Chemistry Department Rocks!

There are few enough students in the chem department that you really get to know the professors on a much more personal level. The professors also help you with any study questions, help with research opportunities and help with applying to grad schools. The new science building is state-of-the-art and has new equipment and amazing labs. The workload is challenging but good at the same time and gets you ready for grad school.

Ok So Far

the professors are always there on time, but not many students shows up to class. Some professors i feel that they do not devote their time to be there for the students. Some of the classes are self paced.

Kristin Vint Academics Review

I think the academics at Metro State are great. I take online courses because I am a single parent and work full time. I can make time on my time to learn and I feel like I learn a lot. The deadlines and course requirements are a lot, but that's expected in college and if they weren't, I'd question how much I was really learning.
