12 Best Msw Programs In Detroit, MI (2022 Updated)

I attended a meeting at Marygrove College and learned all about their revitalization of the campus. The buildings were constructed in the 1920’s.  They had fallen into disuse over the past decade. At this time they are being remodeled and repaired.  A college will begin operation in the main building shortly and in some cases is already in operation. Over the next two years an elementary school with attached high school will start to operate in one of the buildings.  At this time of year the grounds look sparse and bare.  I am looking forward to the spring and will return to look at it at that time. The woodwork in the building is still intact.  There are many religious artifacts and statues of great beauty.  The classrooms are large and have plenty of natural lighting. The telecommunications system is due to be updated. The people that work here are professional, interested, intelligent and kind.  I was especially happy to tour their beautiful library.  I will need to return when the sun is out and the windows are all open.  It is going to be a beautiful teaching college.Alfred Brock

MY GRANDDAUGHTER IS A STUDENT THERE THERE WAS AN INCIDENT THERE TUESDAY WHERE A BOY BROUGHT A GUN TO SCHOOL I DON'T LIKE THE WAY IT WAS HANDLED SO WE MIGHT TRANSFER HER. AS FAR AS THE SCHOOL I HAVEN'T HAD ANY COMPLAINTS I JUST THINK THE SCHOOL SHOULD NOT HAVE OPENED UNTIL ALL CONSTRUCTION WAS COMPLETED IN CASE YOU DON'T KNOW IT'S A HIGHSCHOOL NOW NO LONGER A COLLEGEJaclynn Wedlow

The conservancy is doing a great job of revamping the buildings and in creating an environment which allows children to advance in their educational journey. I work for Detroit Institute For Children and we have a center, in the old Student Center, helping children with special needs and their families.Mike Rhoads

Let this letter to Trio school you to avoid this place like the plague for GI Bill or Vocational Rehab: Please pray for my school experience, copy of what I sent Trio on Campus: Ms Ridley; Voc rehab does  NOT cover food or lodgjng you have been ill informed. Also since when does staff meetings take the place of your first customer the student. You informed me last minute via your surrogate which only makes me further doubt Trio's eternal and everlasting priorities and the humiliation and degradation I have suffered as a protected Veteran and Minister of the Gospel is nothing short of reprehensible  and divine childhood neglect. I will seek to take  my ministry to another learned and worthy institution next Semester or sooner. You people know nothing of love or relationship and I will be praying that you lose all government funding until you treat God's children he sends you with more honour and dignity. E.Erafael Sturms

Fantastic music and theatre program that I aid with. It's also a pretty campus. Every time I go to the Take 5 Lounge, there's always a group or two of people who are making a ruckus. I know it's a difficult slope to tackle, I don't think it's appropriate hearing the n-word in normal dialogue while I'm trying to eat, and I say that as a black man. It's not just those groups though. Groups singing some musical or someone talking loudly on their phone is annoying to hear.Ramone W

I feel that I received an excellent education. The tuition is high, it's more than UofM Ann Arbor. However, you are getting excellent Professor's in smaller classrooms, which I really thought was beneficial for me. I like knowing nearly everyone in my cohort. Professor's in my program were phenomenal. I am agnostic and I do not feel at all that religion was pushed onto me.Heather Issers

I'm enrolled in a Master's program of Architecture at UDM. The curriculum exactly fits my needs and considers all my previous education. Staff and students here are more like a family, that creates friendly environment especially for new students. Studios here are mixed of theoretical and practical approaches, which expands my experiences in both ways. The school shop has all kind of machines that help in doing models. The school has good ranking and reputation in the area. The dean is such a great person, also he is AIA Michigan president of year 2017. Since I got here, I have learned a lot and my skills increase especially in design and using computer softwares. The professors here are really nice and so helpful, they always have their doors opened for any questions or if you're seeking advise. I have been in contact with U of M when I was applying for a Master's program, I found them careless, kinda lost and unorganized, unlike UDM School of Architecture, they know exactly what're they doing and care about each single student in the school. School here gives students good chance to meet with professionals and big companies to help get them a co-op or and intern position once the student graduate.George Morkos

I do not recommend their clinical psychology masters program. The feedback from professors to students about being too “cheeky”, or “share more opinions” has nothing to do with the ability to practice clinically. The suggestion to share more thoughts/opinions in class if you want a letter of recommendation would not have gotten me a letter of recommendation! Apparently it was relevant if the professors liked you and your sense of humor rather than ones ability to provide therapy and conduct assessment. Overpriced for the value. There are plenty of places to get a degree from. I’ve found little from this program to be useful in clinical practice. The training I received following graduation was much more relevant to my practice than theories, having the DSM read in class, and learning to administer projective assessments. The level of diversity was appalling. The most diverse individual I can recall was a middle aged white male pursuing a second career. He stood out from the 20 something white students.Rachel Rosencrants

