20 Best Paramedic Programs In Chicago, IL (2022 Updated)

I will start with the good. The instructors are amazing. Most of them that I have had are very intelligent and filled with the necessary knowledge to teach you. Now the bad. DO NOT LISTEN TO THE COUNSELORS!!!! Figure out what classes you need to take on your own. I spent 3.5 years there with a combination of full and part time and have no degree and no requirements for any programs that I told them I was most interested in. When I was a vulnerable 17 year old first generation college student there completely on my own they told me I needed to take reading for Nursing. For one, looking back, I placed out of reading. For two, I have yet to come across a nursing program that requires reading. It seems that they always gave me the run around and had me taking all of the classes that I did not need, and none of the classes that I did need. If you can figure out what classes you need to take on your own, then The school if great, and the education that you receive is great. If you have nobody to help you or guide you in your life and are solely dependent on the counselors advise, find an alternative.Amber Parson

I didn’t know I Loved ECC, until I moved and I was out of district so I had to go to MCC. I Hate MCC everything and everyone is shut off by 4pm and there’s no almost no teachers willing to teach past 4 (There are but only some). This is impossible to manage. I’m getting a job near ECC so I can go back. I MISS YOU. Not only does ecc have a ton a teachers, but they offer a variety of times for classes especially in the afternoon. There teachers are wonderful and dedicated (not all of course but most) and there facility offers so many different activities and clubs you can go crazy in there. I won’t cheat on you MCC but I will inform you when I leave you and that it’s not working out.ruby leiva

Campus is always clean and the staff is very helpful. I’m very grateful to be a student at such a good school. The rate my professor reviews tend to be very accurate for the professors but I’ve had an overall excellent experience.Grace Lossau

I write this review with a very heavy heart, as I feel like the issues that have plagued myself and the important people in my life have not been improved on at MCC. Pros: MCC has an incredible range of teachers. The Criminal Justice instructors completely prepared me for transferring to a 4 year. They're so knowledgable in their field and love their students. I still go and visit them since they were so helpful and kind! I also like the variety of clubs they have at the school. There is something for everyone. Cons: This is where I get angry. I know so many people including myself, who have been swindled out of time and money by the counselors. They tell you to take classes, only to turn it around a few semesters later and say you never needed them. I spent a year and a half more there than I needed to, and my boyfriend has spent almost 2 years there more than needed. We were told we needed to take specific classes if we wanted to graduate, only to look at the actual 'planning progress' guide on MyMcc to see that there were numerous alternatives that could have been taken to receive the degree. Not to mention we both were never taught how to navigate the online planning guide, so we trusted the counselors for help. We've wasted thousands of dollars on classes that did not pertain to our majors. I would have spent more if I didn't talk to a teacher in my field, who gave it to me straight and helped me make a schedule of what classes to take that were absolutly necessary. I am still incredibly thankful, but it shouldn't be the teachers job to honestly help plan their classes. That's what a counselor is for. It still blows me away that after all this time this kind of behavior is still accepted. Bottom line is, if you're going here for a class or two for credit during the summer or in between semesters, go for it. If you want to receive a degree, be wary and trust your gut. Learn the (difficult) mechanics of the website, as it's way more reliable than any counselor.Natalie H

Edit: I'm updating my previous review but it still remains at a stellar 5 star. This is the best school I've been to. The people upstairs in Building A who run the advising and financial aid are mediocre but once you pass through that it is so amazing. I always register online for my classes so I don't have to wait in line. So if you like to be guided by the hand and told what courses you should take and not have to contemplate what you might like to take this is not the school for you. This is college, not elementary people, surprise! You actually have to think for yourself! (The audacity, I know) if you go in looking for private rich kid snobby type atmosphere where people carry you to wherever you need to go you're going to be disappointed. Apologies for the rant but I've seen so many people 1 starring this school over the most pretentious things. —————————————————- Current student, awesome instructors (Minus the English professor Poe) they're super helpful, and that goes for pretty much the whole school too. You can stop a student if you have a question and they'll help you if they can. Great learning environmentLoreley Paschky

As far as instructors go, I cannot recommend MCC enough. Those I have currently, and have had in the past, go above, beyond, and well out of their way to assist students with material, so future students can rest assured that they will be in good hands. One thing I will say is, be ready to deal with ten kinds of attitude from financial aid, if and when you need to contact them. I've had to do so twice this semester – once for an issue they could have contacted me with when said issue happened and avoided the mix-up all together and once with a question about a grant I received – and on both occasions it seemed like I was bothering them. I got really snotty, condescending answers, so….be prepared to deal with that. That aside, though, I love MCC and highly recommend it, whether you're just starting out or heading back to school.Asero

