Quinnipiac University Top Questions

The professors are very caring and you can have a personal relationship with them. class sizes are generally small, less than 20 students.

Most of my professors know my name. My favorite class is media history and my least favorite is QU. Students study at their own leisure therefore i dont know. Yes, class participation is common. Some have intellectual conversations outside of class, others dont. Students are relatively competitive. I haven't taken any unique classes, really. My major is media studies and the department is great. Ive loved all my professors, and the classes are extremely interesting. I do not really spend time with my professors outside of class. The academic requirements are fair except for QU seminars which are unneeded. The education at Quinnipiac is geared toward learning, and in some departments, like health sciences, getting a job.

Class participation is very common. The class sizes are small so this type of open dialog is encouraged.

All professors that I have now know me by my name and face. My favorite class is my English class even though it has nothing to do with my major. My professor is just so intelligent and makes English actually fun and writing papers bearable because we get to write about what we want. My least favorite class is art history because it has nothing to do with my major and is SO boring. Quinnipiac students are actually a lot smarter than I thought, many spend a great deal of time in the library and there is definitely grade competition. My major is Physician Assistant but many people have not heard of it because they hear so much about the Physical Therapy program. The PA program is actually a lot more rigorous and difficult to get into rather than the PT program. There are only 18 people in my class as opposed to the 60 in the PT program.

I think Quinnipiac students really take advantage of the classes they are interested in. The main complaint are the QU classes that we are forced to take and "dont benefit us" in the long run. I have yet to find a good teacher however. Alot of my professors just dont get personal enough with students and dont take advantage of the small student to teacher ratio. My least favorite class was English. I got a C both semesters which is unlikely for me because I was always good at English. The courses just did not make sense and should not have been what an English class is all about. My least favorite teacher I have ever had in my life was Professor Kaplan for English.

Class participation in my classes is huge. My classes aren't too large--I have no lectures, and I have classes ranging from the size of 8 students to 30 students. My major is Finance, and all of the finance professors that I've had so far seem to be very helpful.

The academics here are fantastic. We have a great reputation especially with the school of health science. However, it is so hard to get the help that you need in your major unless you have all the time in the world to go to the learning center. Class participation is a must for my major, and my class is very close. There are 24 of us and we are great friends. Students are crazy competitive, the PT students are nuts! The most unique class I have taken is concepts of personality and I loved it! I spend time with my professors when meeting with them or at clinicals. I think that QU's requirements are a little over the top; we're not an IVY League school and I think that they forget that.

As a Public Relations major, I find that most of my classes provide the students with great experience and tools to use when they get out into the real world

I am a Public Relations major and my classes are awesome! Each teacher I have taken within the communications department have been caring and also very understanding. One professor has even offered to get me great connections with internships, which potentially lead to a job after I leave Quinnipiac.
