Student/Alumnus Reviews of Schools for This Career and State

Sort Reviews By:

Texas Woman's University • Denton, TX
Studying MBA (completion in 2005)

• 5/7/2011

"Overall, I am happy with my choice. I feel that I learned the skills necessary to preform well at my current job. Also, for the price, I fell that the school met my needs."

Ratings are on a 1-10 scale

CharacteristicRatingComment
Would Recommend?yesYes, the teachers have great backgrounds and are always willing to help. Also, as above, the price of attendance is fair when compared with other institutions.
Program Reputation6I would guess my former school is a little above average considering how many schools offer MBA's now. Also, I am not sure if I believe in online MBA's.
Program Quality8The program covered many different topics and areas. We preformed individual internships and that is how I got in contact with my current company.
InstructionMore than 5 years agoN/A - I attended more than 5 years ago.
How Difficult9Overall the courses required outside work, research, and group work. Many of the instructors had extensive business, marketing, or management backgrounds.
Hands-On vs. BookishWe used some of both. This varied from teacher to teacher.
Schedule Flexibility5Some classes were offered several times during the year, but others were only offered once. I did not like classes that were ONLY offered during the weekends. I lived close enough to take night classes.
Academic Facilities8Professors were easy to talk to and were quick to reply via email. We have a large research database (newspapers, journals, etc.) and computer resources.
Social Life5TWU is not a large D1 school. It is more of a mid-sized school. TWU has female athletics, a few social events, and the younger students have a great deal of school spirit.
Placement Services7Through internships we had opportunities to improve our job skills. Also, our professors had lists of potential employers that met our interests.
Alumni Network5I sometimes get emails with school updates. I get annoyed when they only call asking for money.

Southern Methodist University • Dallas, TX
Studying Advertising (completion in 1996)

• 7/23/2011

"I was satisfied with my school; however, there are always areas that can be improved. Any of those areas I would have encouraged my school to improve on they are already working on; therefore, I have nothing but good things to say on their behalf."

Ratings are on a 1-10 scale

CharacteristicRatingComment
Would Recommend?yesYes, but I would encourage students to do as many internships that they can in order to get a well rounded experience. It will be the best training you can get outside of the classroom.
Program Reputation7My school is a solid school. Their focus on preparing you for the outside world is exceptional. My school's reputation is always in good standing except when they got into some trouble back in the 80s for football (ha ha ha).
Program Quality8My school was good at preparing me for entering the workforce. I would say that sales is something that is best learned by hands on experience and by watching others perform.
Instruction5My school did not prepare me too much for sales, but they did establish a good work ethic and foundation for working in the field. Sales can be learned by books, but those books typically are not used in the classroom.
How Difficult8My program of study was difficult in its demands, but I would by no means compare it to some of the harder programs. I would say that the attention to detail was very important in the educational process.
Hands-On vs. BookishMy school has the resources to provide students with hands-on work in nearly every educational scenario. I know that they have made great efforts to provide both book learning and hands-on work, especially with the new construction and programs abroad.
Schedule Flexibility8Class availability was exceptional. Classes were available anytime I needed them including weekends, summer, nights, split days, etc.
Academic Facilities10My school has made great improvements since I left in 1996. I know their programs have only improved. Since landing the Bush library they have increased construction on libraries and classrooms.
Social Life10My school ranked higher in athletics a few decades ago, but it has done a really good job over the past ten years bringing some of that school spirit back. Between the school, fraternities and sororities, there are plenty of social events and parties that students can attend.
Placement Services8The job placement and career services are centralized in their own environment. They do interact with the school when necessary, but remain separate for the most part. This is important when aiding individuals with breaking away from the university level to the real world workplace.
Alumni Network9The alumni network for my school is very good; however, since I have not experienced other alumni networks, it is tough to draw knowledgeable comparisons. I have seen my alumni network do things that others do not do and other networks doing things I wish my alumni network would do. My network does strive to improve their methods and contacts so I can only sing their praise.