No a good place to take a home inspector class you have 60 hours to read a huge book, and triton college push you to get brand new book but all the material they show you is from 1900, therefore the teacher encourage you to just read the book because their old material doesn't Match with the new book, nothing is updated. Plus If you miss 1 point on your exam you lose the whole course and have to do it again because they don't give you another chance to take another test even for one point and expected to pay all again.so you waste your time,your money..and all over it the instructor says that if English is not your first language you are in the wrong place and makes comments all the time about people's accents. Othe places help you pass the state exam n everything.. Don't waste your time and money taking home inspector course at triton collegeNkos

The worst school to even inquire for a program.. they will charge you and send your info to the credit Breau if you don't pay!! The cashiers will emails you everyday and night and they will make you pay for not attending classes that you never even registered for! Didn't go into classes because it was covid and never even attended for any class online but they want me to pay for not providing any serviceJexlee Charles (Charles10)

Clean, friendly, cool school. I was in the A building, the lady in room A126 was VERY nice and quiet since it was a testing room. They even have FREE feminine products in restrooms for women. I asked about future classes and the lady who helped me initially was VERY pleasant and turned her computer screen around to show me how to navigate the schools website!! All around, GREAT experience!brianne Fondren

Terrible experience lately. Have been taking sculpture but always have known a seething ill will exists. There is an undercurrent poisoning the atmosphere as if some sort of competition is going on rather than artistic creation. If it had not happened so often I would not complain but whatever I work on generally gets moved to the back of the line to be cast whenever. It doesn't feel good. I had put up with it because I live in a tiny trailer and really enjoyed having room to sculpt. It was just a pipe dream I had after I retired but now it isn't fun being the object of attitude manipulation and derision as if I have a case of dementia and am unable to discern the actions of this coterie. This is going to be my last class if I can cast what I did in wax last semester and I'll find some other medium rather than allowing the insult to my psyche to continue. That would really prove I'm the fool certain people have attempted to define me as having become. Take heed. Too many folks want to step on your face if you let them.Teresa Wendorff

Covid vaccine review. Very organized. It all went smoothly. Thank you to all the workers there! First, there are a few check-in/screenings. Then you meet with a military personal to give your insurance and personal info to. Then it’s shot time. After a couple min wait I was in the chair. Monitored for 15 mins and second dose appointment made. I arrived around 10:00am and was back in my car by 10:40am.Erica S

This was truly a great experience, there were support from The Military Servicemen,and Servicewomen directing, and explaining our next step. We were register, given our injection, made our next appointment, and taking our 15 min to watch for sidereffect within 1/hour. Very well organized.Alberta Freeman

I have been a student of DePaul University – Law College since 2019. Before joining DePaul I was contemplating between DePaul and other Universities, I am so happy I made the right choice to join DePaul. Not only is it a prestigious University with many famous alumni names, but also because it is a University that has made the list of the top best Universities for many years. Depaul has the best facility you can hope to study under, the administration are very helpful and my advisor, is one of the best, always available whenever I needed assistance, guidance or help. If you are a graduate of DePaul, you can be sure that employers will want to add you to their staff. Being part of DePaul, is being part of a large educational family. There are two campuses, the main one is located in Lincoln Park and the other one is located in the Loop, right in the heart of the business hub, if you are attending College of Law or College of Business. There are two huge libraries in the Loop campus, with access to Starbucks, as well as to, Barnes and Nobles. In both Colleges you have cafeterias amd study lounges. There is a Toastmasters club at DePaul and many other groups and clubs to join. Also, DePaul offers a help center, fpr students who may need extra help with certain classes, as well as, a writing center for whenever you need your essays reviewed, with feedback and assistance in improving it before submission. With all of the above and more, I could not possibly list all of the things DePaul os known for, or offers, but I can tell you one thing, if you happen to choose DePaul and become accepted, be sure you are part of the many successful people who will graduate with pride. DePaul is my University and hopefully it will be yours.Yazan Al-Khuzai

You can be a full fledged patriotic American, but just because your parents travel and you may have a foreign transcript (from high school/ middle school) you are deemed an international student. To add insult to injury this particular issue entailed the student already having graduated from a neighboring community college. Yet still, they are deemed international. An obvious protocol set in place to guzzle money out of the student. Wasn’t even thrilled about their level of academics to begin with, so not having this school as an option isn’t a loss in the slightest for our family. I appreciate their immediate display of a lack of sensical protocol, because it made us deem this school unfit without wasting any further time. Thanks DePaul!The RE: Brand

