19 Best Physician Assistant Programs In Milwaukee, WI (2022 Updated)

I have had an amazing experience with Herzing University! I am excelling in my degree choice and I couldn't be more satisfied with my learning experience and the flexibility that the online program gives me.The instructors are all willing to help whenever I have a question, and if they see many students struggling with something, they will post an announcement with some helpful tips on how to proceed through our courses. The learning material is easy to understand, the discussion boards really help me connect with my classmates more than I normally would, the library is full of everything you might need for your studies, and the Coach rooms and Tutoring center are very helpful! I have seen many posts off and on about how students struggled in this school. I have to say the most common thing I see students struggling from in these courses is not doing the assigned work on time, not participating in the discussions, and not following the assigned directions on assignments. We have to take responsibility and do our work (on time!) or we will not succeed, and we should not blame someone else for our lack of trying. Just with everything else in life, if you do not put any effort into something, you will not gain anything from it. Overall, if you need a great school, with a good price, amazing learning experiences, and great instructors, then Herzing is the way to go!Kohake Family Shared

I stared with Herzing back in 2013 for my undergrad BSN RN. At that time, school was still establishing itself, therefore, I had some rough time getting through the program, but overall my experience was good. This year I came back for my MSN FNP and let me tell you ))) My experience with Herzing in 2019 is absolutely amazing. This school grew so much! Lots of support, any time you need it, everyone is very attentive and friendly. You still have to do a lots of studying, but isn't what we came here for? I'm beyond satisfied, thank you Herzing faculty and staff, you're the best!KateM M

This University is so awesome. I am in my 3rd semester and am grateful for the progress I am making. I even made the Dean's list! The instructors are active, involved, and try helping you succeed every way they can. I am super excited about where this will take me in my near future. I really enjoy the online learning experience and I'm so happy with the decision I've made.Jasmine Coleman

I am in my sixth week taking online courses at MATC. I have chosen the IT Support Associate Degree program, for two reasons: One the program is only two years, I’ll be able to launch into the job market faster, and because IT is such a diverse, and fast growing career path, I know I will find a fit into the IT world upon graduation. I chose MATC because MATC is convenient and conventional. I can take classes online, at my own pace, and be on campus for the classes I need more focus and dedication to. This IT program combined with my 10 plus years customer service experience, I know I will be able to reach any career goal I set. Now, while my interest in computers and knack for problem solving I know this career path will be suitable for me, however, to any prospective student looking for a quick money type of career, this program is not for you. This program consists of lots of physical and mental work, also taking consideration of the customers you are serving. If a prospective student welcomes challenges and is comfortable with asking questions and not feeling intimidated by the mass amount of information you will retain then this is a program for you. Prospective students should also be aware that they don’t have to work or figure stuff out alone, one of my favorite accommodations is having access to tutoring, whether online or in person- at all campuses. Fellow future students should also know that acquiring their degree at MATC is a smart money move, students can save thousands of dollars getting their education here, as opposed to a four year college/university. Future students should also know that credits will transfer to a four year college such as MSOE or UWM.Britanni Hildenbrand

Information Technology is very informative program. This program breaks down a lot of things that can happen with computer systems. It is a to-date program. I choose this program because I want to go more in depth with technology. Everyone uses technology every day. I would like to be able to assist those who are not tech savvy. MATC I.T support program has a great path program. Pathway allows you get a few certificates take a break and come back for your diploma. Completing this program will give the knowledge and skill I need to become an I.T professional. Instructors are very helpful. Staff is friendly. MATC is an awesome place to start your education in information technology.Nicole Herron

My experience in MATC IT Computer Support Specialist program is limited but good so far. I chose to pursue this degree because it lines up well with my current work experience and career goals. So far, I have been able to take all my classes online with no scheduled class times, so I can complete assignments at my own pace without interfering with my work schedule. Another thing this program does well, is that it offers options to achieve many different certifications on your way to a degree. They also work with businesses to help their student get jobs after graduating. I would recommend this program to someone looking to get into IT Support as a career.Alexander Salas

