9 Best Masters Programs In Tampa, FL (2022 Updated)

I have had the misfortune of hiring now 9 girls from UT on a rotating schedule( when they have availability). I know a total of 12 girls that have either recently graduated, are in nursing programs, or 2 that are currently in masters programs, the 9 that worked/Ing for me are either recent grads, in their masters program, or a rising senior… So… now of these girls, even though they are nice have any queslificariona to work.. 6 out 9 which 3 of those 6 are or were in honors programs. Have no clue what they are going to do after school. Most complained about the treatment and the overall vibe of the campus. The 4 out of 12 girls that I know are graduated and with a Bachelors degree in Nursing or teaching can’t even find a job and are working in low level paying jobs… practically a step up from min. Wage. This university does not produce graduates that have a impact on the world. The quality of person who is going here 8 out of 10 is not the person you want working for you… This is a school for people who are good test takers but not ready or prepared to be in the real world at all… Go to bigger school that’s not private – private universities answer to know one which is not so good.. especially when it comes to the quality of graduates they are producing and putting out into the world. Which seems subpar at best. Save yourself the hassle, go to a public university. Like USF is bigger, better diversity, better teachers, bigger endowment, better statics with the type of person they produce back into the working world. Location is nice because it’s downtown but just remember not everything that glitters is gold…adoliop

Search history- During its operating period from 1891 to 1930, the hotel housed thousands of guests, including hundreds of celebrities. When the Spanish–American War broke out, Plant convinced the United States military to use his hotel as a base of operations. Generals and high-ranking officers stayed in its rooms to plan invasion strategies, while enlisted men encamped on the hotel's acreage. Colonel Teddy Roosevelt and his Rough Riders also were at the hotel during this time. Roosevelt retained a suite, and during the day led his men in battle exercises on the property. The Tampa Bay Hotel closed in 1930 as the Great Depression severely curtailed tourism. It remained empty and unused for three years. In late 1933, the Tampa Bay Junior College was allowed to move into the hotel, using the old suites as classrooms and offices. Because of the large amount of space afforded by the hotel, the scope of the junior college was expanded, becoming the University of Tampa. The Tampa Municipal Museum was established by the city to preserve the hotel in its original form and co-exist with the newly established University. Today, besides serving as offices and classrooms for the University of Tampa, the entire south wing of the building is dedicated to preserving the glory days of the old Tampa Bay Hotel. Various rooms in the wing display authentic artifacts from the old hotel, many of which were purchased by Mr. and Mrs. Plant themselves on various European shopping trips. (Wikipedia)George Ortiz

Beautiful school in a great location, however, if you're looking for a good school with good academics DO NOT COME HERE. The nice look of the school and large dorm rooms is about all it has to offer. As a freshman I went through three advisors in one year without any notification of having mine switched, and I also told my current advisor that I am transferring several times; but I keep receiving emails from them telling me I still have to register for next semester. The advisors here are not really that helpful at all. When you contact any facilities they either take weeks to respond, or do not respond at all. The grading scale is also very odd, so take a look at that as well. My first semester I had all A's and one AB and that brought my GPA down to a 3.8, when in most colleges an A- will bring your GPA down to around 3.9. The wifi is almost nonexistent unless you're using a computer in the library. Please do not invest your money here and go to a more accredited and student friendly college, so you do not have to waste time and stress looking to transfer out of here like many freshman do.Morgan Lowe

I would like to start by saying that I began my education with USF which was great for the college experience. Ultimately I chose South University because of the accreditation, better fit with my hectic life and because my coworkers at the hospital suggested it as a reputable place to pursue my Masters in Nursing. I enrolled with the online school first thinking that was the answer but I was not happy at all with the lack of customer service trying to get in touch with people was very difficult and I believe that the online courses do not prepare you for the in depth nature of what you need to know as a nurse practitioner. I took some time off before eventually giving the Tampa campus program a shot which was the best decision for me. Customer service overall was excellent, the classes are only one day a week so it still fit my schedule and the professor interaction was what I needed to feel like I was actually learning something. I also was very impressed at how accessible the school administrators and the director of the program are. It is not to say that there won't be bumps along the road but I couldn't have made a better decision for my life and my education.Vincent Papolo

