2015-2016 Graduates
Response to: What suggestions do you have for improving MSSU?
Add to master program and make it all available online
Advisors need to be more involved in their students major/career choice.
Assist with job placement.
Better communication at the financial aid/bursar/registrar level.
Continue and expand paramedic training and education
Found it difficult to get teaching degree because of MOGEA. Should have taken the PRAXIS instead of following advisor's instruction to wait three years. Just a poor
test.
Greater transparency on what the job market looks like for graduates. Full time advisors that solely work to connect soon to be graduates with employers. WhIle
also guiding students through education needs and how to accomplish their goals.
Have more overseas options for work
Help with job after graduating
I have a lot of suggestions. I just do not have the time to type them all down.
I would like to receive more information on the events that are open to alumni via email. I received a packet in the mail which was helpful, but I enjoy going to the
lectures on campus such as the themed semester lectures. I do plan on attending some of those, but if there are similar lectures, like the Gockle Symposium coming
up in the Spring, I want to be notified.
In the programs make every class available every semester.
It would have been nice to have more parking. But once I started my program I didn't have an issue because I was there before everyone else. But financial aid was
such a pain at MSSU.
More awareness of career services and perhaps incorporating internships as required to help break into jobs into fields of study.
More graduate programs
More involved academic advisors, empowerment of the students with information regarding enrollment and what classes are necessary, having a multitude of
times for events, not just 10-12.
More light on Medical Laboratory Science degree. More emphasis on chemistry
More on campus internships for students with no vehicles.
MSSU is the worst university I have ever had the misfortune of interacting with. My money and time was wasted by careless advising and shifting course availability
and even some hit or miss professor attendance. On more than one occasion my final grades were input to the system incorrectly and I had to call the professor out
on it personally to get the issue resolved. My tuition and fees were funneled to the worthless athletic departments and used to pay for my use of facilities or
services that I never had cause to use. Even for being relatively inexpensive, MSSU managed to waste the money I was paying to be educated on anything BUT that.
You would have to pay me a LOT of money to ever take courses there again and I will never recommend MSSU as a school worth attending. I suggest the
administration gets their priorities in a dramatically different order and fix some of those problems. Also, teach ADOBE INDESIGN TO GRAPHIC DESIGN STUDENTS.
It was a great experience.
Nothing good enough
Offer more graduate programs
Offer more masters programs!
Offer more online courses
Perhaps come up with a system to assist incoming students with figuring out what major they wish to seek. A large fraction of the students are undecided and/or
end up regretting their major. Having a program that evaluates incoming students' interests to facilitate their choice of major would be advantageous.
Should either offer c++, or do some kind of cool programming AI tournament. Maybe programming virtual bots that fight each other. The one with the most cases
wins!
Stop spending so much money on damn sports and start spending more on actual education. Stop spending money building fancy sports centers when other
building are being neglected. Stop spending money on fancy signs when it could be spent much better elsewhere.
The CIS program needs a more focused IT centric path, and in fact multiple subpaths... while understanding development is a worthy cause, it fails to address more
than 50% of the technology jobs available in the market. Having a set of professional emphases on networking, security, storage, windows server environments,
linux/unix/Solaris server environments, virtualization, and cloud infrastructure would do wonders for the employability of the graduates. These types of coursework
are the reason that sysadmin and non-software related tech engineering positions are going to trade school graduates (such as Crowder, OTC, and IT Tech.) MSSU
could lead the Healthcare and financial technology industries by offering course work that emphasizes infrastructure and security with focuses on regulatory
compliance in HIPAA, HITECH, PCIDSS, SOX, and SOC2 compliance bodies. In addition to that, with an IT emphasis rather than focusing so heavily on pure object
oriented programming languages, utilize scripting languages for devops and automation (powershell, bash, python, php, etc) Some additional thoughts on the
program that I went through - more business knowledge... both in a software development as well as more IT centric program... the number of people I work with
that have such a limited understanding of business is unreal... consider requiring a few business courses (basic accounting, business 101, customer service, and a six
sigma set would be wonderful.) And finally, as graduation approaches, especially for those entering the non-development IT career path, have each student set up
a meeting with their advisor, and if there are no plans, or are delayed plans for continuing education, design a self study program geared toward industry
certification paths, starting with COMPTIA and moving into specific fields (Microsoft certifications, cisco/juniper, Palo alto/checkpoint, SANS had amazing
certifications for offensive security, vmware, nimble storage, dell storage, emc storage, isc3's security and audit certifications are industry leading. Additionally start
partnering with industry related professional organizations (IT could benefit from the AITP, and security specific can benefit from ISACA.)
