All of the professors I have had since I have started here have known my name. The president of the college, Dr. Tom Foley, actually sat in a ceramics course I was enrolled in and now he as well knows my name. My favorite class is one of my Criminology courses. Since I am a senior this year, my classes are very centralized and small. The biggest class I am in probably has 25 people in it. The education at this school is geared toward obtaining the knowledge to be in the real world and succeed. We have a 97{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} job placement rate here. To be on the Dean's list here, one must obtain a 3.5 or higher, which I have done every semester since starting college. A 3.8 or higher is needed to become a member of the Honor Society, which is by invitation only. I am also a member of that society. Students in my department always have intellectual conversations about the criminal justice field. Class participation is a must for achieving understanding and making the most of the course.

Our school does a great thing by teaching in a clinical and classroom setting. With small class sizes, it's easy to have a one on one connection with professors while learning new concepts in the classroom and then simulating in the lab what you've learned. Our professors are highly trained and knowledgeable in all aspects of their field. They are willing to help all hours of the day until you master the concepts learned in class. My favorite classes are lab classes. In the lab, we actually simulate exactly what we will be doing in clinical and can practice all we want. As hands on learner, I've found this to be the greatest advantage of our college.

The classes and professors are awesome here at the school. The professors want to see you succeed and do your best in all of your classes. We are a small campus, so all the professors get to know you on a first name basis. The classes challenged you to be the best you can be, and to learn as much as you can. I am an Information Technology major and I get to work in all aspects of the major. I have the ability to program and work on hardware. I love this major and the opportunities I am given with it.

The academics at my school are definitely top notch. Each of my professors knows my name and are focused on seeing their students do well. My favorite classes are anatomy and psychology. Both of the teachers make their classes fun while being an effective teacher. They can relate their lessons to life because they contribute stories and examples. All of my classes are challenging but the teachers design them that way to make the students engaged in thir learning and able to retain the information being taught. In each of my classes participation is also common. Everyone asks questions and becomes a part of the lesson. Outside of the classroom I constantly see people studying or going to the library to work on papers and projects. Many go above and beyond to get the "A" in their classes.

This is definitely the most positive thing about this school. If you are going to college to get a degree(which is the point) than this is a good school to look into. The class sizes are small and intimate ranging from 15-25 students in a given class. The professors know your name by week 2 and by the end of the semester you have already been able to talk to your professor one on one for individual help in a class, made study partners because you have a lot of students who are in multiple classes with you, and even gotten a peer tutor to help you stay on track. The classes here aren't easy. I know that as a biology major studying happens every night for me and that the degree i earn here will be well looked upon.
Things like class participations are encouraged in every class and each class brings a different aspect of learning. This is not a school that you can just blow on through, it takes hard work and effort.

The class sizes are small once you get into your discipline which means that your professors are going to know who you are along with your strengths and weaknesses. They get to know you and then are able to help you strengthen your weaknesses and are able to help you get internships based on your strengths. The professors are extremely knowledgeable and even if there is something that they are unsure of, they will work with you to find the answers to your questions. The fact that your teachers really know you and really help you, enables you to succeed in almost anything you want to do.

Mount Aloysius is a study-intensive school. The college strives to make sure that each individual student gets the well-rounded education they came for. Class sizes are small, making it easy to learn. Everyone knows your name. The professors are always available to help anyone who may need it. Professors see who is trying and who isn't, they all want their students to succeed in everything they do. Our college offers a wide range of majors. Along with quite a few minors and master's programs. Everyone is sure to find a major they want to pursue at MAC, and once a student becomes enrolled at the college, they are on their way to success.

All my professors know my name and are willing to answer any questions I have. Like all schools it is necessary to study for the classes, but the students that study on a regular basis are always well prepared for tests. Class participation is very common here on campus. The small class sizes help to make even the most shy person comfortable participating in class. Many discussions about classes take place at the lunch and dinner tables. The tutoring program on campus is great. There are professional tutors with drop in hours at no cost to anyone who uses their services. There are also many peer tutors. i'm in the biology program, and by half way through my freshman fall semester I know all the professors in the department. The staff here are very focused on learning for its own sake, but make sure that learning will make you highly qualified for your dream job.

The classes here at Mount Aloysius are definitely challenging, but at the same time, easy to obtain help to enable you to succeed. The free tutoring is a great feature because a student can schedule a peer or professional tutor 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} FREE and get the help they need to do well in the class.
Professors at MAC definitely know your name. The class sizes are so small that they pretty much have to which is a good thing. Professors are also very concerned in student advancement and want to see us succeed. They are very easy to contact for help or simple clarification of a topic and are happy to help.

Mount has an excelent nursing 2+2 program which allows you to work as you finish your bachelor's degree. The professors get to know you personally due to all the time they spend with students in the classroom, at clinical sites, and at tutoring. It's nice that as a freshamn I was able to have patients to know if this major was for me and it definitely is!
