- Administrative Staff: The exact number of administrative staff at Middle Georgia State University is not provided in the sources. However, based on the information given, it appears to be a significant number, but without specific counts, it is difficult to give an exact figure. Therefore, I can only provide an approximate range based on the departments listed: - Admissions and Recruitment: At least 15 staff members (including various roles like Operations Manager, Admissions Assistants, etc.). - Office of the President: At least 7 staff members (including Special Assistants, Presidents, etc.). - Registrar: At least 12 staff members (including Transfer Credit Coordinators, University Registrars, etc.). - Facilities Administration: At least 15 staff members (including Campus Managers, Facilities Directors, and administrative specialists). Given these numbers, it is reasonable to estimate that Middle Georgia State University has at least 50 administrative staff members across all campuses. However, this is a rough estimate and the actual number could be higher or lower. **Approximate Range: 50-100**

Excellent school. Anyone willing to put in the effort may receive an exceptional education. Most of the Business School's professors are PhDs, passionate about teaching, and are individuals of high integrity.
Work closely with your Academic Advisor and the CCLD (Center for Career & Leadership Development) for the greatest success.

This school is one of progress. I feel a sense of reassuring determination now that I belong to the MGA family.

I just transferred to this school a semester ago and I am a million times happier here. I love how Middle Georgia works with different students' lifestyles to give them classes that best works for them.

There are some gems here! I have had amazing professors that are excited and passionate about their classes. Like all schools, there will be a few here and there that don't quite get it but overall much more good than bad.

Every semester I have attended so far has been enjoyable. I have made a few friends in almost every one of my classes.

I picked this college for convenience and ended up discovering a career! When I started this was just a small to campus college and now it is a sprawling 4 campuses and has become a university. I graduate soon and plan to go to graduate school here following graduation. Great teachers, location, and majors offered!

Only great thing about MGSC is the price on tuition. Library is small and something is wrong with computers all the time and usually students can't even print what they want to print there are only 2 printers. And top all these school do not care whether or not you are happy in school or become successful. They changed my class in the last minute.

This school is absolutely horrific. The staff treats you like garbage. They never take you seriously. It seems as though no one there likes there job. The classes that you need for your degree, are always unavailable. The food is horrible. There is absolutely nothing to do at this school. I believe it was created more so for GAMES students.......
Overall 1.2
The worst and most unprofessional school I have ever been too. I have never seen a school function with this level of disorganization and it's honestly a miracle they are still around. It is clearly obvious that a large majority of students and staff could care less about this place and I will never step foot on that campus again. SAVE YOUR MONEY!!
Overall 1.2
I do not recommend people coming here, the credit system is messed up, the professors aren't the best, nothing to do, they treat you like kids but expect you to be grown up.
Overall 1.3
Awful excuse of a "college." Faculty are hit or miss, but I have had nothing but bad experiences with the administration and office staff. I've had unnecessary holds on my account, my records have been messed up, they don't always accept payments during regular office hours, and the staff have no clue what they are talking about.
Overall 1.3
The employees have no idea what they are doing. You can go to five different people and they all tell you a different thing. Class availability is terrible. They never have enough classes and expect you to commute to another campus forty five minutes away. The school is all about the money and do not care about the students and their needs.
Overall 1.4
Worst school ever! There is no engagement in clubs and some staff and faculty are rude and not very helpful. Students and faculty make students feel unaccepted here and everyone, in general, is unkind.

I left the Cochran campus for the Macon campus, but honestly I'm just over this whole institution. I am transferring after Fall 2016 and I cannot be any happier. I wouldn't recommend this school to my worst enemy. I can't pledge a specific sorority here, nor play a certain sport, and there is NO debate team, not worthy my money. Can't wait to leave
Overall 1.5
Neither the Cochran or Eastman is that great. It's cheap and you get what you paired for.
If you care about your overall well-being this isn't the place.
Isolating and segregated.
Not worth living on campus. I will just finish it online.
Overall 1.5
A community college that has great support staff and mostly terrible teachers. I'm a Macon local and dual enrolled in high school and wanted to attend ANYWHERE but MGA, unfortunately ended up back here and the courses are so much more difficult than at the nicer school I transferred from. It's mostly terrible with tiny specks of hope.