Hispanic Heritage event went on without a hitch. Free of Problems and controversy. Entertainment was Great Food was Awesome. The Highlight was the introduction of the Main Speakers The New Era Young Lord's. Also some Associates and Friends from there Early Year's. The Bomba group provided good Entertainment and a Festive Atmosphere. In the Middle Sixties you could count the Minorities attending DePaul. The all played on the Basketball team. Vast improvements have been made. Opening Enrollment and and Opputunity. We can Thank Groups like the Young Lord's who brought to the light the Contridiction's. Great Job Latino Students.Rory Guerra

I recently received a class schedule (non-credit) brochure in the mail from Harper College and found a mosaic class taught by artisan and glass artists Urii Guchenia and Nathalie who has her very own studio in Willowbrook. The class was very inexpensive and well worth it! Kristin the librarian was very efficient in sending us a friendly email reminder along with the campus map to find the building where the class was. The class was held in “The Make Shop” within the library. All supplies were furnished and setup for us. Nathalie and Urii gave a us brief history of glass mosaics and were so helpful while we created our pieces. They had a vast array of glass tiles in every color imaginable! It was so much fun and gave us all a whole new appreciation of mosaic artisanry!Michelle Foy

A place where I got the opportunity to make wonderful memories that will be with me forever!! A place which helped me find my hidden passion and persistently encouraged me to work for it!! All along with a beautiful campus, excellent faculty and staff, and interesting engagement activities!! The professors, academic advisors, and counselors helped me excel in classes, motivated and kept me on track for the completion of my degree in a timely manner, and most importantly helped me make my mind to work for a specific major rather than remaining undecided! All in all, if I succeed in my career years later, Harper will always be a crucial reason for my success!! Thank you Harper for everything and I badly miss you!!Prerak Patel

Please do not go to this school, its terrible! I went here for 3 years and obtained an associates degree in Arts meant towards a bachelors degree back in 2014 but my experience was horrible. Me being black and African, they denied me an opportunity to use the Chemistry Lab to work on an idea that I wanted to prove yrt they were allowing other students to use it. Yet, the school used me to advertise in the Daily Herald News Paper as an immigrant that goes to their school doing athletics. I did athletics (Track and Field and Cross-country) for 2 Years.Turyamusiima Livan

The University of Chicago Booth campus is one of the oldest higher learning institutions in Chicago. The Campus is spread across the South Hyde Park and surrounding neighborhood. Had a chance to stop into the Harper Building and the welcoming atrium and staff. The administrative staff here are very friendly and knowledgeable. The students come for undergraduate or the prestigious grad school at Booth. The world class research institution is considered one of the top universities in the Midwest.chad svastisalee

Pleased to visit one of the most important Universities in the World! Its gardens, its period buildings keep an incomparable history with other universities! All its facilities are in favor of encouraging research and studies! Impressed by its majesty in knowledge and educational experience! This is part of the quality of its professionals that make them competitive worldwide!miguel chang

I enjoy the mix of old buildings and new ones. Going in the old buildings, is like go into a time capsule. Student's seem to enjoy the campus, as well as residents of the neighborhood. Enjoy the small businesses surrounding the campus. Their are several things to do, you just have to venture out and find them.Jerome Scarborough

*note – typos are due to phone issues, not poor education. I have had good experiences at this school and also at Harold Washington. The teachers are the best part of community colleges. My understanding is that they are chosen based on their ability to teach, rather than what research they are doing (which I'm told is the major criteria for hiring professors at 4 year universities). The only negative experience here, has been some minor harassing by the business office about tuition payment. This is somewhat understandable, but my frustration is due to having already spoken with the office about when I will pay, but I'm still receiving constant reminders to do so. That really is minor though and I would recommend this school to anyone. Very friendly and helpful teachers, cafeteria workers (food is decently priced to) and custodial staff. Haven't really interacted with anyone other than that.RoProArt

This college is the worst colleges in the history of Chicagoland and I thought that the teachers care more about students with special needs and disabilities as well but it seems like they don’t really care about disabilities students like us who struggle through catching up with some homework assignment on blackboard and has to be submitted by those instructor which they never graded it at all over the past two months or so I had a terrible experience of being part of this school which is too far compared to where I’m live at now every day I always take three buses and two train like the red line train to the blue line train and a extra bus to get there but always get there very late and the students from there are so sarcastic and not really friendly that much often. But the services are very low like I’ll give it like around one or two stars ⭐️⭐️Samuel Garcia

