REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingUTA has one of the best Nursing programs in the state of Texas and the nation as well.
Allison from Burleson, TX
UTA is filled with world-class professors, many of whom are more interested in your learning the material, than in (metaphorically) hitting you over the head with their gradebook. Many of my senior-level communication classes are taught using the same theories, but not to be redundant, rather to help students see how the parts connect. If you aren't a math major and tend to not do well in the subject, you should consider taking Rachel Goodwin (very bright, extremely good in math, and a patient graduate student, loved by all).
Sandra from Arlington, TX
This school is definitely not some blow-off school. Sure there's many events to enjoy, but when it comes to the academics, its taken seriously. Each class requires much effort, but one can actually learn and apply to real-life situations, versus just reading about it in a book in order to pass a class.
Kristina from Grand Prairie, TX
This school makes me work so much harder than I ever did in high school, and thats a good thing. Working at this level allows me to get a feel for how hard I'm going to have to work in the real world after I graduate from here.
Anthony from Plano, TX
Yes this school has some very knowledgable professors, if you have to take General Psychology or History 1 I would highly recommend Dr.Cox and Dr.Cole both excellent professors. But there are some professors who will simply waste your time and do not know how to teach. Not to even mention in a two hundred student class room a bad teacher could mean the difference between an A or a C. So I highly advise using ratemyprofessors.com it will help you avoid some very bad professors and help you discover some very good ones. I was not aware of this website when I first applied and really wish I had known about it especially for my bio class.
Samantha from Plano, TX
I'm a transfer. My degree will be in Film/Video/Screenwriting here at UTA. Talking with the department advisers & professors I've learned a lot already. Profs are well knowledged and have years of professional experience in the industry. I'm expecting to learn much!
Alexander from Texarkana, TX
UTA offers these courses where you will learn different study tips. They also offer many study aides like tutoring, writing and math clinic, and many more other things.
Cindy from Arlington, TX
It's only been months that I've attended here and it's improving my academic knowledge so well. I'm a college freshman majoring in Nursing. Due to the fact that I'm a freshman and still new, I'm able to meet lots of great friends and know lots of great professors here.
Diem-Phuc from Dallas, TX
I'm really being pushed to my full potential here; I never leave a class without having learned something new.
Cassandra from Weatherford, TX
Here at UTA, everyday you are learning about your intended field, curriculum that interests you since you chose that class, or cultural competence.
