Instructors are always in touch and respond to all questions. The on-site classes have an excellent opportunity to exchange experience with other international students, communicate with the instructor personally, and there is also the opportunity to gain experience in conducting presentations for classmates. It is important to note that the University staff is very responsive, the atmosphere on campus is very friendly and sincere. In addition to the educational process, students are offered various activities. For example, tours to great and successful companies which is a good opportunity to see the process of working a business from the inside or going to museums. The University also offers activities such as outdoor games, running or hiking in the mountains and the ocean. San Diego is full of places to spend time. The University also has clubs. All these events bring students together and provide an excellent opportunity to make friends and share the experience and culture of their country. There is also a department at the University "Career Service" where students can get assistance in compiling resumes and job searches. Periodically, the University organizes various workshops for students on various topics. During my studying, I have never regretted choosing this particular university. It gives a fairly strong knowledge, the learning process makes you think outside the box. My program is MBA and I highly recommend Southern States University and this program!

This is probably the prettiest part of campus, with the reflecting glass and the nice waterfall and the triangular tip, making it a perfect spot to watch the sunset with another.

This is definitely a nice place to have class, but beware of the distance and the confusing NSEW (North, South, East, West) sets of elevators and stairs!

This is an excellent choice for anyone seeking a PMP certification. joe Dramassi is a great…read moreinstructor, very knowledgeable, and cares about the subject matter, and it shows during his teaching of the course. He gave excellent tips for passing the course and it set me up for success, and I was able to pass the exam on the first attempt, with "above target" in all 3 of the test knowledge areas. Joe is a great instructor and the course is worthwhile. After course completion, I recommend everyone utilize PMA's online practice tests and do as many as they can before they take the actual exam. The questions are hard but don't get discouraged. Take the practice tests and review any areas of weakness. My only recommendation is for PMA to find a way to go through more practice questions during the 4-day course. We went through questions but going through the questions with the instructor to understand why you got a question wrong is invaluable.

With John's guidance and his use of real-world experiences, I was able to take away what I needed to study and ultimately pass my exam. The info he provided was way better than studying on my own and reading from the PIMBOK book. At the end of the BootCamp, he provides us with what you need to review afterward to pass, which made planning much easier. If you are working towards your PMP, I highly recommend this course with Project Management Academy, you won't regret it!

I have no patience for the disorganized, and my interaction with UCSD's Staff Association led me to…read morebelieve they are disorganized, not in all respects, but at least in regard to their staff scholarships. I would give their events a much higher rating. I have had a great time at the staff picnic the past two years and the UCSD Idol competition is a great, fun idea. However, more important than the events, they offer staff scholarships to their members. The events coupled with the scholarships, I'd give them 5 stars easy, but my recent experience with them forces me to give them 2. I joined the UCSD Staff Association as a requirement to apply for a scholarship. The scholarship form clearly states: "The application deadline is Wednesday, June 27, 2008 at 4:30 p.m. Late applications will not be accepted." I called them the day before the deadline to see if I could drop off my application in person, instead of relying on campus mail. I was told the deadline had already passed - a month ago! I faxed my application, along with all required documents, and the documentation with the 06/27 deadline to them, and was told "Sorry, we cannot make any exceptions to the deadline. Somehow you found an older application online with the old deadline." Apparently, they recently changed the person who heads the scholarship program, and the form I was using was put out there by the old program officer. BUT I found the application on THEIR website! They should have taken it down, or made sure they changed the date on everything. I found two forms with the 06/27 deadline, and not one with the updated deadline! Regardless of the deadline, they SHOULD HAVE accepted my application, since it was their oversight. This scholarship is only offered once a year, and instead of making an exception, they said "You can always apply next year."

I just spent the last 2 years at this fine institution. IR/PS gets 5 stars for one simple reason:…read morethose 2 years have been two of the best years of my life (so far). Why? 1. I learned a lot. Before IR/PS, statistics were foreign to me and I had no idea what econometrics was. Now I (somewhat) know what a confidence interval is, and am familiar with regressions. Woo hoo. Thanks to IR/PS, I know what a public good is, and am familiar with the principal-agent relationship. Crucial stuff right? I should know what a debit/credit is, but frankly, the accounting professor sucks big time, so I still don't know what the hell that is all about. Oh well, nothing is perfect. 2. I partied a lot. Sure, I did a fair amount in undergrad, but i had plenty of opportunities to socialize while at IR/PS as well (just look at all the yelp reviews I've written the last 18 months to get an idea). I'll tell you this much: us grad students know how to drink and party as well as any undergrads. Well ok, definitely compared to UCSD undergrads. Hmm, yeah.. That only means we partied more than once a quarter. Just take my word for it- we found ways to have fun. At least those of us who didn't get caught up in the competitive bullshit. 3. The professors. They're all bright, most helpful, and many friendly. There are only a couple that I'd deem subpar (simply due to super boring lectures. one exception is aforementioned accounting professor, who wasn't boring, but sketchy as can be). 4. Last and most definitely not least: my classmates. The cool thing about this program is it attracts such a wide variety of people. You have us management people, who have a curriculum akin to a MBA program, the econ people who love quantitative crap apparently, and the non-profit people who are a lot more noble and optimistic than I am. Oh, and the politics and policy people. Not sure how to describe them (guess my generalizing skills are lacking tonight). Anyway, all these different groups are brought together at IR/PS. Result is an eclectic group of cool ass mofos. I can't think of any classmate who didn't have at least a couple interesting life stories. And I know I'm going to miss them all when i say adios to San Diego. Well besides the half that will end up in DC with me. So if you want to have an enriching two years and are interested in international relations, I strongly recommend going to IR/PS.

Fantastic graduate education for sure. Professors have impeccable academic and applied ("real…read moreworld") credentials. Very rigorous course load; 98 credits in 2 years, which is more than twice the load you'll get at GW's Elliot school and similar East Coast programs. In short you come out of the program with a superior skill set and knowledge base that puts you on par with any graduate from SEPA, SAIS or the Kennedy School. So why 4 instead of 5 stars? Over emphasis on the management aspect. Curriculum wise this is not a bad thing, however the majority of career services alumni connections are in the private/consulting sectors. I worry about IR/PS's ability to compete in the job market with the big name east coast schools in the realm of foreign policy, human rights, civil society, think tank work, etc. Name recognition. It's an unfortunate aspect to being located in SoCal, but the local invites good collaborations with Mex and Pacific based institutions (ie. US-Mex center, Center on Pacific Economies, etc.) A few things you should know: Quantitative heavy work load, if this turns you off (it shouldn't in this field) then look elsewhere. Language requirement is rather lax. Limited field work in the area (internships, volunteer work etc.) Alumni connections seem to be west coast oriented. So, go to this school if: You love the Pacific Rim, love quantitative work, want an exceptional degree, want to enjoy a diverse student body (interest wise/country of origin wise), love the So-Cal sun. Just don't expect a job to be waiting for you at the Council on Foreign Relations upon graduation...though you will have the necessary training.
