Here at MAC it is hard to walk through campus without a faculty member calling out to you by name. You will quickly form close relationships with your professors and they genuinely care about your success. Many students form study groups outside of class and are very welcoming to other students joining. The medical-related labs here are very high-tech and realistic. Each professor is required to have office hours, in which you are welcome to stop by for extra help or just to talk. MAC has very high standards for the students academically, yet very few students are unable to meet these requirements, because there are so many ways to get extra help.

This school is looked at as a great school to employers (this is what I am told). I think this is becasue we are given a lot more hands on exprience than some places. Take my major for instance, which is Medical Imaging. We spend just as much time in a clinical setting as we do learning in a classroom. By the time we finish school we are able to do the job the way an employer wants us to. The same goes for the other medical fields. As for the rest of the acadmics at this college, they are also very hands on and most professors are willing to do the extra work it takes to help a student fully understand the material being taught.

Professors know everyone by on a first name basis. This campus is actively involved in making sure attendance is a part of the grade. Participation is also sometimes accounted for as well. Studying outside the classroom is common among students on campus. The library allows for interactive studying among groups and allows for professors to also meet with students other than office hours. My major is Pre-Physician Assistant. Most of my studies are concentrated in the Biology department. This school has high academic requirements, but they do not try to make anyone fail. Help is always offered in any subject. For the future, I hope this education furthers me into graduate school to earn my final degree and get into the real world job force.

I feel the academics at our school are very good. Being that we have small class sizes the professors know us by name and take a genuine interest in our success. They are always available for help when it is needed. I think the variety of classes that are offered here not only prepare us for getting a job, they make us a more well rounded person. Students that are serious towards their academics put in the time that is necessary to succeed while others who neglect their studies have to deal with the consequences. If students ever have any trouble in their classes there are lots of resources to utilize that will help them with their problems.

The academics at our school is great. Being a Pre-Physical Therapy major, the majority of my classes are sciences, and the majority of the professors have obtained their doctorate degree in that subject. The professors are more than willing to spend time outside of class reviewing materials with you or helping when there isn't much understanding. The school also offers tutoring by staff and students that are free to students outside of the teacher, so it helps students do their best.

I know all of my professors names and some what of what thy like to do outside of school. on my floor of the dorm it's actually kind of quiet everyone is always in there room studying or just hanging out, but i know that peopl are busy because in the lunch line or in class you can hear about all the different things that they are doing. the education here isn't just about learning the professors actually want to help you toward your goal. They care about you.

The academics are prime. We have small classes and all your professors know you by name. By the end of every semester you have a new favorite professor and they usually become a friend you can go to when you need them on campus. We are very competitive students and we have intellecutaul conversations outside of class usually in the lounge areas around campus. My major is Psychology with a specification in Forensic Investigation and a minor in Criminology.

The class sizes are small and the professors get to know you by name really quickly. Studying depends on your major and how well you want to do (just like at any other school). Students are competitive inside the classroom, but still great friends outside the classroom.

The academics at Mount Aloysius are very good because the class sizes are very small and this allows your professor to know you by name and get to work with you one on one. Another great thing is that the professors always have there office doors open and encourage you to go see them if you are having trouble with anything.

Most professors are on a first name basis with their students. Also, our president Dr. Tom Foley and his family can be seen at nearly every althetic event and any big activities on campus and loves to converse with students. Most of the majors hold a high standard for their academics, but the professors will bend over bckwards to help out any student in need. Peer and professional tutors are available at no cost to the students. We take academics seriously, but we have so many options in order to help anyone who may be struggling.
