Ratings & reviews
I took Social Policy w Dr Gyourko in Fall 2025. Highly recommend...would 100% take a class with him again. Gyourko is one of the most engaging professors I've ever had @ JMU. Cares about student well being. Makes a point to discuss the practical applications of class content. Lecture slides are straight up excellent - truly above & beyond. Does a great job making class content as accessible (& as valuable for students) as possible.