I decided to transfer. Minimal funding for the humanities, so if your want to major in English, philosophy, history, etc maybe consider transferring for the sake of your education. I'm not exaggerating either- some of the adjuncts who work here have even told me to do this. The student body and some of the staff are incredibly arrogant, rude, and competitive. You will be stereotyped based off of where you come from- especially if you are from Illinois. I found that the people here don't try and get to know you for who you really are, even considering the fact that both you and them ended up at the same university. When I told my advisor I was planning on transferring, he scoffed and told me "Transfer wherever the h*** you want, my commission won't be affected" and then proceeded to tell me he had no clue how the transfer process worked, scoffed at me again, and told me "good luck". The dorm food is low quality, and to eat healthy you basically have to risk your life by crossing an on-ramp to the highway to get to Straz aka the dorm with the healthy food. There isn't much to do in the college town, and Milwaukee is a lot further away and more unsafe to get to than how the brochures portray it.Audrey Gordon

Marquette offers a great college experience and a fantastic education for well rounded young adults. Marquette is located in a fun city that is going through a healthy revival with a large community of people under 40 deciding to live in the city instead the the burbs. It's a Jesuit school, so the school and students are more conservative than public land-grant universities. We were impressed with the indications of community service, tolerance, and good works that we observed practically everywhere we looked. It was the only school we saw that had postings on their student boards for volunteer work and community service. Marquette also offers deep academic resources.

I just graduated in May 2014, I could not be more grateful for the experience Marquette provided me over the last 4 years. It contains the great campus community of a large school while having the city of Milwaukee in walking distance for an endless amount of activities for weekends. The graduation and job rates are over 50% greater for MU grads compared to many of the local in-state schools, it's well worth the money. Do not let the high price tag published online scare you away, over 90% of students receive a scholarship starting freshman year.Brian Sobon

This might be a great institution for you if you do not have the following: -any impairment mentally, physically, or emotionally that professors can view as "at risk" for any future clientele -if you worry that any personal hardship (such as personal trauma, including any diagnosis formed from that experience) will be used against you in evaluation to be later dismissed from the program -if you want to openly and constructively have opposing views of the professor's perspective on material -if you display any physical, mental, and emotional characteristics that diverge from the norm (race, disability, etc) -if you want the American Disability Association regulations to be properly enforced compared to public and technical colleges -if you want a whole staff of people versus only one person to help you in disability accommodations -if you are one to choose not drop out after the first week and do not want 0% of your payments to be returned -want to have the ability to effectively transfer credits from this institution to another college if things don't work out -if you do not want to give absolute control to the faculty to dismiss you for personal reasons outside of your schoolwork -if you are afraid of the change in advisors changing the requirements to make seniors not be able to graduate as readily -If you are not ok with the idea of student evaluations of a professor going only to that professor to be seen, even if they are someone who isn’t effective amongst the workplace -are uncomfortable with the idea that if you are a student chosen to be possibly dismissed, to be given documents that are made to not be valid for a lawsuit if unfairly treated -if you want your degree to transfer outside of the Mount Mary system, this is not possible in any way Regardless of how pretty it looks like on the outside, does not mean there are not issues amongst the inside. The only way for things to change in the inside is for people to speak up about the problems that are existent so progress can be made. None of these criticisms is focused on any one individual or is wishing any harm to anyone, this is a comment meant to inform those on the outside about fallacies on the inside that otherwise no one would know about unless you are inside.Anonymous Person-1

Mount Mary University is amazing university and the campus is very beautiful too. The staffs and professors are great and serious about your major. There are lots of resources that are available to anyone. If you don't know what you want to major, they will help you..etc.. I encourage you to attend this school if you looking for college. The best part of mount Mary is Student Success Center where you can find help; free tutor, library, career counseling, computer , browning laptop etc…Thachin Tial

