13 Best Masters Programs In Hartford, CT (2022 Updated)

I recently was enrolled in the graduate cohort for reading and writing. I have been teaching for almost 10 years and found most of the classes insulting. I felt I knew more than the cohort professors and learned very little new. Many of the text books were from early 2000. Considering the vast changes in LA recently, I felt many classes provided information that was not up to curent reading philosphies and/or research. The rubrics were so convoluted that the professors couldn't figure them out or they did not pertain to the topic. Many classes were spent going back and forth over the rubrics only to have them change again. Knowing what I do now, I would not waste the money, but would have done an on-line course for 1/3 the price.K Palmer

As a current junior undergraduate at the University of Saint Joseph in West Hartford, CT, I am very happy here. I came to USJ as a shy, timid girl without the confidence to speak up in class. I am now a confident woman that isn't afraid to voice my opinion or share my insights. USJ has given me the platform to grow as a person and to realize exactly what I want out of college and out of life. In the past, I have always been unsure what the future would hold for me but ever since I've been at USJ my path has become more clear. I would recommend attending USJ to any woman interested in getting, not only a college education, but a chance to grow as a person, which is something not most colleges can offer.Patti Sciglimpaglia

Last semesters, I took a class with an international instructor. It was the worst class I ever studied in my life. Every time I ask her about the class she told me to go online and check how my classmates did. I'm still wondering did I took the class to learn from my classmates or from the instructor. After that class I hated the school and I can't even do my best in my current semester.خالد N

I first came to Goodwin for a Manufacturing Career Fair on August 2014. My plan going in was to improve/expand my professional network but after introducing myself to the two ladies at the front door, I was escorted to the admissions office. During this impromptu meeting I learned of their range of Manufacturing programs ranging from a Collegiate Certificate to Bachelor's Degrees. The lady I met with was very nice so I decided to let her run through her whole pitch before refusing. After she finished running through her speech I was about to politely decline when my eyes fell upon a pamphlet detailing their Certificate in CNC Machining. My attitude switched from polite dismissal to serious consideration. By the time the holiday season was in force, I had officially enrolled. From the Spring 2015 – Fall 2016 semesters, I experienced the most fulfilling education of my life. Classes tailored to my major were taught by professors with real-life experience in the manufacturing field. Knowledge gained from operating machines in the school's shop helped me secure my first manufacturing based job (which at the time of this review, I have been at for over a year). Around two weeks ago I walked in the 2017 Commencement with my CNC Certificate AND Associate's Degree (Summa Cum Laude!!!). Making the choice to again become a student with Goodwin College is one I do not regret, in spite of my now increased loan debt. Looking for a quality education with real life application? This school should be on the top of your list!Trevor Deming

I graduated in 2006 with a General Business Degree the Staff and Faculty were all very helpful and on top of their jobs. I signed back for classes in 2013 for my Bachelor's Degree in Business unfortunately the staff and faculty changed in a Very Negative way. I had Mr. Rotondo as my Advisor who had me taking classes that i had previously taken also the Black Board Online classes system kept going down I another class were i completed the work on time but their system did not register my work it had been idled for 36 or more hours and never registered my work causing me a NS for the class this caused a snowball affect to the downfall of me no longer attending classes. I talked with Professor Valeria he advised i write some sort of letter which i did explaining the double classes Mr. Rotondo had me take due to him not paying attention to my previous classes for He was my teacher in 2004-2006. I wrote the letter and i have not heard Anything back from Goodwin They just cost my family Time and Money.Callie Faison

So far I love the complex, the professor are really nice and helpful. They want you to pass the class for sure. The only thing I can complain is for the service of Financial Aid. I am a transfer from Lincoln College and when I was about to change they explain me that it would be cheaper or about the same. Before classes start I went to Financial Aid to see how much it was going to cost me, but they didn't have any information of me yet. Then I received a message saying "to not go to financial aid" I could start right away. I went again the day before start and they couldn't tell me anything. They charge already for the semester, it shown in my credit report, this is my third week of class and I do not even know if is the same as Lincoln, more expensive or less.Christian Diaz