University Of Phoenix • Dallas, TX
Studying Health Care (completion in 2012)

• 9/6/2011

"I am very satisfied with my educational experience at the University of Phoenix. I am impressed with the challenge and level of organization."

Ratings are on a 1-10 scale

CharacteristicRatingComment
Would Recommend?yesI gave the University of Phoenix a great rating because it is an awesome university. It is always great to attend a college that will challenge you to be your best and give you great resources in return to exceed expectations.
Program Reputation8The University of Phoenix has a great reputation in the general community. They also have a good reputation in the health care industry which is why I chose to attend.
Program Quality8I love what the University of Phoenix offers to its students. The health care program is top notch and I have learned a lot about the industry.
Instruction8The instruction is excellent. The Professors challenge students regularly.
How Difficult8The field of study is not an easy one. The health care industry provides quite a complex field of study, however, the University of Phoenix does a great job of providing resources to assist its students in meeting the challenge.
Hands-On vs. BookishThe University of Phoenix is very hands on. The instructor is available everyday and we are required as students to communicate with each other weekly.
Schedule Flexibility9The option to attend class at a flexible time is great online. Students can attend at anytime of day, however, it is usually smart to login everyday as an online student.
Academic Facilities9The academic facility is awesome and so is the library and resources. One of the reasons I also chose the University of Phoenix is because of their outstanding resources online.
Social Life3Because the University of Phoenix is an online campus, I am not aware of any activities scheduled for students. It would be nice to have additional activities as options for students.
Placement Services5I am not aware of any placement issues at the University of Phoenix. I have not had to utilize this service.
Alumni Network8The alumni is pretty active at the University of Phoenix. The support staff is usually available throughout the day.

West Texas A&M University • Canyon, TX
Studying General Studies (completion in 2006)

• 9/13/2011

"I am very happy with my school. I always recommend this school to others."

Ratings are on a 1-10 scale

CharacteristicRatingComment
Would Recommend?yesI always recommend this school, no matter what career is being pursued. I was extremely satisfied with this school.
Program Reputation5I ended my school career with a General Studies Degree. There is never a good reputation behind General Studies Degrees.
Program Quality9WTAMU is a very good school. The smaller classrooms made it much easier to learn.
Instruction8I studied in two different fields before graduating with my BGS. I still feel I could work in those other fields because of the knowledge I gained.
How Difficult8My first three years were in Sports Medicine. It was a very difficult and in depth field of study.
Hands-On vs. BookishVery good balance between the two. Some courses are too hands on and some are too book oriented, but overall, it was very balanced.
Schedule Flexibility10There were all kinds of available options.
Academic Facilities9Very good technology was available. All facilities needed were available and were very nice.
Social Life9Sports are very important at WTAMU. There is always something going on that brings students together.
Alumni Network8I am not participating in the Alumni Association. The school does have a very good Alumni program, though.

Abilene Christian University • Abilene, TX
Studying Business (completion in 2010)

• 9/14/2011

"I can't give it a 9 because there are a few things I would change, but at the end of the day the structure of the school really freed me. Now when something is hard, it seems so easy because of the way I was taught. They gave us the uphill climb so life could be a downward ride."