I come here every now and again to visit my friend. It's a pretty easy process. The dorm uses keys still, and each floor is locked. So if you're looking for security, Mount Mary is pretty good. But the first floor is the only floor with men's bathrooms (in the dorms), which is the only downside.Eric Hupf (tkoalas)

‼️‼️Long post – Alverno College is pocketing student's REFUNDABLE $100 tuition deposits ‼️‼️ Back in January I was accepted into a graduate program at Alverno College in Milwaukee. After being accepted I was urged to put down $100 as a tuition deposit to "hold my spot" because spaces were very limited. Excited to start this program, I eagerly put the money down the day I found out I was accepted. I couldn't enroll in classes until I was awarded financial aid. I submitted my FAFSA file to them when I applied and was waiting for Alverno's financial aid department to let me know what I was awarded. The total cost of the program is roughly $52,000. I was only awarded $20,500 (my credit isn't good enough for personal loans and I have absolutely no one to co-sign for me). Like most people, I could not afford to pay for the rest of the program out of pocket and had no choice but to tell Alverno I couldn't attend. Last week I realized that they never refunded my $100 that was meant to go towards my tuition. They emailed me back saying the $100 is nonrefundable, and that it was stated as such on my acceptance letter. That much is true, it DOES say the fee is non refundable on my acceptance letter. Out of curiosity, I looked at the Admission Policies on their website and it states that $100 tuition deposits ARE refundable until May 1st. The DEMSN program guide states that the $100 goes towards a student's first semester tuition. If I never had the chance to start the program, where did this money go? And how many other students have they done this to? I spoke with the Enrollment Director of the DEMSN program (Sean Walker) and he did nothing but argue with me on the phone, cutting me off and comparing my situation to the time he "put down $500 on an apartment and decided not to take it". I told Sean that it's INSANE that this college is taking students money AT ALL, let alone in the midst of a global pandemic. His response was "there was no pandemic when you applied." I've accepted that I probably won't see my money again, but people need to know about their shady business practices and how little they care about their hard working students that are giving EVERYTHING they have to make a better life for themselves. These are NOT Christian values and I'm so sick of big companies stepping on the little guys.Monet Padilla

I will be as blunt and honest as possible. The business office/financial aid office has absolutely the worse kind of people. The women in this office are super rude to you and even when they make mistakes on their end regarding payments…they still don't apologize!! They make you feel like a criminal standing in there being accused of not paying, when payments are made in advance! Oh and when they are proven wrong…all they have to say is, oh this is taken care of now..TERRIBLE. TERRIBLE. TERRIBLE. You would think with the amount of money they make on students tuitions that they would get their business office together. Just get it together Alverno..your students are not your enemies. In fact, your students are why you even exist. Also they don't transfer credits, so you are either there until you graduate or just threw away a boat load of money.Christina

Don't waste your time here. Their nursing program is a joke. Half the time you are teaching yourself yet paying thousands of dollars. The professors make up their own rules as they please and don't follow their own syllabus. They are constantly changing their rules and criteria, they will not tell you the changes until you meet with your advisor about something. Nothing transfers to other schools so be sure you are going to finish here if you plan on attending. I would never recommend this school to anyone. They don't value you as a student. They screw you over. Definitely look elsewhere!!! Don't waste your money or time. I've done enough of that for all of us.Crystal

I'm an alumni of MSOE's class of '17 with a BS degree in Software Engineering. This school is not for everyone. The courses are very difficult and there is no such thing as an easy A. The grading scale has higher expectations that normal colleges. Students are expected to put a lot of time and effort into their course work. That being said, MSOE is well known for the their high job placement ratings in the graduate's degree of study and the quality of their graduates. Their facilities are not the latest and greatest, but they make sure that you are knowledgeable in your field of study. Every year, MSOE will hold a career fair in the fall to help students connect with potential employers for summer internships in addition to part-time and full time jobs. This is great practice for students for networking. This was also one of the factors that helped me get an internship my freshman year. For potential students, I would recommend making sure that you are confident in your choice of study. Unlike most public colleges, you must declare your major before you start your college career. It can be very difficult and expensive to switch tracks once you've started your degree. The switch from Computer Engineering to Software Engineering is not too difficult since the tracks start off very similar in the beginning. However if will be a challenge to switch from Biomedical Engineering to Mechanical Engineering. One last note I would like to make is that I have found all of the staff to be very professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. To mention a few this includes, the Software Engineering Department, Math Department, Science Department, Humanities Department and Career Services Department.Erin Heinz