Our journey with The Master's School began a three years ago when we enrolled our middle child in the preschool program. We were completely blown away at the curriculum and materials he was learning, the creative and engaging way the concepts were presented, and how well he was known. His teachers were masterful and had such a depth to their understanding of not only child development, but also who he is, how he learns, where he could be stretched and where the thrives. It was beyond anything we could have ever imagined or hoped for for our child. After what we experienced that year, we enrolled all three of our children the following year and have found that same experience across the board. TMS is so much more than just a school and has made a tremendous impact on our family. We're grateful for The Master's School and the way they've partnered with us in educating and shaping our children for today and tomorrow.Kirk O'Connor

I attended The Master's School from 3rd grade through 12th grade and had an overwhelmingly positive experience. I was challenged academically and well prepared for college. I had many opportunities I would not have had in a larger school, getting to try my hand at sports, drama, yearbook, and community service. Most significantly, the teachers at the school invested in me personally, mentoring me spiritually as well as academically and athletically. After having lived elsewhere, including overseas, for many years, our family has come back to CT and we were excited to enroll all three of our daughters at the school this fall. Each one of them is thriving there, enjoying learning and being helped and challenged by their teachers.Katie Garrett

This is our first year at the Master's School and we are so blessed to be at this wonderful school. I have a child in the upper school and one in the lower school, and both of my kids are having the same wonderful experiences . . . teachers that genuinely care about them, challenging, interesting academics that are so much more than just textbooks, chapel days where they are free to pray and worship, and an excellent athletic program where they are led by Godly coaches who care about more than just winning the game. We couldn't have chosen a better school for our kids.Diane Oates

The way that I would like to start this off is by saying this is the best school I’ve ever attended. Kathy from administration helped me by making sure I understood everything that I needed to. Then Whitley and Jenna from financial aid helped me by making everything in that area easy as pie. After that came one of the best teachers I’ve ever had Beth. She made sure that we understood that the Medical Coding and Billing program was not going to be easy and to be ready to not have a social life outside of school which was not a joke at all. My program was supposed to be 40 weeks (10 months) and with the pandemic it got extended to 15 months. After everything the school was very helpful and also made sure we were safe when the school opened up after being closed due to the pandemic. Emilie and Beth are always there to help out and even do one on ones if needed. The biggest shout out is to the owner of the school Chris Coutts. This is because after I completed my program I was offered to take 3 practice CPC exams and if I passed the owner would pay to take the actual CPC exam. This was completely out side out our program cost. Thanks to Chris Coutts I took my CPC exam on 12/4/2021 and got my results on 12/10/2021 that said I passed. If you are looking to start a new chapter in life and are thinking about Medical Coding and Billing I strongly encourage you to go to American Institute.Rotsen Pizarro

I absolutely love The American Institute. The West Hartford Campus is absolutely amazing. Ever since enrolling with Jason my life has been positively progressing. Jason signed me up back in august. He told me how great this school is as well as the director of my program who is also my teacher, Beth Canny. She is an outstanding, loving, caring teacher. She makes herself available for help at any hour of the day. She always has an open door, and can always assure you that you are capable of this program. She’s hands down the most amazing teacher I’ve personally ever had and I’m so grateful to be apart of the AI family. Jason was awesome in telling me about the program and how nice this school truly is. The school always has its students at heart, and not only while in the building but at home as well. They are always finding ways to help students needs. I am constantly telling family and friends about how amazing the American Institute is.Danielle Dzienciol

I started at American Institute in September 21' for medical assisting on an impulse decision & it's been one of the best choices I've ever made. I called and within 30 minutes Jason called me back to see the campus. He made my choice to register so so easy. I've always wanted to be in the medical field and this school just felt like the place to start my journey. My teachers have been AMAZING. They are so so knowledgable and if they see you care, they will help you succeed by all means. Just in 2 months I've learned so much. I've never done so well in school and I am just so grateful to have found this school. I have also made amazing friendships with likeminded and motivated women. Ignore the bad reviews..If you put in the work, you will have a great experience. If you are motivated and want to start your career in the medical field, this is an amazing place to start!!!!Olivia Lanza

Took my nephew on a college tour here a few years ago and he graduated with honors. He was afforded many opportunities on campus in academia, athletics, student government, peer leadership, radio station and Black /multicultural student union. He also had the opportunity to study abroad. He received an excellent education, made friends and had fun experiences. On the two times that I visited the campus- for the tour/recruitment and during move-in, staff were pleasant and helpful, students were polite and the campus absolutely beautiful. There are some on-campus organizations that perform outreach to local neighborhood youth in Hartford, which is beneficial to both the youth and students. Great school!Sporadic Travels

