and they're just keeping 5 star reviews form eons ago and removing the reviews that don't completely praise the institution. Probably the same case as to why they're not rated on USNEWS. The Financial aid office, Housing, and a couple of other departments are either terribly understaffed or just plain unprofessional. You will rarely get a timely solution or uniformed response from these people; most the staff in advisement are basically a bad joke. This school is very unorganized as a whole and if I could re-do my choice for undergrad…you get the drift. The saving graces of this school are the professors and organizations/activities for students to participate in on campus. Location is pretty great if you're into the city life but be prepared for the expenses you wouldn't normally face living on a traditional campus. Also find it funny to mention that there are now some reviews from people who graduated more than a couple years ago but just now decided within the last month to write "glowing" reviews condemning any constructive criticisms? Seems a bit odd. If there are 1-2 star reviews from students, it's because most of us want the problems resolved and want the institution to get better since we are paying numerous fees to get our education here instead of at cheaper alternatives. I don't think that's too expectant to ask.k s

What a waste of time! Not to mention the amount of debt I've obtained over the years. I've watched them take money from students, force teachers to write books and sell them… only to buy more buildings to persuade the masses! How ironic that financial aid could only get you enough money for tuition for books and you would have a $500 balance to borrow more money… the ultimate setup to acquire for loans and more money to them. Not to mention the "Book Store Credit"… to purposely draw you into spending twice as much money on REQUIRED books. There are also a ton of hidden fees in your account ledger that they do not tell you about (because we're paying for all of the upgrades around the "campus"). I used to like the school… then I realized… the lines are getting longer… I am taking IRRELEVANT forced classes… the Financial Aid office reps are trained robots… the buildings are getting nicer… parking fees are increasing…. I am not a name…. I am barely a number! But numbers lie, as do big financial institutions… that are only about MONEY! Stay away!!!! If the homeless don't get you (attacks and robberies), then GA State will find a way!!! If 30,000 students pay at least $3,000/semester, that's $90,000,000! :/ Oh… and grades are not released until you evaluate your professor. Very intimidating. (You can choose to not give a comment, but good luck with that)!BeAnonymous Emaily

(Translated by Google) Excellent facilities, in modernity, spaciousness, hygiene and services, the building has a fantastic view of the city, located in the Lenox area, which I consider the best area in Atlanta. (Original) Excelentes instalaciones, en modernidad, amplitud, higiene y servicios, el edificio cuenta con una fantástica vista de la ciudad, localizado en el área de Lenox, la que considero la mejor zona de Atlanta.Gilberto Soto

The facilities are great here. Large rooms with integrated technology really help when presenting to a class. Also I really like the building being 500ft from a MARTA station.Josh Echo