It had a knowable volume and it allowed the transmission of ideas through it being a gathering place for people. The people may not have adequately transmitted their ideas in this space, but I won't hold the space accountable. There is no rubric for his space to exceed any of my expectations; however it did exactly meet them. Therefore, I will give it an adequate rating of three stars.Sam Ludwig

I am a current student and the lady name Dana in administration office who was very bad service and she doesn't know too much about international students what they need. I am very disappointed with her. She is exactly not qualified for administration.Crystal Aee

No personal experience from me, just from friends. Most say it's ok but that they would have chosen a different school had they known what this school was like.Krista Rose

*Very Professional *Very Informative Information *Very Well Taught Classes *Very Reasonable Prices *Instructor Mrs. Kim B is very well rounded and have excellent interpersonal, customer service, communication skills, knows her stuff, and takes her time with you if you need the help *Alliance has been an overall wonderful experience. I was blind coming into this field, but now I feel equipped to begin and maintain in the healthcare field of being a Certified CBRF Caregiver .*Shirleen Williams

I was referred to this place through m.c.f.i And I had a great experience..working with Ms.Kim and her staff..I enjoyed my time and experience well..knowledgeable..great conduct…I would definitely recommend this faculty..that stays on point of everything you need…allyson crockett

Hello my name is Vawneka .H I went to Alliance Healthcare to take there Phlebotomy course and I pass I learned so much there they where very kind, and, professional what a wonderful place for success Thank you all so much😘CHOSEN ONE

Frordtert / MCW saves lives. Sometimes it may be a bit disconcerting having a Senior Professor drag a passel of Med Students into a room, and have them all poke and prod a patient….but given that these are all The Best And The Brightest, with young Turks all second-guessing/kibbitzing, Great Care ensues.Drb Snc

Loving, kind, supportive staff, they provide everything you need to pass your test. I passed my phlebotomy test with flying colors thanks to them. I’ll never forget the kindness of the staff here. Forever grateful. Love All <3Tasheka Smith

Awesome place to work! Cutting Edge teaches Phlebotomy, Customer Service and Forklift Operation. They really care about the student. Many students come from challenging backgrounds and want to make a change for the better. The Instructors and the staff get to know them on a personal level. So, they embrace the whole person. They are not just a body in a classroom. Students get to know the entire staff. Cutting Edge offers support and encouragement to succeed in the course that the student has chosen. The end goal is for the student to leave equipped with a new skill set and employment opportunities to help them make the change that they desire. With passionate instructors and committed staff, the only you will not succeed at Cutting Edge, as a student or employee, is if you don't try!Rosalind “Roz the Realtor” Chambers

As a current sales employee, I must say that the company in its self is ever growing, and provides so much room for you develop. The company is well managed, and leadership is always willing to listen and take constructive feedback to better the progress of the company and it's goals.Julissa Wright

If I could do it over again I would have spent my money on a much better phlebotomy course. I do not feel I was properly instructed nor properly prepared to enter the field following completion of this course.sarah locallo

When you call at 4pm on a Monday and you get the voice mail that says the office is closed and proceeds to say call back from 8:30-4:30 Monday – Thursday…gloria lorraine

I am an alum and an employee of the College. I can't speak highly enough of the quality of the education and research being done at L&S.Jonathan Stenitzer

Their wasting students time by not helping them to get a job after training. They are keeping students who complete their training longer to keep their funding. And this is not a rumor!!!!Mz
