"Recommend to all students for Supply Chain Management study. School should provide more support for students to get internships and jobs that would help a lot for us to rank higher of career support. Faculties are helpful and reachable for academic problems. Safe campus and good studying environment with an affordable living, great place to live and work."

"The program is very flexible and you can tailor it according to your needs. However, it needs to be more focused towards whats trending in the industry right now, rather then what was in the market 5-10 years back."

"UTDallas is a good school, however, it accepted too much China students. China students are usually over 60% in every business class. I would like to meet students from different country, that will be more diversity, and will be have more creative thinking since most of us come from different countries. I really appreciated my advisor and professor, they are full of patient. They always give me a hand when I have questions in homework, and when I am home sick as well. They are not only my professor, but also mentor in life. I love UTD"

"For the pros, the school is very good for its course structure and the career advising. Every professor is very helpful. Beyond teaching, many cultural fest happens almost weekly which makes the campus more lively. The worst part related to the university is the transportation. Its not at all good especially on saturday's and sunday's. About financial assistance, its pretty hard to get sometimes impossible also."

"UTD has a very good reputation and is about to become a tier 1 university. I sent out resume and shortly employers were calling me back. most undergrads either continue in advanced degree or hired shortly after they graduated. However, getting into the school was pretty selective. Must have good High School GPA and good resume."

"Pros: 1. Program requires no weekend classes 2. Classmates are bright and competitive Cons: 1. School makes limited use of technology to support students that miss class due to travel for work 2. Faculty teaching aptitude is hit or miss"

"My graduate program at UT Dallas has several pros and cons. The school in its entirety (undergrad and graduate) embraces underrepresented ethnicities and cultural groups; this is a pro because oftentimes it is easy to become close-minded when constantly surrounded by those with a similar background to yourself. This is especially true in my graduate program, Master's of Applied Cognition and Neuroscience, because it places emphasis on incorporating a diverse student group. Whereas many of my colleagues are fellow Americans, most fellow students are from China, Japan and Middle Eastern areas; this is imperative in attaining a greater knowledge base and respect for differing opinions. The program also integrates all aspects of cognitive science into its teaching system, including psychology, neuroscience, computer science, linguistics and philosophy (which could be viewed either as a pro or con). Some of the professors have a strong computer science background and therefore teach their courses with a mathematical approach, versus some with a philosophical approach. I personally find this as a pro because, again, it aids in the ability to view learning material through a different lensed-perspective. The only con is that sometimes professors are difficult to meet with because of their busy schedules; said schedules are due to their dedication and loyalty to their research, however, again when looking at this through a different point-of-view could also be a pro! In conclusion, the knowledge base and knowledge attained so far from the program is vital is pursuing a prospective career, however it is the cultural appreciation that I most value."

"The University of Texas at Dallas Naveen Jindal School of Management offers a great education at a reasonable price compared to many other institutions around the state and the country. There are social and networking events that take place throughout the semester. Below are some of the pros and cons for UT Dallas: Pros: many great professors case competitions variety of clubs career expos/ professional networking school expansion to better accommodate student needs Cons: lack of financial aid/scholarship for graduate students grossly overpriced books at the on-campus bookstore"

"The pros of my graduate program have yet to be seen, as the program is very young and there are few graduates to talk to. Hopefully, the program will attract new professors as the current faculty is small and needs new perspectives in the field of Arts and Technology."

"The networking and support are not difficult to obtain or find. You do not have to become teacher's pet or turn in a bunch of TA requests. The teachers want to help you in and out of graduate school. Since UTD is a well known college here, many employers love hiring from UTD. Another thing is UTD puts you in classrooms while you're working on your certification (but they don't expect you to start teaching immediately like Teach for America). They just want you to get your foot in the experience door quickly and securely. Future employers are much more interested in an intern whose worked in their schools rather than someone who didn't. The school is a large international/commuter school though so don't expect a crazy social life."

"The graduate program has many classes that will benefit you. However it is hard in my opinion to get accepted into a research lab to gain experience, not many professors have been helpful with that. However the adviser is very friendly and helpful."

"The Pros of this graduate program are: - that the program is nationally ranked as one of the best audiology programs in the country (it's 3rd) -that I am receiving in-state-tuition even though I would not qualify for it based on my location -that everyone I've spoken to at UTD has been so helpful -that I have an audiology peer adviser assigned to me by the program -that I will be graduating with a degree that will allow me to have the greatest job in the world, Audiologist -and finally, that I will get to help people with hearing loss while I'm in grad school and after I graduate with my degree The cons of this graduate program are: -that it is located a great distance away from where I'm currently living. (It's roughly a 10 hour drive) -that I will have to move to a new area (Dallas) and learn my way around a city known for crazy traffic -that despite receiving in state tuition, it is still extremely costly to attend grad school -that I will have to take out $80,000 in student loans -that I will have to work constantly while attending grad school, so that I can start paying off those loans immediately -that the cost of living in Dallas is incredibly high (my rent will double once I move to Dallas even though I will have two roommates) - that I may have a hard time finding a job after graduation"
