University of North Carolina at Pembroke Rankings by Salary Score™

I will for sure be transferring to another school next semester! My experience since starting this school has been horrible! To start, with the application process, I was told either unofficial transcripts or official transcripts would work. Then they came back and told me I needed to send official! Why not just say that during application?! I paid for 2 sets of transcripts (4 colleges). THEN they lost one of my transcripts (the most expensive one!) which was sent electronically! How do you lose an electronic... Read More transcript. It took them 3 weeks to find it! When they finally found it, and after having a meeting with some type of director, she told me I would not have to do Gen Ed classes because I have an AA, Transfer degree. So as I start registering for my classes, I notice I am getting a kickback telling me I need to complete gen ed math and gen ed english. I reach out to this director person and she told me I was getting that error because of a "system update". Well I finally had a meeting with my advisor, who they gave me no information on, I had to reach out to them and get my advisor's information. She told me I was getting the Gen Ed kickback because they put my degree in as an Associated in Applied Arts! I'm like "no that is so off!!" I clearly have an Associates in Arts, Transfer. She called them and they fixed it, but they completely lied to me about some "system error"! The icing on the cake is my refund. They shorted me my refund a few thousand dollars! When I finally figured out what was going on, I learned they refunded me for the wrong semester! They refunded me for 23-24 summer session 2. I should have been refunded for summer session 1 which is 22-23. And not add, most of the people who answer the phone are RUDE!! I have never attended a school receiving service as rude as I have received here! I will forsure be taking my education elsewhere! There is a swift reason why there is a 92% acceptance rate but only 42% graduate. And the graduation rate includes maters, BA and certificate programs. They also disabled their google reviews for a good reason. I would NOT recommend this school to ANYBODY!!

Pro: The application process was simple and smooth. All of the Grad School personnel and SW faculty were kind and helpful throughout my graduate experience. This MSW program is a Generalist program. Therefore if you are a student who is undecided about your concentration then this program is for you. They do have a School SW, Substance Abuse, and Child Welfare track. They also have a licensure prep study group for SW students that's FREE! The curriculum is taught from a rural perspective that prepares SW to... Read More work with rural populations. The professors are knowledgeable and kind, but there are some who could be better. UNCP is also has a strong Native American base but is still pretty diverse. Overall, I enjoyed my graduate program (advanced standing) and made some great connections with the professors and classmates. This program is also one that is very affordable than some of the other MSW programs in NC. The 2nd semester was challenging but doable. Professors recommend that you not work full-time while completing the MSW program full-time. It is challenging but doable. Cons: They don't have a lot of resources or scholarships for minorities (African-Americans). Honestly, they really don't have a lot of scholarships at all, but the faculty are writing grants to win some money for SW program scholarships. This is a Native American school, so a lot of resources available for them. The second semester was bit much regarding workload. However, it was doable. There is one professor who teaches a class that MSW students need to graduate and he is the only one who teaches it. He is not a great professor, he's not good about providing clarification on assignments and his assignments make no sense. The course itself is not hard, but you will be teaching yourself the material. He also gives a lot of unnecessary busy work.