My aunt graduated from Trinity College, and every time I visited her at the college I fell in love with the campus. The atmosphere is great. I've heard recently that the administration has been doing a good job in creating a diverse student body in combination with providing a plethora of opportunities for students to get a QUALITY education. Trinity College is definitely underrated and needs to be in the spotlight for its qualities.Jordan More

Great school. Recent alum. Top Neuroscience department. Now doing cancer research at the #1 scientific research institute in the USA. Prepared to attend med school. The previous (political) Google reviews a couple years back do not reflect what Trinity is today. Valuable college degree.Jeffrey Sagun

I've attended schools from Syracuse University to Holyoke Community College and AIC and STCC and Umass and no one can touch WNEU. AMAZING school. Insane involvement from faculty and staff. Career focused education. Professors that will challenge you NO MATTER who you are and what department you're in. I majored in Electrical Engineering, but took courses outside of Sleith (the engineering college). I enrolled in Spanish courses, Math course and Chemistry, which are all outside of the Engineering umbrella. I was astounded by how ubiquitous WNE's focus on high standards is. I earned a 3.9 GPA and was challenged in every course. Nothing was easy, but nothing was impossible. I highly recommend the university. Sure, rural Springfield is a bit of a let-down for things to do. The university does a great job of creating trips and events for students every weekend. Seize the opportunities and enjoy all that Western Mass has to offer. WNE is a great school for anyone looking to earn an education and secure a career by working hard and being focused on a brighter tomorrow. Thanks for a life changing experience.DPR _

This is a terrible Quiznos! I went in there asking for a grinder and the lady at the desk just looked at me confused. She wasn't wearing usual Quiznos attire, instead she was wearing formal business attire. I thought this was the fanciest Quiznos I had ever been to. The sign above the counter said "Welcome Center", which I thought would be the place to order. I never received my order and I am suspicious as to whether this place was actually a Quiznos.Zachary Booth

Great computer science program. Can't speak to other programs. Expensive if you don't have scholarships (and probably even if you do).Brian Bartholomew

The only thing good about this place is the teachers and Subway. Really great teachers. Aside breakfast the food at the commons is very terrible. It's just burgers everywhere. If you want to eat good food all your money is going to be done ordering food. Tuition and housing fee increase every year. The dorms are a mess. You'll tell them you want single room and even pay the extra for it yet they don't give you a single room. They'll even give you a roommate that's everything you said you don't want in the roommate alliance form. You'd have to continuously call and email to eventually get your single room.N'gadie Koroma

A nice school to attend. Good education, and a fairly scenic campus. Be sure to look for the resident geese and hawks. Close to area amenities, with a pretty vibrant student life. This is the only university in the US to have a river bisect the campus. It is a very pleasant river to watch from one of the three bridge crossings. A big, brand new building just opened up (Fall '21) which is very interesting and sure to spark conversations.Mr. E.

There are so many different areas that feel absolutely useless. Having a problem is a like having cancer at this school. it’s so hard to get dealt with because everytime you contact anyone with authority. they really have no idea what they’re talking about. No sense of urgency or safety for students. Teachers have been atrocious, paying little to what students need and often not caring about how their students are actually doing.josh

Unfortunately, they now spend more time on indoctrination than actual education. You can learn more with Youtube. Safe your money and build a business!Nicolas Jacobi

Uconn speaks for itself one of Conn oldest colleges unfortunately everyone doesnt get in you must stand out academically as well as sociallyLisa Davis

The school is new which is nice but there is no parking for students. You have to pay to park somewhere else. There is a subtle leftist agenda throughout the school, and some of the professors will push their left-leanings views in the classroom. No food court either. I don't recommend going here unless you have to.Jake Freeze

Elegant facility. Immaculately clean. Quiet environment. Filled with multi-cultural and multi-etnic people. I attended a Bible seminar taught by Dr. Deena Grant. Since she and some of the attendees keep kosher, all of the refreshments were purchased at The Crown Market. Susan Schoenberger, Director of Communications, greeted me warmly and conversed with me.Deborah Robinson

Alhamdulillah. The existence of Hartford Seminary is an amazing contribution to the civilization of human being. Pluralism, tolerance, deep understanding of world religion people is an absolute need for all of us. I hope one day I can come to this university.Hasyim Aidid