I went to the GED office everything was perfect and very nice people there but NOT tutoring center office A-245 , I can't believe Wright college still have these people in its offices reception! They need to learn how to nicely receive students ,being nice won't cost you anything, you're in college not at your home ,remember that ! If you feel that's not your place plz move , without students you'll never be there .I'm talking about the black lady with glasses at reception. Also remember that next time I'll definitely REFUSE your service in front of everyone. Since you're in school take advantage to LEARN.Amuzzur Izzan

Had applied to this school for the MRI Program. Paid all the fees for application, transcripts, etc. Took the entrance exams and passed. Received my classes/schedule and sent them my fafsa. I had been registered for my classes already. I did an interview, the person that interviewed me was not professional, believe her name was Danielle Dertz. When trying to answer questions, i was cut off constantly and put down. Then right when everything was set and done for me to start the course, they give me a call that they do not want me as a student. My time was wasted, as well as money. They thought that I was not a good fit for the program because it is "too stressful". Previously, I was a full time student as well as a full time employee and received my degree from a different school with good grades, so I was stunned at this claim. They based this claim off of a previous job I had quit which had no relation to the MRI program itself. Instead of giving me a chance, when i expressed my interest and drive for the school i was shut down. Really disappointed in how i was treated as a student in the pandemic wanting to further my education Reply to response: The fact that you guys based your decision of my admittance on a job I worked over a year ago is disappointing. Both careers are very different from one another, so it’s sad that it is assumed that I wouldn’t be able to handle the program. My grades and achievements proved otherwise, but that was completely overlooked. I noticed with other reviews that many students had issues with the interview process as well. One would think after so many complaints something would be done about it but i guess not. As a student wanting to further their education, being discouraged because of a decision made, once again, over a year ago, was very disappointing. CNA is not the same as MRI. Many things change after over a year. The way I was put down by the Program Director was very upsetting and unprofessional. And I had also received a full schedule for the program. All of my classes were listed. You guys had waited to tell me that I was no longer accepted, hence my time being wasted. Instead of telling me right after the interview, you guys had waited. I was asked to fill out financial aid and receive my classes all the while knowing that I was not to be accepted.Tali Gallik

Midwestern Career College is a phenomenal institution! The staff, students and alumni are some of the most driven and intelligent people I have ever met. I originally met Mary Schmidt in 2018 and was fortunate to form a great business relationship after attending a career fair at the Chicago campus. While I originally attended this career fair strictly looking for Medical Assistants to hire, Mary educated me on the Externship Program that the institution offers. Mary was so kind to visit various UroPartners locations to further discuss this program with our Practice Managers. After many introductory visits, UroPartners started placing externs last year. We have now placed six MA externs and three of those individuals are full time employees who are still with the company today! In addition to that, our surgery center is now also participating in this program as they have started placing Surgical Technologists externs onsite. It has been amazing to watch this program grow and I look forward to all the future success Midwestern Career College and UroPartners will form together.Yasmine Lozano

I’m currently a student enrolled in the EKG program and I’ve really appreciated the take on online education. We have an in person class once a week that really brings the class together and elaborates on key points. The facilities are really nice, the class I’m in is in their downtown building, and I have an outstanding opportunity to learn about my field. The class sizes are not big so there’s always opportunities to ask questions and clarify for my own sake. The teachers are very helpful and are more than willing to go the extra mile for their students which is amazing because you just won’t always get that at a bigger school. All in all I’ve really enjoyed my time at at Midwest career college and will be recommending this course of study for any of my friends or family looking to get an education in any of the many fields that MCC has to offer!!Michael Goubine

Garry did an amazing job. I've taken MANY CPR courses since I am in the medical field but this by far trumps them all. He was thorough, showed by example throughout the entire class proper chest compressions and even got into the details of why we do the things we do during CPR. I highly recommend this course for anyone, whether in the medical field or if you are just trying to prepare yourself for a medical emergency. He has so much passion for this and truly wants to help you save someone's life. I will certainly be using this class again in the future when it's time to renew.Maryam Golshani

I was very nervous heading in to this class. I had been procrastinating taking ACLS for quite some time, but when I saw Garry’s class and read the reviews , I decided to get it done. All of the other positive reviews are true. Garry made the class ( almost ) stress free. He is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about what he teaches. He breaks down a complicated topic and makes it easy to understand. I am moving out of state , but when my renewal time come up, I wouldn’t hesitate to drive back to Illinois to take my class with Garry !Susan Bednarek

