Samford University Top Questions

Samford is an academically rigourous school. The professors are very friendly, many of them take students out for lunch and invite whole classes to their houses for dinner.

The academics are great with professors who truly care. Professors know your name and you can talk to them about anything. They are very willing to help whenever needed and really reach out to their students oftentimes hosting them in their homes for meals. The small class size is really helpful and it allows you to get to know your peers and the professors. The academics are challenging. The education is job focused if that's what you're focused on. It's a very mission oriented school and so it depends where your heart is and your personal focus. Students are very academic at Samford and work hard. Students are pretty competitive but not in an extreme unhealthy way. Intellectual conversations out of class happen daily. I know all of my professors personally. My least favorite class is InfoSystems and Technology. Intermediate Microeconomics is my favorite probably since I'm an econ major. The Brock School of Business is acredited and is stellar. It is very challenging, encouraging, and advanced. There are many opportunities for students to get involved and they offer scholarships.

academics are good. classes are smaller and class participation is usually key in every class. there are groups at samford where people engage in the areas of study that they're interested in (model un, debate team, different honor societies, etc.)

Academics here at Samford is excellent. The classes are small and if you miss class your professor will definitely know. Samford students are definitely competitve which can be annoying at times. I think you see the competitive spirit more as you get into your major classes your junior and senior year. It seems like students study ALL the time! Pretty much, the majority of students take academics very seriously and intellectual conversations take place all the time outside of class. The academic requirements are challenging for me coming from an innner city public high school. It's not a cake walk by no means. Nursing is AMAZINg. The requirements are high, the work load is tough and the students are extremely competitve, but in the end it's all worth it. To get a degree from Samford means a lot to the people in this community and around this area.

The academics are really good, its great to get to know your professors because the classes are so small. Class participation is usually a must and we do a lot of presentations. I love that I can talk to my professors anytime. Students are very competitive about grades. In my major we are geared toward getting a job. Everything we learn is to gain more job skills. The thing that sucks about Samford's requirements is that you have to take communication arts, cultural perspectives and biblical perspectives. They are all really annoying freshman classes to take.

Strong too strict. Going to class every day, doing all your work, and studying often may not get you a B.

Professors know your name after the first week of class! they say hey to you on campus and i've even eaten at their house before, its awesome! Students studying varies on their major! We do have a absence policy and if you miss too many classes you can fail becaue of it, thats kind of a gay policy but it happens...trust me.

The business, nursing, and pharmacy programs are absolutely stellar.
