Never let anyone convince you there is anything second rate about this small Georgia state University! The faculty in the English department was fantastic in 2011 when I graduated. The professors where enthusiastic about helping the students, and there was so much more to be learned from all the individual one on one attention I received. The class sizes were small and the professors available, unlike the famous name brand Institute of Technology where I got my BSEE. There is so much competition for professorships that they hire really good people. At Armstrong you actually get to learn from the professors; they grade their own assignments, and teach in small classes. I'm sorry to say there was dismal administrative services, which is the reason for 4 stars rather than 5.
Great faculty and staff. Family like environment. Good for all students.
I have been in the "process" of applying to Armstrong now for nearly TWO months. I got all my transcripts in to the admissions office, turned in all of the extra worksheets for financial aid, and applied to the college to take SUMMER classes. I thought I was good to go. I was waiting for someone from the registrar's office to call me so I could register for classes. For 20 days I waited for someone to call. I decided 20 days was too long and I called them. Come to find out I needed another transcript that I had not put on my application because I hadn't attended the college in 12 years and knew none of the credits would transfer. They knew I needed this transcript and never called or emailed me to let me know about it. I called today because I had the transcript PDF file transferred directly to them two days ago and was calling to check the status as of now. They still haven't looked at it yet. I am no closer to being able to register for SUMMER classes than I was over a month ago when I turned what I thought was everything in. I am so disappointed in Armstrong for the way they treat new students. Shame on you.
So this review goes out to the College of Health Professions. Recently my wife has been trying to go back to school to get her degree. I won't say what but it is involved in the department of Diagnostic and Therapeutic Sciences field. This past year has been torture on her. Not because the classes are difficult but because the administration is deplorable, lazy, unprofessional, and educationally lacking. One "Professor" in particular is teaching my wife's class without a degree in the topic. How can you "teach" CT to future technologists and not be certified to operate a CT machine?????? This is just the beginning, because not only is this McGee teaching a course she is unqualified to teach, but she is also telling her students that she's only in it to pay for her "Beamer." That is disgusting. It's no wonder that the healthcare field is suffering when the teaching institution in Savannah is relying on unqualified "professors" and emphasizing monetary gain over patient first practices. Finally when this was brought up before the administration of the Department they closed rank and dropped my wife's complaint, along with her grade. It infuriates me that Armstrong, and McGee in particular, is allowed to continue this bastardization of the noble pursuit of health professions.
Great professors for the most part. Watch out for financial aid and admissions. If you are not the type to fight for what you need, consider somewhere else
