The University of Texas at Arlington

UTA RN-BSN is a great program! Easy to complete, very doable even working full time and having two kids. Courses are online and very reasonable workload. Price for program is as advertised, $8995 tuition and is what I paid. Of course I knew and understood about additional costs of books, so add about $100 for each class book and theres always the option of renting the book for a fraction of the cost. Other reviews state that UTA is misleading with prices which I do not believe so, but if you are... Read More in the RN to BSN program it means you are an RN already and you should have done the necessary research on this program. To wrap it up, great program, finished it in 9 months with all As, while working full time and not letting up on my father and husband duties. Go Mavericks!

Seriously the worst college I’ve ever attended. The advisors are THE WORST, especially in the nursing specialty. They will tell you things that aren’t true and then you end up not being accepted into the nursing program after going to the university for 2 years. It’s unbelievable how much money has gone into this school and they give no exceptions. The teachers are all shit and don’t care about the students passing, they’d honestly rather have you fail and have to retake it again. Don’t waste your... Read More time here seriously, Texas women’s university is 10x better than this place, hell a community college is better than this place. It’s like they want money so bad they won’t tell you the truth about anything just to get you to keep spending money. Ridiculous

UTA Nursing program is a great program to consider. The school is very considerate of working moms and offers flexibility in how you can obtain your degree. You can opt for on-campus learning or on-line learning. You also have access to counselors that help keep you motivated and accountable. I actually had not registered for my courses. I had a counselor call me and tell me to log on right now so we can get you registered. I appreciated that because by registering, that began the final stretch I... Read More needed to complete my BSN. The only thing about the program I would change is all of the research papers required. I don't think this is specific to UTA, but rather, all nursing programs. I would like less papers and more clinical experiences and options.

I am here to tell you be careful if you were on academic suspension from a different college. You will have to sign and agree to not withdraw , cannot have F or D or below a 2.0. so basically even if you did the right thing you will be punished. Dismissal is what will happen. It's something I wish I had known before spendings 100s of dollars here. Another thing is that you will not get the right help from financial aid, because most of them are below the age of 20, and really don't give you good... Read More advice If you planning on coming to this university be prepared to be in financial debt, and spending money on parking ,about 3.75 an hour in the garage. Most of the students are uptight because it's UTA and not all of them are. You will end up graduating with a history or music degree just to finish there. The atmosphere is great and all but I guarantee you ,money speaks greatly there. I am currently at tcc and discovered other Texas have alot of courses from tcc that can greatly reduce your time at a university. Some are UNT,TWU, Wellesley, and more. Add a note, that's why they accept alot students it's because of money,money money ......

Do an extensive research before you rush into enrolling for their AOBSN for"15 months" . this is the length just of their nursing program before that you will need another 70 credit hours. The advisers will NOT tell you all the truth about being accepted in the program. Many people with great GPA stay on a wait list for years, because preference for acceptance is given to people who are employed by the hospitals they work with. This means you might have higher scores and be wait-listed , and somebody...

Do your research before enrolling in the RN to BSN online program. The advertised tuition of 8995 dollars is only for your nursing courses and does not include books or other fees. If you have additional general education courses, it will cost more. I already have a BS from another program. So I figured I wouldn't have too many or if any general education courses to take. Wrong! UTA required me to take the following classes: two Texas history classes, two government classes, one art appreciation... Read More course, one math class , one cultural/language course, two English classes , and one anatomy and physiology class. Note: I had already taken college algebra, art appreciation class, two English course, and two Anatomy and physiology class. These general education requirements added up to 10 additional classes on top of the nursing courses I was required to take to obtain my BSN. My advice is to have UTA evaluate your transfer credits and talk to an academic advisor before you enroll. This way you will have an idea of what courses you need to take. Don't forget to check into how much it will cost you. However, if your not keen on having to take additional general education courses, I suggest you look into another college.

UTA is a great school with a unique atmosphere. Unlike most campuses, UTA is a primarily commuter campus with many students living off campus. This, for me, gave it an atmosphere of immediacy. When a group activity was necessary most people did not waste time in accomplishing their goals. My specific program was university studies, it was necessary for me to earn this degree as I was in a hurry to graduate and I had a lot of random credits from my community college days. The staff at the Universit... Read More College were great and I developed great relationships with those people that I still enjoy today. The benefit of the degree itself was great, while I do not major in any one subject I was able to gain valuable insight into three different areas of study which made my eventual graduate studies much more manageable.

DO NOT attend this school. Do not let them lure you in by the cost of the RN-BSN program. The classes are disorganized, little to no student support for online classes, teachers/professors/coaches do not promptly respond to your needs in order for you to improve your quality of work or your understanding of the class you are enrolled in. There is always a "hold" on your account that keeps you from completing your homework, thus setting you behind and affecting your grade(s). The online books and... Read More other required materials are not user friendly and end up costing you extra. For example, I was told to look to amazon to buy a book, so I did. It turns out that I still had to purchase the book from the library in order to be granted access to a work book. This is not what I expected. I changed to a different University.
