REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingI learn a lot because of the variety of students.
Breanna from Pensacola, FL
I am a proud student of TROY University’s Graduate School Programs offered both on campus and/or through eTroy BlackBoard technology. I have nothing but the utmost respect and appreciation of the kinds of opportunities my TROY University degree provides for me and my family.
Mark from Troy, AL
At Troy University, you can meet the whole world in one small campus. Troy also stands as one of the top schools in the Southeast according to reviews by sources such as Forbes Magazine and the Princeton Review. Here, you can receive a great education while expanding your horizon globally.
Derrick from Opelika, AL
The professors are very helpful, available, easy to reach and extremely knowledgeable. I couldn't be happier with them!
Karissa from Shaw A F B, SC
Troy University has a new saga!
Victoria from Fort Lewis, WA
Most of the classrooms have between 20-25 students to one teacher. The professors try to get to know the students, which makes the environment a little more casual.
Natalie from Birmingham, AL
Troy University Montgomery has the best teachers and professors who are willing to work with you and care about your success.
Pamela from Hope Hull, AL
Troy takes pride in the Academic Rigor that is created by creating perfect class sizes and professor/student relationships. The balance helps create a solid academic education and confidence in yourself!
