Student reviews

Professors

Current Student

I am currently attending Springfield College and I am enrolled in the MSW weekend program. The program offers a generalist social work approach allowing students to gain an understanding in various aspects and populations. The program options are amazing and offers options for students with an understanding that people have lives and schedules and the program and school tried to be accommodating and understanding.

Student

Springfield College's occupational therapy program is a great program where hands on experiences are prioritized for students. I really enjoyed all of the community based activities we were assigned. The program also has a strong focus on knowing how to research.

Student

I am currently a junior in a six-year Physician Assistant program. Springfield College is an excellent college with a great Physician Assistant program. It also has many other majors at the BA level. The campus is very nice with excellent facility. The staff and Professors are very professional and helpful.

Student

My program, in particular, emphasizes this by holding class every other weekend, rather than every week. In addition, Springfield offers opportunities to students to earn an income throughout the school year. These opportunities are not presented often but, if you are able to, its a great way to get involved on campus and earn extra income.

Student

The program here is wonderful. The professors are all caring, supportive, and helpful and really know their specialty. The content of the classes and internships are relevant and will give you a strong foundation for your career in social work. My experience in this program was one that I will never forget and one that I use in my work as an adult outpatient therapist everyday.

Student

Springfield College has suited me well throughout my first year of graduate studies. The professors are very supportive and helpful in regards to instruction as well as course work. The school operates on an advanced-generalist approach will allows students to find their own area of expertise.

Campus and vibes

Current Student

Springfield College has been a great experience so far, being able to play a sport is a beneficial way to make friends as well. The community is a very tight nit community with there only being a couple thousand students on campus. I think that playing a sport or being interested in sports is almost a requirement unless you are in a specialist program that you are passionate about.

Student

Springfield College is a great, small, private school that prides itself on developing the whole person in spirit, mind and body through leadership and service to others. There are many rigorous and rewarding programs to major in including athletic training, occupational therapy, physical therapy, physical education and physician assistant.

Student

I had a great college graduate and undergraduate experience. It was a very supportive forward thinking environment that had a lot of field work.