Ratings are on a 1-10 scale

CharacteristicRatingComment
Would Recommend?yesMy school isn't the problem, the economic situation of the country is. If I had used all the tools the school gave me, such as job placement, I wouldn't be a store manager, I would work in a firm in Dallas. From the moment you leave the doors of our college you are truly on your own. So make the most of what you have been given.
Program Reputation10Abilene Christian has an amazing business program that almost funds itself. It is amazing to see a small school, mean so much.
Program Quality10My school was amazing, it was one of the best business programs in the country. My school even set up a group just for female business majors like myself. Most universities don't give that type of support.
Instruction10I know how to run a business. I came in off the street and turned sales around 100 percent. My school actually prepared me for the real world and I thank them for that.
How Difficult6It was easier than medical school, which I am in now, but harder than other programs. When I look back I think that wasn't hard, just time consuming.
Hands-On vs. BookishI could have not purchased books once we became an Apple school. Students all had iPhones, iPads, Macs. Everything became about using Apple products to get the jobs done. We went from occasional use of books to answering quiz questions on your phone.
Schedule Flexibility4While there are a few night classes, ACU is a private school. They have a lot of rules and regulations that make it hard to work and go to school, because more is required of you. They want to make sure you are an all around Christian, and flexibility is one of the things you loose.
Academic Facilities9The business building was new and breathtaking. It featured elevators, ramps, dining area, it was like a city within a school. You never had to leave, there was even rooms just for prayer. Tutors and groups meet there on a regular basis. It was easy to jump into a study group - just show up and wait.
Social Life8As a private school there were no parties but I must say I didn't miss them. They had all these social events, chapel, Sunday day and night service, games, night bible study, really everything else but with a Godly spin.
Placement Services5I honestly don't know. I am from Alabama and I moved back. There are options to be placed in jobs in Dallas and San Antonio but I felt Alabama is where I needed to be at this time in my life.
Alumni Network10I already knew a number of our alumni by the time I graduated. I actually took a break from school for a year, and in that time other alumni had written to me and invited me to reunions. It is amazing to see them all so passionate about our school, though it is easy to see why.

University Of North Texas • Denton, TX
Studying Applied Arts And Science (completion in 2009)

• 9/27/2011

"They gave me a degree which allowed me to start my career. There is always room for improvement. I just think the whole education system is flawed."

Ratings are on a 1-10 scale

CharacteristicRatingComment
Would Recommend?maybeNo school really teaches someone how to sell. They also do not teach the qualities of a positive attitude as a management style. You just have to get a degree and get to work to learn.
Program Reputation5People would interview me because I have a degree. When I see a resume with a degree, I do not research the quality, I just make sure there is a degree.
Program Quality5I was in school for seven years with no direction. I just took the first degree I had enough credits to get out of school with.
Instruction4I had to take many classes that do not relate to a sales professional. Very little guidance to help point me in any direction. I do not think college prepares students for work - so what if you know a few key terms, this does not mean anything when you go to work. There are few classes that have role playing as you do with training when you go to work.
How Difficult4I had very little trouble learning the bare minimum, which is all you have to do to get a degree. No professors really challenged me to do more.
Hands-On vs. BookishI did not have much hands on training. It was primarily book training. A lot of key term memorization.
Schedule Flexibility2There were certain classes I had to take to graduate that were only offered one semester a year. This forced me to take a few random classes while waiting.
Academic Facilities3There was a lack of awareness set forth to anything that was out there. I did not know or want to know of any additional help as I maintained good grades.
Social Life3School spirit was very poor. There were too many want-to-be hippies and no good athletic program to get behind.
Placement Services5There were some job fairs on campus and postings to a job board website. Nothing beyond that, and I am just assuming that is average, as I have nothing else to compare it to. It really did not seem that anyone at the university went above and beyond to help.
Alumni Network5There are meetings to go to and people to meet. Few people attend, and when they have an event, it is put on by the football booster club, who is trying to sell season tickets.

University Of North Texas • Denton, TX
Studying Biology/Biochemistry (completion in 1992)

• 10/23/2011

"I loved the whole college experience and felt well prepared. I would have enjoyed staying there for graduate work."

