University of Saint Francis Reviews

"If you are a disabled student, University of Saint Francis is not a good place for you. It is extremely difficult to get reasonable accommodations -- extended time on tests or assignments, adaptive equipment, etc. -- from the university. The Office of Reasonable Accommodations is controlled by Academic Affairs, not Student Affairs. Your ableist instructor determines what disability accommodations you will receive. The quality of the online academic program is also disappointing -- your paying $1,500 a course for the privilege of watching 5 minute YouTube videos. There is almost no instruction, professor plagiarizing course material from other sources, dull chat rooms. Most of the instructors have other jobs -- they are grading your papers at 2 am and emailing you on the sly from their day job. There are better online graduate programs and more progressive universities than the University of Saint Francis. Don't waste your money here."

"I came in to the program as a associate degree nurse after I finish my bachelors of science in health arts from University St. Francis I really enjoyed the program it was an excellent program it was cost-effective and I was able to work two full-time jobs and continue with my education at the same time University St. Francis is a hidden gem an excellent school I love my experience there.I finish my bachelors of science Health arts in 2000 and finish my masters Science and health services administration in 2004 learned a lot and enjoyed my experience. And also I was able to graduate with no debt."

"The University of Saint Francis is an excellent small Catholic University in Fort Wayne. USF is steeped in the Catholic tradition of service to others and respecting the dignity of all creation. USF has excellent professors who have graduated from some of the nation's top schools. USF has state of the art classrooms with a 14 to one student professor ratio which allowed us extra time with the professors in the event that we needed extra instruction. I really enjoyed obtaining my Bachelor's in Psychology, and my Master's in Mental Health Counseling from USF because I was able to work while attending classes. USF also offered multiple opportunities for grants, scholarships, and other forms of financial aid for students that were need and/or merit based. USF prepared me to pass my licensure exam, and I truly believe that USF has prepared me for the next step of my school career as a Doctoral student at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh. Thank you for reading my essay, and thank you for the opportunity to continue my education with less debt."

"Problem based learning is an excellent way to learn. Our class size is very small and the staff and professors are very approachable. Fort Wayne isn't my favorite place, but its only two and a half years!"

"The Physician Assistant career is a great one and, if you are a very hard worker, in the end it doesn't really matter where you go to school. However, I would NOT recommend the St Francis program. The satellite campus in Albuquerque, NM is treated like dirt compared to the main campus in Joliet, IL. The building here is rundown and in a dangerous part of town. The administration is disorganized and uncaring. It is ridiculously expensive and there is very little student support. I will make it out in the end and find a job, but it was a rocky road with a lot of wasted opportunity for quality healthcare training. Sorry for the bad review, but it is the truth."

"The University of St. Francis's FNP program has and is a wonderful experience. The instructors have all been very understanding to the adult learner needs of work and family and the sometimes unexpected life obsticle. The on-line environement has really been fun and the people in the financial aid office have made applying for student loans a no-hassel experience. I am truly fortunate to be a part of the USF and their FNP program. I wouldn't want to have it any other way."

"University of Saint Francis offers an excellent learning in a small private setting."

"I am returning to Saint Francis as a Grad student. Saint Francis has absolutely outstanding facilities and faculty."
