Ursuline College Top Questions

Before coming to Ursuline I was a business major, and finished my bachelors in Marketing and Management at Ursuline.

Honestly, I wish I had known how great their UCAP (Ursuline College Accelerated Program) program was. I spent a few years hopping from school to school trying to find something that felt right.

But I am excited about this because I know that this will help me in the future.

I wish that I would have known more about the academic, social, and other extracurricular activities; as well as the ways in which to connect better with these organizations.

I wish I would have known, how bad the circumstances really were, in regards to the nursing educator shortage. I had never given it a serious thought, that the educators who had taught me during my first college term, would leave the profession, only to be replaced by online courses, due to the fact that there were no physical teachers available to hold classes. If I had known it was this bad, allowing for so many unprofessional nurses to be turned out into today's society, I'd have returned sooner. Anyone can memorize online facts, but what about compassion? '

I sometimes wish I knew which teachers were more knowledgable on their subjects. I would like to be able to compare them to other teachers teaching the same subject. Knowing this information would help me get the most out of my education because I would be able to pick the best qualified teacher.
