Wonderful school

I recommend ACU to many people! It is a good school and has a wonderful faculty with a size that is ideal. The colleges of Education and Business as well as pre-med are considered the best in their fields! I have been in contact with many students since many of my family have attended. I have been impressed with the Bible Department as well as the football team! They generally have a heart for their students and want to help!

Bachelor of Arts in Biology

School recommended by Cynthia on June 16, 2008

Review Rated Helpful

The one thing I liked best about Abilene Christian University was the professors were always there to help you if you needed any help. The professors were always making sure you understood what they were teaching you before moving on to another subject.

The only thing I didn't like about Abilene Christian University was everyone, no matter what degree they were going to college for, had to take a Bible course because it was required. The Biology courses I took did help me in my future career, especially the ones that pertained to animals and nature.

BA in Art

Abilene Christian University was an amazing experience for me. The instructors are excellent, the art program is fantastic, and the campus is exciting. I can't say anything negative about this school. I was more than prepared for graduate school.

Overall: great school!

Great university for teaching and preparing students for the world outside of the ACU bubble. Innovative and cutting edge. ACU faculty are extremely accessible and helpful, something not to be found at a state school. The education was great and prepares students for graduate school. A bit expensive.

The only downside was the focus on "social clubs". These clubs were similar to frats/sororities only much more obnoxious and celebrated. ACU could really do its social image a favor by ignoring these clubs. The clubs however, perform in the spring Sing Song event bringing lots of money to the school. Therefore, ACU will continue to promote social clubs because they bring money into the university.

Overall: great school!

Master of Education (MEd) Online Program

School recommended by Andrea on May 19, 2008

Challanging! If anyone thinks an online degree is something you can skate through, do not attend Abilene Christian! You are challanged from day one by prefessional instructors that look for constant feedback. This is accomplished via online chats, virtual classroom, email and even conference calls if you have internet phone. Students had a virtual "union" and could post on message boards to discuss various topics. My path to get beyond the classroom has taken a major step forward. I enjoy the coinfidence my education has provided.
