Tarleton State University Reviews

"The college culture is surprisingly friendly and open. There are a lot of student activities to do on and off campus. Although Tarleton State is/was a bit isolated, the deep friendships you create make up for not having that much around. The instructors in my program however, were a joke! There were some instructors that couldn't answer a basic question and there is an upper Spanish class you have to take in order to graduate about poetry from the 1500s. Firstly, no one can read or understand what is even being said, secondly, that Spanish is not the same Spanish we're learning, thirdly, who can write fifteen page papers on poems with five lines, and fourthly, how is doing any of that supposed to help me improve my Spanish? That class was needless and needlessly hard! When I went in there, there was a girl who was taking that class for the first time, that should've told me all I needed to know. That was the first and only class I ever failed and when I took it again, that girl was on her fourth round. I am a huge nerd and really enjoy school; but I hated that class so much I dropped my second major just so I could graduate.Read Less"

"Tarleton is a great university. The moment you step on the campus you feel at home. The teachers and staff are very helpful and accommodating. The science department contains some of the brightest minds and they are willing to share that with their students."

"Tarleton was great to work with, and the advisors helped me every step of the way. I have witnessed many universities not speak to future student unless they are already student of that particular university. Tarleton is opposite, I was looking at transferring and they sat down with me and treated me as though I was already a student. They gave me a degree plan and helped me so the I could accomplish my dreams."

"I completed everything online but it was great."

"I enjoy the time spent in Tarleton State University. I am pleased with my degree and do encourage future college students to go to Tarleton State University. It is a very friendly University and there are one to one counseling with financial aid and degree options."

"Great kinesiology program. The professors are selfless and super helpful. They really get you ready for the real world."

"Loved the online courses. The majority of the teachers seemed to have taken the time to come up with engaging and thoughtful assingments, rather than just busy work."

"It was a very nice small college town atmosphere and faculty friendly."

"Tarleton State University provided me with world class education and a sense of belonging. The criminal justice masters program is one of the best in the state. The program is taught by actual professionals who have actually been in the criminal justice field. The program provides excellent insight to current issues and how to better one's self in the field."

"Tarleton is the premier university for a student focused education. My degree was nothing short of that. I had the chance to work in state of the arc facilities including a dairy, horticulture center and a farm. I have seen first hand how hands-on education is the best type of education. It is proving itself right now as an agriculture educator. The professors at Tarleton are the BEST. They are there for you no matter the circumstances and provide a sense of home in our college. I have never met a professor I did not like or learn from. Tarleton produces the best agriculture science teachers in the state of Texas and beyond. If you want to teach agriculture, do not look anywhere else. Tarleton State University is your place.Read Less"

"Tarelton State University was so integral in continuing my education. I went back to school to get my Masters degree in Curriculum and Instruction and the classes had an indepth knowledge of the subject that made me feel comfortable in all aspects of my career. I was easy to integrate my learning and apply what I knew to my current teaching career as well as carry it on into the future."

"Tarleton State Univeristy's online program allows for flexibility but maintains rigorous standards that ensure students will graduate prepared."

"The MBA program at Tarleton seems to be unconcerned with student success, and is mostly focused on pumping as many students through the system as possible. Very little assistance from professors, the program has odd rules that you are not informed off, and they pump up their online class fees so that it makes the program much more expensive than advertised. The program administrators are generally unwilling to work with students on issues. The classes could have been taught without the professors, as all the assignments involved reading a chapter and completing a chapter quiz (all out of the book). Very frustrating to deal with, especially considering it is 2-3X the cost of an purely online program, without any additional benefits.Read Less"

"The programs at Tarleton are unmatched in terms of faculty involvement in the education, progress and careers of their students. They genuinely care about and love the material they're teaching and the students they're teaching it to! The coursework in my program is designed to amplify understanding without overloading with "busy work". I would recommend this program to anyone!"

"Tarleton is an amazing college. The professes they're really care about your future and your career and your next move in life. I had the honor of working with some of the best scholars in the industry as far as professors are concerned I really really really recommend the school if you want to get a BBA"

"Tarleton is wonderful campus! Everybody is friendly, tons of clubs and activities, and you can get to do hands-on work in labs or one-on-one with instructors for help."

"The online program with Tarleton State University has been a great experience overall. I do feel that online programs still have a ways to go when it comes to making sure that all students receive the support that they need, and I believe that to be the biggest con when it comes to this program. The biggest pro is the effectiveness of the program and the learning software that has been provided, it is easy to navigate and kept up to par as far as updates."

"Tarleton State University is an amazing school for both undergrad and grads. The faculty is amazingly supportive and aware of current situations that all students could potentially be going through and work with them to succeed. I am still enrolled and working on my Master's, but expect to finish soon. I am so glad that I picked this university to obtain my degree. :)"

"Tarleton State University offers an excellent masters program in mathematics with an emphasis in data mining. Though the campus is small and 2 hours from Dallas, the quality of instructors and availability of funding is excellent."

"The pros of the school are that it is convenient for me to attend a graduate program so close to home and within a reasonable distance from my home and job. The professors have been great and provide a great chance for me to succeed. If there was ever an issue that I felt the need to visit with one of them they are always willing to listen and help if warranted. Some of the major cons that I have notice include excessive work with online classes. Being that I am a full time worker and drive a great distance there is not a lot of time to complete the "busy work" that the online professors want to be completed weekly. Also, the classes that I need for my degree are not available every semester so it stretches out my graduation completion.Read Less"