Ratings are on a 1-10 scale

CharacteristicRatingComment
Would Recommend?yesEven though my degree was in a different subject, I felt the education was sound. I have used many of the skill sets and discipline I learned in college in my career.
Program Reputation9UNT has always had a good reputation for Biology and the sciences. They normally have joint lab ventures with other major universities.
Program Quality10UNT has a great Science program. I learned a lot about genetic engineering and could have gone on in that career field as well.
Instruction10I worked in the labs and got real experience to use later. If I hadn't gotten married and started a family I would have pursued this career further.
How Difficult8The hard sciences are very difficult and time consuming with all the lab requirements. Few other degree programs are as time consuming or difficult.
Hands-On vs. BookishAs a biology major it had to be hands on with all the lab work we did. Working in the labs made it even more so.
Schedule Flexibility7UNT has always had a large commuter base from Dallas. They accommodate many different types of students.
Academic Facilities9I never had any problems with the facilities. Of course, I graduated a long time ago.
Social Life9I had a great time in college. On campus activities were varied and a lot of fun.
Placement ServicesI've never used these services so I don't have any real opinion. I am sure they are adequate.
Alumni NetworkI don't know much about them as I am not involved in alumni activities. I live several states away now.

University Of Houston - Main Campus • Houston, TX
Studying Kinesiology - Specialization In Sports Administration (completion in 2007)

• 11/9/2011

"There are great options of universities in and around Houston. If I had to do it all over again, I would make the same decision. University of Houston has helped mold my life and set me on a path to live my dreams, and I'm eternally grateful."

Ratings are on a 1-10 scale

CharacteristicRatingComment
Would Recommend?yesI already have! I have 2 cousins currently enrolled there, who just wanted to follow in my footsteps. It's so rewarding to see people look up to you and want to find the same success as you do.
Program Reputation9The College of Education at UH has always had a great turnout! I know that in my degree plan, we had a huge graduating class. New generations of Cougars come and have continued to make the program a success!
Program Quality10UH has an amazing Kinesiology program, with 3 different degree tracks that you can choose from. It was amazing for me!
Instruction10I have to say that the quality of the information that I learned was above standard. Many of my professors have been at UH for 10+ years and their knowledge was unsurpassed. I still remember a great amount of what I learned; even getting on my husband's nerves when I watch a football game and say what the injury might be!
How Difficult8The degree track that I chose was challenging, because I had to learn 2 sides of the degree. I had to learn about how to treat and assess injuries to the body (functions, parts, etc.) and I had to learn the administration side. It was tough sometimes, but it was so worth it.
Hands-On vs. BookishI would say that the majority would sway more towards hands-on. A lot of the time, the professors would make their own pamphlets to give out, because they didn't like the textbook assigned to the course! Most of the information that we received from the textbook was just for reference. That was something that I appreciated. It made me feel that the professors felt that they had a better way of explaining it, and that made me feel that they cared.
Schedule Flexibility10I am pretty sure that I could've completed my degree much faster, had I taken advantage of the night and summer classes that were available. With the University of Houston system being so large, spanning several campuses across the city, the options are endless! I even took online classes within my degree plan!
Academic Facilities10One thing that I LOVED about UH was the amount of facilities and services they extended to you. Each class that had some level of difficulty either had a teacher's assistant who was available for tutoring, or had our professor set aside time in their office for one-on-one time. The libraries were upgraded since I was there, and there were awesome study rooms equipped with microwaves and Wi-Fi available all day. They worked hard to ensure that we were successful, and it has paid off for me.
Social Life10UH is a sports-driven school!!! Game days for football were the talk of the day! I worked in the sports department, so being sociable was easy. A lot of red and white is worn every day. It was just a great atmosphere year round! I miss it to this day.
Placement Services7I can't really give a true rating, because I've never utilized the services. However, when I was on campus needing work, they set me up with my work-study jobs, and it helped me pay for books that I needed in that time. I'm sure that it's amazing, just because of their ability to help me rather quickly.
Alumni Network7The alumni base as UH is exceptional! I have not used this broad base to my advantage as of yet, but I'm definitely looking forward to it in the future. Many of the alumni still support sports, so I'm sure that when I do make a career change, I can use it to help myself!