Garry is phenomenal!. He provides a non- discriminating environment of learning. He is very thorough and always has a smile on his face. I’m not a morning person, but, I never felt sleepy during his lectures. That’s how engaging he is and you know that he applies his own experience to what he’s teaching. I would definitely renew my BLS/ACLS certificate with him every time. I don’t mind driving 30 miles as long as he’s my instructor. I love him!!Kim Lloyd Ong

First Five is an excellent schoolhouse to get your EMT certification. The program is filled with knowledgeable instructors, great equipment, and training scenarios to prepare you for the field. The staff will help you through every step of the EMT certification process. From the course material to setting up and scheduling your National test, this establishment will get you certified. More than instructors, the staff will become your mentors and explain the ins and outs of the field of emergency medicine. Whether you want to be a fireman, work in a hospital, or are trying to be a paramedic; First Five is the best way to start your journey into the EMS world.Nicholas Martinez

First Five is an excellent EMT school! Chris and all of the instructors genuinely care about teaching and helping you to understand the material, create a fun and positive learning environment, and treat you like family from day one. They don't just present the material in powerpoints and leave you to figure it all out on your own. They offer many resources to succeed, integrate their own personal experiences into the class, and provide awesome hands on training and scenario based practicals to illustrate concepts and get you thinking. Thanks First Five!Raymond Trelka

Excellent place to start a career in EMS! The instructors are true professionals and provide knowledge that can only be given by those who have first-hand experience with what they teach. These programs can be overwhelming for many but the instructors facilitate and cater to all learning styles to ensure that every student is set for success. The EMT program is structured very well and it is excellent at preparing students for the national exam. If anyone is looking for somewhere to start, look no further this is the place to go!Andree Moreno

I found out about Chicago EMT Training through a friend who took the class and I can say that the class really exceeded my expectations. The class is taught by multiple instructors who have been in EMS for different periods of time and come from different backgrounds which helped aide my learning experience. Along with that, the class does a very good job in giving you hands on experiences in the field (hospital E.Rs, ambulance ride alongs, concert events) with the different connections that they have and I learned so much through it. The class is hybrid, which I was hesitant about in the beginning, but I can truly say that it was the perfect level of online and in-person. I highly recommend this program if you are interested in becoming an EMT.Ashley Yabes

Chicago EMT Training is an amazing program that has prepared me extremely well to become an EMT-B (basic). More importantly, this 18-week course made me a better person. Victor and Marty are great people who are incredibly dedicated to your learning and genuinely wish the best for you. They push you to achieve high standards with support and encouragement, and I think this program produces the most knowledgeable and skilled EMTs in the area. Their Youtube channel has some of the most informative emergency medicine videos out there. The training is a wonderful investment, whether you are in a career change, hoping to acquire clinical hours for other healthcare professions, or simply want to feel more confident handling emergency situations.Katie Karalis

Experience that I will remember forever. Best EMT training program you can attend. Marty and Victor are both amazing and passionate about EMS and for us to succeed in whatever we plan to do in the future. I took the summer course and enjoyed my time here. I learned and practiced skills that I will use in the future in the healthcare field. If you are thinking of taking this during your summer break and thinking if it is worth it? It is, the clinicals and lab time is something you will remember and learn a lot from. Time went by fast in this course and I learned so much that made me more confident about my future.Mohib Mohammed

I went into the ED for mental health assistance and ended up being admitted to a facility. I was transported to this facility by Elite ambulance. Little did I know I was going to end up with a $1000 bill. I work in EMS, I understand the business. There's no way anyone in EMS can afford a $1000 bill. If I would have known I was going to get stuck with $1000 for a non emergent BLS transport I would have never gone in for the help. Isn't that sad?Zach Higgins

Overbooking wheelchair transports and making a disabled elderly woman sit and wait for a ride for over 3 hours is NOT acceptable! No apology or anything! Then 2 days later they didn't even bother to show up to transport her to another appointment or call to say they weren't coming. I hope they have a family member that gets treated like this one day soon so they can know how it feels. Never again will they be used by us or friends…Dan Chavez

This place is amazing,they really care for employees and set them up for success in 5 to 7 years u become a fully trained paramedic helping to save life's. That's Showwtimme.Robert Seredi

