I am currently a Junior in the Department of Education. My major is Elementary Education. With this major you will never be fully prepared for things you will encounter in the field, but the professors here help you understand the main things you will encounter. They help by keeping you up to date with curriculum, whats being asked of teachers now, and by giving you numerous resources you will use in your pre-lab experiences and in your career.
The great thing about this school is that the class size is small and your professors get to know you and are there anytime you have questions.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Pittsburg is a smaller town, and campus isn't too big. I see people I know or recognize from classes and it is easy to make friendships. Living in the dorms gives you the best experience to meet people and make lasting friendships. Its a home away from home.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Pitt State is more affordable than most colleges and it is worth it. Student loans are something that follows students forever. It helps knowing that the experience is worth what you are paying.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
When looking at colleges and taking tours, think about how you would feel making that walk every day. I went on two tours including Pitt State and I knew when I saw Pitt that it was more for me than the other. When you do decide on a school, no matter where it is, make sure that you fill out housing and other applications right when you get them and mail them back to ensure that you get what you want. Don't pick a school solely on where your friends are attending, the distance from home, where your boyfriend/girlfriend is attending, or what school has the best party scene. Focus on what you want to get out of school considering you will be paying for it, also focus on what your major is and what the best school would be for that degree.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Pittsburg is a great school for students who like the small town atmosphere, likes small class sizes, and seeing familiar faces around campus. From what I have noticed over the time I've been here is that most students are either accounting, education, construction management, automotive, or technology majors and they all seem to love their program.