Program Reputation5I believe the program is one of the better ones in the nation. I'm not positive on that, though.
Program Quality7There were great, supportive professors. They had my back.
Instruction9I was entered into a great internship. It has made settling into my current job easy.
How Difficult6I'm a fairly smart individual, so it wasn't too difficult. I did, however, have a hard time with certain things.
Hands-On vs. BookishIt was very close to 50/50. It seemed like we alternated between the 2 most days.
Schedule Flexibility10It was very flexible. I could do almost anything with my schedule.
Academic Facilities6The libraries weren't always open at the best times. There were, however, great labs and always good study groups to sign up for.
Social Life9The social experience was excellent. Great spirit, great athletics.
Placement Services10I was placed in a great internship senior year. This made getting a job the next year very easy.
Alumni Network5I wish this would've been better. I didn't see much support.

Would Recommend?yesI would recommend it. I'm sure the same education could be granted in other places, but it works.
Program Reputation5I'm not aware of any reputation they might have when it comes to this degree. They are more known for agriculture.
Program Quality10My degree program gave me a good basis for this career. It's important to understand the mechanics behind business when you're in a position which allows you to build business.
Instruction6I was well equipped for the job I am doing. I feel as if all of the core information was necessary.
How Difficult5I spent quite a lot of time in the industry before taking these courses. A lot of it came naturally, due to experience.
Hands-On vs. BookishThe only hands-on learning we had was when I put my hands on pens and paper. Everything was research.
Schedule Flexibility5I had no problem with scheduling classes. I don't know of any conflicts.
Academic Facilities10We paid a lot for our education, due to the improvements they made in the facilities and resources. Not bad at all.
Social LifeI didn't participate in social events.
Placement Services1No assistance granted whatsoever. My hard work is how I got my job.
Alumni Network1I'm more likely to get requests asking me to donate money than offers to help me out in my career now. No career assistance was granted.

CharacteristicRatingComment
Would Recommend?yesIt was one of the best experiences of my life. I grew up and found myself in college, and I learned a lot. The classroom environment is great and built to ensure learning. I would recommend this school to anyone!
Program Reputation7They still maintain a similar staff and faculty at the school today. They have a core set of values and they stick to them. They expect excellence in the classroom, and that will never change. The school has built a strong reputation, and people respect them and their programs.
Program Quality9I enjoyed school and am currently working on my master's through another school. My educational experience helped me to be more successful. I had caring teachers and they made sure we learned the curriculum.
Instruction8They made sure in school that we knew our curriculum. I also have received thorough trainings throughout several jobs that have helped tremendously with my current position.
How Difficult7I have never been one to excel at school, and it was a challenge for me to carry my workload. It took a lot of discipline and hard work, and it finally paid off in the end. It not only made me a better student, but has helped me to be a better employee.
Hands-On vs. BookishThere was a mix of both, but it was more bookwork. There was a lot of information to learn, and while they included hands-on activities, there was a high expectation to be in your books and know your material.
Schedule Flexibility9I never had a problem with scheduling and was always able to set a schedule that was flexible. They offered multiple class times, and the rotation of classes was well laid out to ensure timely graduation. Our degree plan was reviewed constantly to make sure we were on track.
Academic Facilities8We had our own department and separate building with the tools and resources we needed. There was also a large library on campus with adequate information to complete any assignment. Teachers were readily available and online sources were made available to us when needed.
Social Life10The school was huge on social events and sporting events. They wanted campus life to be fun, and they provided plenty of opportunities for everyone. Activities were diverse as to include everyone. I worked in student activities and know that this is part of what makes the school so good.
Placement Services2It is almost nonexistent. There is a career services office, but I was never able to get help. I was given a few brochures and wished the best of luck. Resume writing and other professional skills were left up to me to develop and figure out.
Alumni Network3I hardly know anything about it and have had limited contact with the school since graduation. I know others that I have gone to school with feel the same. Upon graduation, it wasn't a priority to them, it seems, to connect us to alumni services.
