14 Best Msw Programs In Atlanta, GA (2022 Updated)

Although Emory Nursing school is rated as one of top nursing schools, they have failed to serve students to successfully complete their study. They are constantly changing curriculums for MN and MSN, which has been confusing many students. Emory also does not have an advisor for nursing students. Their program director serves as an advisor, which she tries hard but it's hard for her as she has other duties. Also, Emory nursing does not support any international students. They were told by Emory that they couldn't finish their programs although they had been admitted and started program already. I have heard from a few students struggling to talk to school to figure out the way to continue their education, but they have not been getting any support at all. Apparently, Emory MSN nursing cannot have international students but they're still accepting applications.H H

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

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

Great public health program with amazing professors. A lot of great global opportunities, either through Emory or connections to other global agencies/organizations based in Atlanta. Wonderful, modern facilities. Program was very supportive to students and the student body was great. A lot of interesting research and practical opportunities as well.Kayla Lavilla

Impressive!! Within the buildings, I feel like the institution really focus on searching for what will affect people’s life. I love their Master of Science in Public Health with the degree in EpidemiologyJusny Mackenson Louis-Jean

Building is new and the landscaping is beautiful. I am not an MPH, but know several who are that love the curriculum. It's a top ranked program as well.Dylan Vest

Details to come later as I had a great visit to Candler, on October 4th, 2018. Moreover, I thoroughly enjoyed my visits with both the Rev. Dr. Robert M. Franklin, James T., and Berta R. Laney Professor of Moral Leadership; and, Assistant Director of Admissions, Mr. Roger R. Butler. I was blessed during my audience with Mr. Butler. God is an awesome God.Brenda Carter

Top notch education! Both practical and experience based while being academically rigorous. World class faculty and resources. Incredible library collection. Definitely a top tier theological education. In my opinion this is the best seminary in the country.William Reilly

CAU is a great HBCU with great faculty. The campus has a great deal of history about it and around it. If you happen to visit, be sure to ask about the Civic Rights Movement and the 1996 Olympics, there is a good deal of history about these.Addi Mavengere