I have been attending the Tampa location and It has changed my life in a positive way. This it the first nursing program that I have found here in the south where most of the administration including program directors are African American. That means a great deal to me because I aspire to equal success in life. I also have been exposed to the best encouragement that I have ever witnessed during my entire scholastic journey. I am looking forward to continuing my education including post graduate degree at this institution. I would have never had the drive to continue forward at this institution if it was not for the exceptional staff that are always readily available to help guide you through your experience. Though the use of encouragement and a myriad of resources to aid in your success through your program, you can rest assured that your investment in your education here at South University would be worth the sacrifices and monies spent.j k

School rating: 1/5 They are very money oriented and not very helpful. They have a tendency to make things up to get you to sign up. The program is super expensive. They kicked me out because my GPA dropped bellow 2.5. OT Program rating 0/5 I was attending the Occupational Therapy program and had a very bad experience. Five students out of sixteen made it to the last semester, which was above average. All you will be required to do is learn how to write papers. If your GPA drops bellow 2.5 you will be kicked out. The worst professor by far is Kevin Bobos 0/5. He brags about never giving a student a good grade. He is the least educated of all professors and seem to suffer from inferiority complex. By making you feel small he makes himself feel great.John X

I never thought at my age, 65, went again to the University, but I gratefully I found and did my Master at Everglades University, as a 40-year undergraduate and postgraduate professional, I can without any concern said that I could not found other University as Everglades, to fill my dreams. It is a place committed to help you to perform your goals, the authorities, the professors, the librarian, everyone is ready to help you in your tasks, because the academic load is proper and precise in each area for the benefit of your education. I have no doubs in highly recommend my American Alma Matter for your performing studies. I take this opportunity to thank everyone who made this happy ending possible, even the smile of the security personnel that receives you perform your day.Emiliano Llés Valero

I love this school, but I knew I would. I was intuitively drawn to EU in 2020, nervous and scared about going back to school in my 30's, but speaking to my enrollment specialist and the financial aid department, my intuition was right! It's been two years and I can not express my gratitude for the staff and faculty at this school. Everyone I have interacted with is so helpful, always willing to go above and beyond, if someone doesn't have an answer they follow up and get back to you! I am BIG on customer service and EU has exceeded all of my expectations of a college! I truly enjoy my classes and communicating with the teachers and staff!Tara Floyd

I have been attending here now for almost 3.5 years. I completed my Bachelor's degree in Hospitality Management and I will be graduating in a few months with my Masters. The Professors and staff here truly care about you and your experience. I highly recommend to any adult learner. For the person who put a bad review, the school does not pay us for our words, we truly love it here. It is a small school with one on one attention with people who are very knowledgeable in there fields. As with any major purchase do your research as this is not a traditional learners school but meant for adult learners who have busy lives.Karl Cieslak

DO NOT ENROLL HERE. USF sent me to the St. Petersburg campus because the Tampa campus was “full,” despite there being off campus housing options still available. In summary, they relocated me to another campus that I did not want to go to rather than just inform me that I would not be able to have access to on-campus housing. This is absolutely unacceptable behavior that no university should ever engage in. I am utterly dissatisfied and enraged at USF for doing something this outrageous. Shame on them!CervezaCuba

USF has such a beautiful campus based on the tour that I went on. Considering the fact that I haven't applied yet, I can't speak on the financial aid and things such as that. There's nothing at the moment to speak negatively on besides the fact that there's an amusement park literally across the street which causes a lot of traffic.Jordan A

They enroll so many students and cannot accommodate all of them. Finding parking is horrendous for commuters. Some days I can’t make my way to class because there’s no parking. Sometimes I miss breakfast because the MSC has no parking.Michael Marinelli

I am an MBA alumni here. Network that USF Muma College of Business has is immense. Actively participating in networking events (Career Fair, Business college events, guest speakers etc.) would work as one of success factors for the students.Sehyun Kim

Visited business advising with my son who is a high school senior. Very helpful and encouraging. Took away some great insights, suggestions, and ideas to finish up his senior year. Thanks very much!Cyndi Schmitt

Excellent school with informative classes and professors who connect the concepts with real life. I switched from Rutgers Business School and I could easily say they're at least even.Dean Turetsky
