Canisius College

Canisius is one of my alma mater’s, as I graduated a few months ago. That being said, yes, other people are correct about their $$ issues. However, this has not directly impacted students as of yet. Approved classes being offered are dwindling, but each department has their strengths and weaknesses. I had no issue getting courses to complete my Communication and Business degree due to some finagling with my department chairs. If I did not have that relationship, I would not have been able to fulfill both my degree paths.
In addition, I was a transfer student, and it was not completely explained to me that I would have to take 2 religion, and 2 philosophy courses on top of fulfilling all of the capstones. That information should be communicated far better than it was, as I am still writhing because that cost me an additional $ 20K. I guess that is why the gentleman that put my transfer package together is no longer with Canisius.
Overall, most of my professors were stellar; specifically Dr. Dahlberg, Dr. Braunscheidel, and Dr, Haselswerdt. As well, I loved all of my courses with Prof. Nancy Lynch, Prof. Rick English, and Dr. Foster.
Having those amazing educators/​professors on staff saved me from transferring again after an initial disappointing semester with a few adjuncts and tenured staff.
I can only speak with ethos to the Communication, Business & Political Science Department, but if you are thinking of attending Canisius in one of those concentrations, do it. As well, the Athletic teams are stellar. I even did crew for a bit, but found I did not have the time to dedicate to it. So, if you are thinking of attending Canisius for athletics. Definitely do as well.
As well, take Business Ethics PHI242 (it fulfills a business & philosophy requirement, but also the ethics attribute) with Dr. Sean Donaghue-​Johnston (he is an adjunct, but let me tell you, and amazing one). He’s absolutely fantastic, you’ll learn a lot, and expand your mind a bit, which never actually hurts :)
I’ve taken one star off for the transfer process, and the $ issues, but feel I received a stellar education due to the folks I mentioned above. Go Griffs!

Went here for my Master’s degree and was incredibly disappointed in the program. It was in the business department and I did not feel like I received anywhere near my money’s worth.

My alma matter but the school is nothing like it was. The president has the reputation of being a tyrant. They are having serious money problems. Go elsewhere. They have no clue how to manage this school and the budget cuts are destroying it.

This is my alma mater! What more can I say. Go Canisius!
