Student/Alumnus Reviews of Schools for This Career and State
University Of Oklahoma • Norman, OK
Studying Information Studies (completion in 2004)
• 1/18/2012
"I have very fond memories of the program. The professors were very understanding. Students worked well together in groups."
Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | yes | The world is becoming more and more technical. There will always be a need for developers. You can specialize in web applications, phone development, or even PC development. It all stems from the same place. |
| Program Reputation | I have no idea of its reputation. I had a job before I finished the program. The job fair that I attended at the time was filled with employers who did not know what the program was about. | |
| Program Quality | 8 | The Information Studies program is more directed towards project managers, and is "light" on programming courses. The over all range of course work is good for rounding out an education. |
| Instruction | 7 | Theory and practice are two separate things, so academia usually leaves a gap in preparing students. The school tries to bridge that gap with the Senior Capstone experience. |
| How Difficult | 8 | For highly technical people, the program is not too tough. For non-technical people, the program will be a challenge. It is technically driven, and students should understand that. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | Some of the lower-level courses were more book-oriented. The upper level courses tended to be more "hands on." | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 10 | All class times were available. Online classes are available, as well as a combination of classroom options. |
| Academic Facilities | 8 | They have a computer lab that was brand new when I was there. The library is one of the best in the region. |
| Social Life | 8 | University life at O.U. was always fun. There were so many opportunities to be social, you could do something new every night of the week for months. |
| Placement Services | 3 | The school never placed me, but career services are available. There were many resources, but being such a new program hindered the opportunities. |
| Alumni Network | 5 | The alumni network is there, but I do not participate. They have a website that is kept up to date. |
Review your current or past school and help others make better career decisions.
