A school's overall score by level is based on the school's by-program performance weighted by student enrollment in each program.

I am a current student, and the Criminal Justice Department is GREAT!!! However, the Sociology Department is a mess. Required Courses are not offered online regularly (as claimed). I was forced to take major requirement courses by special arrangement or prolong my degree because no teachers taught it online (even though offered as a totally online degree)! They cost me more money because they can't keep their end of the deal and provide what they sell.
Westfield State University is a beautiful school and I will have great memories for the rest of my life. The classes sizes were the perfect. It easy to build relationships with faculty. When I was about to graduate they were making a lot of changes on campus to better the school. The only thing I did not like was the location.
