Fitchburg State University

Attended the Annual Retired Teacher's Luncheon. Great to be with friends and chat about the good old days. It felt like going back home. 😊

I usually only write kind reviews (feel free to check my others). However, I am hoping to prevent other educators from wasting their time counting on this school to help them reach their post graduate goals. I have applied two separate times. The first time, I was informed that I could pursue a graduate degree in Middle School Science....after going through the motions...being accepted....that was redacted and I needed to focus on my original different path. I applied the second time for the concentration they approved. They were fully aware of my teaching situation and still accepted me and allowed me to begin signing up for courses.....I was then notified the week of classes that my current position would not satisfy the program requirements..... My graduate credits from another school were accepted....but not applied to any of the courses I needed to take... "Here is a dollar....but you cannot spend it in this store." I am endorsed by MA for SEI and provided those credentials....yet they were not certain if I needed to take it again? "You climbed the mountain, got the flag, but we are not certain if you need to climb our mountain to get the flag you already got...." I reached out to the professor teaching my online course. Classes started last week....and still no reply..... Now I am scrambling to find a program to join in order to finish my masters. Unbelievable.

My son will be attending Fitchburg State University in the fall and he is really looking forward to it. The campus is beautiful and the atmosphere is so positive and friendly. He felt right at home from the very first visit and he knew right away that this was the school for him.