The school is a good choice but Make sure you are your own advocate. Counselor had me taking classes we found out I never needed, waisted a semester of time and money taking prerequisites I already qualified for. Also make sure CLCs or any Collage major is truly applicable in the real world the professors were great but unfortunately CRJ has zero use even in law enforcement. If you plan on going into the corporate world doing anything, just get a business degree. If not learn a hands on skill.David Castro

Reviewing the campus as a visitor. The campus is accessible from multiple main roads , and there are signs to get to the campus on all entrances. But the signs within the campus to different wings and entrances are not large enough and poorly lit. Even the entrance markings are not legible from the parking lot or roads making navigation of campus very stressful. The campus is organized well and interiors is beautiful and well maintained. The auditorium is decent.Satish Kulkarni

Got my highlights and a cut at the technical campus cosmetology department. An amazing job and an amazing price. Students do a wonderful job and are completely supervised. I have been doing my hair here for years and never had a bad experience. Also great professional products are used as well. I highly recommend!Jennifer Perez

Its a racket! They professors and staff do the bare minimum to get paid. I took a course with Professor Begum and it was the worst. She did not create a good learning environment and was just mean plain and simple. When I would send emails and chats, she didn't reply for weeks, not until I got the Dean's involved. Choose any other city college because Truman is the worst!Christine Carr

I am very proud of this Truman College. I learned so much English and I got my GED diploma here. I feel a better person now with all the achievements I made at this great school. I want to thank you to all the teachers and instructors for teaching and making us to improve our knowledge to better citizens.J. CARMEN VAZQUEZ

Great place to start your future at a affordable price. Truman college also offers cosmetology & Barbering as well. Financial aid available. Please consider Truman City College as your place to help build your future dreams.michael sacramento

This is the most unorganized, most unprofessional nursing program I’ve ever seen. There are too many hands in the pot. You'll have one professor tell you to do things one way, and then the other professors will say It's done in a completely different way. Moreover, I wish I knew ahead of time about this program–because I would've gone elsewhere. This place is chaotic, everything is all over the place. From the Labs to the lectures; how do they expect students to learn like this? This program is a total waste of time. Oh and let’s not forget the bullying many of the students encounter at the hands of their professors. Some of the professors talk to the students like pure trash–like they’re children; hence, (I wouldn't even talk to a child in the way some of these instructors talk to their students). Furthermore, you’re teaching yourself (like how can you teach yourself to be a nurse?). Also, you’re scared to ask questions without the professors making you feel stupid for asking the question. Save yourself and go somewhere else, you'll be glad you did.The Universes Karma

The Illinois Drivers Facility in Prairie State College is very well organized. Progress is very well facilitated. The facility is in a very spacious area where the safety protocols are easy to follow and ARE adhered to. Regardless of the purpose of your visit, the applicable state associate will move you along expeditiously resulting in your spending a minimal amount of time in the building. I do recommend getting there at least 30 minutes before opening as lines for entry become long rather quickly.Ronald Rhodes

I recently completed the real estate licensing program here and was amazed at what I learned. All of my fees were paid in full. The WEI program covered all of my expense and we had an awesome teacher. My hats off to Mrs. Regina Richardson. She’s very knowledgeable and I feel very prepared to take the Illinois Real Estate Board exam❤️❤️❤️❤️Anittra Alexander

We used EMC for our work CPR training and it was great! Troy and Therese were wonderful teachers and they made the class as enjoyable as possible considering the heavy and important subject matter.Gianna Lia

The Music Department at Concordia University Chicago is a gem in the world of universities offering music education and piano pedagogy programs. The professors have degrees from top notch conservatories and universities, and are truly interested in seeing their students succeed in the classroom and after graduation. The classes are small and taught by the professors themselves. All professors take time to answer questions either in class or outside of class. The Chicago area is so fortunate to have this excellent program near-by.Kristine Konrad

Although I never attended this school, I've been on Concordia's campus quite a bit – from having my high school track & field practices held here to utilizing the library's resources if I needed to while attending school down the street, I've always found Concordia to be a close-knit, safe, and good looking campus with very friendly people all around. To say that it feels like a community-within-a-community here is no exaggeration, and at times I wished that I had gone here for college.Jeff Weber

The best location, professors and overall experience for an adult learner. CUC made it easy to go back to school after 20 years. Wonderful environment and teachers that work with you to make sure you learn and understand. I will steer my children to go here as well, which is coming up fast; especially since I just went through all the aspects of financial aid and registrations I would be able to help them a lot. Mike Kenny is an excellent counselor as well. Great school.April Kibler
