I've had some amazing professors as well as some terrible ones. My major, entrepreneurship is great here, great program, great professors. Education at Central, at least for my major, is definitely geared towards getting a job, as I've learned so much practical information and how it will apply in the work world.

The teachers are all very approachable and willing to help. Classes are challenging. The study abroad program is really good. Scholarships and guidance are given to any student that wants to study abroad. There are always students studying around campus, in the library or in the coffee shops. The graduation advisors and undergraduate services are excellent in helping you figure out your classes and requirements.

I have had a positive experience with almost all my professors here at CMU. They do a good job of knowing students by name. Like I said before as I am also guilty of not studying as much as I could. This is because of the laid back attitude of the entire town certainly not professors fault. The most unique and enjoyable class I had was racial justice through law. My major is sport studies and based out of the health professions building its quite similar to sport management. I have no problem going to professors for help on work. education here is geared towards learning, broadening ones horizon and rounding ones personality.

I feel that the academics are not an accurate transition from high school to college. I know many people, myself included, have had a difficult transition to college classes.

Academics at CMU are up and down. Some professors are amazing while some are awful. Some professors care about how you do and some don't think twice about you as a student. For the most part though, I have had a good academic experience at CMU.

The class sizes have been good, you can get to know your professor and likewise for them. The professors need to fess up when we do not need a book for their class though. I'm sick of hearing that I need a book, and we never touch it. I'm not made of money, I'll own roughly 50K when I'm done.

Kaitlin

The smaller class sizes are a much better learning environment.

Barry

Professors need to learn more about the students but not point them out so much.

Brett

The most unique class that I have taken at CMU is Racial Justice through Law. I was really surprised that a class that sounds so boring could actually be extremely interesting. It was a class where we went over different court cases in regards to racial discrimination and issues in America over the course of history.