I would of received a better education in a third world country then what I received going here :/ I mean what can I say I had a constantly drunk professor, who every single class would be drinking out of his “big gulp” mug you could smell the alcohol on him. I also took a advanced senior leadership class where we actually drew with crayons what we wanted to be when we grow up. long story short save your money don’t go here go to a trade school or get a apprenticeship somewhere. This place will only leave you miserable and in debt my track scholarship helped with some of financials thank god.Mike

I am in the new JASS (Journalism and Screen Studies Major) at UM-Dearborn. The profs are very helpful. They let current students print up to 200 free computer pages a semester. The UMD campus has an international atmosphere. Don't expect a wide open campus like Ann Arbor's this campus is compact. All current students can use the fitness facility as part of your enrollment. There is an indoor track, aerobic equipment, weights, racket ball courts, and fitness classes. It is in the athletic building and there is ice skating and basketball. It is supposed to open at 6 a.m. (sometimes they arrive at 6ish but I'm not rating the gym staff) Get in a workout before your class, they have showers and hair dryers. Bring a lock. Arrive very early for class because the parking lot gets full very fast and I'v only seen a shuttle bus once. UMD has just built brand new dorms, so you can get the full college experience. They are located on the Fairlane Mall grounds across Evergreen. I hope they build a cross ramp, because Evergreen drivers go very fast.Tish Tansil

I believe that though UMD may lack the sophistication and professionalism of Ann Arbor campus, it does a good job at providing students with direct attention and assistance from their faculty. It does need to improve infrastructure, international student diversity and should establish stricter entry regulation so that the student quality may improve.However this will not happen because they will not want to compete with their mother campus and secondly thought they have the budget to make the campus better, they will not provide A star quality for a minority student campus. It also needs to improve the catering service- there is no organic food options neither any healthy options- students are forced to eat from the unhealthy options. I think UMD can improve its quality standard and can ensure that at an affordable cost. It needs to pull up its socks, and try to strive for higher standards. However I will give it a thumbs up for student faculty relationships and and quality of faculty.xena athena

It's okay so far. I am still new here. The campus is nice along with the new dorms/lofts. The scheduling for classes is really confusing. Also, this is suppose to be a NO SMOKING campus, people smoke everyday. I just seen someway today walk by puffing away and someone yesterday right by everyone as we are walking, they don't even have the decency to go to a secluded corner. So far it's fine here besides those unfortunate things. (Warning: beware of bee's, there are bee's all over this campus and they will get right by your face).Moe Chamas

Detroit School why haven't you guys fixed the 34 schools in your District which has "Lead " in the water unacceptable. If you guys are willing to spend bottled water and coolers you guys are doing it wrong . I just looked on Line and found water fountains for $379.00 ea . If you guys put let's say 4 per school the grand total only comes to $51,000 and change you still have a remainder about $149,000 .I am pretty sure you guys can probably get even a better deal knowing that the "Detroit School District " needs them ASAP!!!. If you guys want to know that it is better to purchase drinking fountains and you can keep for a very long time . All I want know is how come you guys want to throw you money away bottled water makes no sense. I want to leave you guys freindly message . Sincerely Rafael CastilloRafael Castillo

Teachers work hard in what could otherwise be described as less ideal situations. Special education still needs an overhaul and children given the special education services they deserve. If parents and teachers work together to change how education is defined within the home and community, then the sky is the limit.Justin Kemeny

You NEED to teach these people child care and NOT to leave their innocent babies in cars while they gamble! Ever hear of child development or health class? Stop teaching to the test and teach skills they can actually use. Half the kids don’t show up anyway.Lisa Carter

The program here empowers the children's sense of self-esteem. It also strengthens their dispute resolution, social, and basic reading, writing, critical thinking, science and math skills. It is ethnically diverse. Parent participation is greatly encouraged. All of the staff members are approachable, smart, respectful, and friendly. There are great local field trips in the surrounding urban environment of Midtown Detroit. My child loves attending school here. The only downside is the parking which can be somewhat scarce.Sharon J

I have been lucky enough to be part of an aging brain study/experiment for several years! The staff members are very kind there. I even get paid a stipend for my time!! I hope these experiments helps in research that will help all folk in our aging populations!
