Texas A&M University - College Station Reviews

"This program will give you a great idea of what lies ahead as an educational leader. It will give you the tools you need to be prepared for the move from your classroom to running a school. Overall this program has been great. I have had the ability to network with other professionals who will be valuable contacts in the future. It has also allowed me to meet many district administrators from district and others."

"The program offers excellent faculty, challenging courses, and is recognized as among the top programs in the country. I will be a better leader and administrator as a result of my studies. The only negative is not really related to the school/program, but rather that the state of Texas does not allow tuition waivers for university employees."

"A&M is more known for its STEM courses, but I found a great niche in the liberal arts college, studying English. I initially chose A&M simply for price & location (not too far from home, but far enough) but quickly fell in love with the unprecedented school spirit & enthusiasm. My professors were excellent teachers & I can't say enough great things about this school."

"I absolutely love the fact that it is all done through an online distance learning program. It allows you to still be able to handle work and continuing your education."

"I think the field of veterinary medicine is an amazing one. I feel our society is in need of future veterinarians to replace the ones retiring every year. Pets are such a huge part of our everyday lives and doctors trained in caring for these animals are essential. However, in today's economy, the average income of a veterinarian compared to the high cost of education greatly differs. I think this is a major struggle for myself as we'll as others in the veterinary program."

"Great professors, lack of guidance/direction for out-of-stater or newcomer"

"This program is very well structured to get the best out of its Agribusiness students. Various topics allowing each student to learn critical thinking skills in real world situations."

"I believe that Mays does a wonderful job of giving us the best classes to apply to our futures. The most impressive thing about Mays Business School is the help they provide in finding a job once you are done with school. The only problem can be workload for certain classes that don't feel as necessary to others. Also, a lot of professors are difficult to understand due to a lot of foreign professors coming in order to do research."

"There are few professors that really seem to care about the students. The politics behind how the program runs are insane and often unfairly effects the students. However, if a student is motivated to learn, the resources are there. The social life in College Station is almost nonexistent so do not apply if you expect an exciting social atmosphere. However, College Station is very cheap in comparison to other university towns."

"The Master's Program in Health Education at Texas A & M University in College Station is a rigorous program that adequately and effectively prepares graduate students for real world application and health education and promotion in the community. The online program allows for convenience and self paced preparation. The faculty and staff are very helpful and attentive throughout the academic process. The availability of scholarships is few and most financial assistance is offered through student loans.Read Less"

"While I am familiar with the College Station area, it should be noted that I am an online exclusive student so many of the above mentioned questions are based off knowledge from friends who have attended. Very rigorous courses(particularly in the summer), and great faculty!"

"I think this program is extremely unique in that the professors are invested in how well you do. They want to see you succeed, and the program still maintains its competitiveness among other colleges. The program also does a great job of really bonding the class as a whole, so you already have a support system built in on the first day of classes. The professors and faculty are all willing to work with you and help you become as successful as you can be, and they are willing to go the extra mile to help you find a job after graduation. The atmosphere is exactly what you would expect from Texas A&M University - warm, friendly, competitive, and helpful. We truly are like a family.Read Less"

"Texas A&M is a great place to get your graduate degree because of the family like atmosphere that they create. The Civil Engineering program is rather small and so there is a very personal feel about the education. The only cons are that it is such a large school with so many professors doing so many things that sometimes it feels like you can get lost in the crowd if you don't set yourself apart somehow."

"The diversity of students is a pro of the program. The complete online structure is a challenge of the program."

"Pro's: good, hands-on education. pertinent to the environmental field Con's: location -- Kingsville is not a big city and doesn't have a lot to do."

"I'm a student in the Bush School of Government and Public Service at A&M. The level of the faculty and staff is outstanding, and each is distinguished in their field. The career and leadership program staff are fantastic, and the faculty go out of their way to help you find internships and jobs, too. The only negative comment I could possibly make about the Bush School is that outside the typical research assistant slots, there aren't a lot of financial aid opportunities."

"Pros-Great, friendly people. Supportive Staff Cons-not much to do"

"Great program. Best for network. Better for fresh undergrad graduates as this is what the program is designed for and the culture has been. But returning students will benefit from the program as I am atypical at 28 yrs old."

"I am a new graduate student at Texas A&M University. I like the university very much so far. The only thing is that tuition fees are high, and there is a little chance to get financial aid."

"The pros of this graduate program are: flexibility, modern, relevant, challenging courses, experienced professors, and a technology department that is eager to help. Access to information online is incredible. I highly recommend the online program."
