Midwestern University-Downers Grove Reviews of Master's in Health Sciences

"I have mixed reviews when it comes to this school. Some professors are great and some professors have made it extremely hard to want to continue in my major. If you’re looking for a supportive school, who will choose to support the student, do not choose here. My cohort had a professor yell at 3 students during an exam because their laptops malfunctioned and then threatened to take 10 pts off their next exam if they couldn’t fix their computes. Especially for my advanced placement setting, the director for both placements has twisted the reports of my supervisors and has made it seem like I’m this horrible clinician and that “I’m not professional” in her words. Upon discussing it with my supervisors, I find out that terminology like that has never been used. My director fails to support me as a student and a clinician. To sum it up, professors and education are mediocre. As far as support, professionalism, and advocation for the student goes, MWU is not the place for you."

"It is up to you to succeed and make college worth the time and money. If you are active on campus and meet with your professors outside of class, you'll make more of the connections you need to find work in your field or recommendations for future academic applications."

"Midwestern offered great opportunities for individualized education; could request rotations, classes that you are interested in specifically. They offer an anatomy lab that isn't available in all health science programs."

"Prepared me very well to pass my certification boards as well as to work in the profession. The program was expensive, but overall, a good investment."

"Graduate school focusing on health sciences including Physician Assistant Studies, Physical Therapy, Doctorate of Osteopathic Medicine, and Pharmacology allows for collaboration between specialties and fosters learning. Small, intimate campus in a safe neighborhood close to Chicago. Excellent rotation opportunities."
