University of Denver Reviews

"Overall, poor program with low quality faculty and resources. Courses not taught by respectable PhDs. Not a good learning environment, inexperienced faculty in policy, and costly with low return. Poorly run and managed program. Better schools to choose."

"Fantastic school with a ton of support and resources for every student. They WANT you to succeed here."

"I am an international student, so my experience does not reflect that of a US citizen. The Josef Korbel school is a fantastic school. Its professors, instructors, and admin staff are all of an incredibly high quality. The best piece of advice I can give is that I would chose this school again given the choice. The main cons of the school for me have been: its location vis-a-vis networking (Denver is great but it cannot compete with schools on the East coast for proximity to organizations); career advice for international students is less useful than for domestic students (that is likely always the case); and, although a thesis option is offered, it seems neither well thought out nor well supported. This said, my experience working with professors/instructors has been overwhelming positive.Read Less"

"The pros of my program are really the professors and various campus groups. Through my involvement with student groups, I learned some of my most valuable lessons and made lasting relaitonships. The biggest weakness in my program is that it was not as academically challenging as I would have liked. I came from a very rigorous undergraduate and expected to be challenged here to the same extent that I was there. In some ways I was challenged to improve my quality of work (better sources, more condensed writing, etc.). But, overall, I will leave feeling like there is still so much more I wanted to learn and did not.Read Less"

"The program is very useful and provides interesting courses that are relevant to my career goals."

"I love this school. It's a great atmosphere and pushes you to be better."
