Mel

Curriculum at par with the best in business. Advantage of 16 month full time MBA program. Cost advantage with a great value for money. Class participation is excellent with students from diverse backgrounds. Professors are excellent and come with industry perspective and foster a healthy discussion.

There exist many different class sizes. Typically, the higher up in education as you go, the smaller the class size and the better a professor is able to make sure everyone is learning. In the lower-level classes, usually it's a professor lecturing, but as you progress, the more the students have the confidence to participate, so it only gets better.

Project management, Global Business, Information enabled supply chains, Negotiation and dispute resolution are some of the best and unique courses I have taken so far. In most of the classes we usually use case studies and do group projects and that creates a wonderful environment across the campus for intellectual discussion. One more thing I like about UTD is its tuition fess structure. We have four year fixed tuition plan and that helps us to manage our funds. Career center support us in very effective manner and help us to get a internship and Full time jobs.

Excellent school for academic achievement. The professors are very knowledgeable, the staff is friendly, and the students work together towards a common goal. There is a high level of professionalism maintained at all levels. One of the things that stands out is how the school's programs encourage a hands-on approach as opposed to the traditional in-theory only.Many of the classes focus on real life situations and case assessments to enhance student's abilities. If you're into research and innovation - this is the school for you!

The learning environment established by our professors stresses classroom participation and results in some lively, motivating verbal exchanges. I am in the MS AIM program and find the students to be highly competitive; everyone wants an "A." That competitiveness drives us all to work harder, learn more and achieve better grades. I credit UTD's stringent entry requirements for the high quality of the students with whom I come in contact.

Professors know your name if you come to class and participate! Class participation is very common, what I loved was that if you did not understand something, you could just ask in class, if you still did not understand, you could go to thier office during office hours and the Professor would help you! I did not have one professor that was a jerk, think about that! Not one. I had many classes with group projects where you were graded both as a group and as an individual; this is good becuase if there is a slacker, they get found out. Students are competive, but with themselves, I would describe them as more cooperative with each other. The education at UTD is geared toward getting a job and being good at it once you are out there!
