"The Walton College Full-Time MBA program puts a high emphasis on real-world practicality. The program has built up rapport with many surrounding corporations, and most students, after gaining experience interviewing with several companies, are placed into an internship. In addition to regular coursework, the MBA program mandates Professional Development credit, which entails seminars on technology, networking, etiquette, dress, etc. I also appreciate the program's focus on diversity, selecting both students and professors from a variety of nationalities, ethnicities, academic backgrounds, and work experience. Students are encouraged to participate in one of several summer study abroad opportunities, which currently visit China, India, or Brazil--all key players in the future of global business. Con-wise, though the program is an excellent value, it is expensive. Students who are awarded internships earn "silver" level status, which entails a semesterly $500 scholarship and in-state tuition--but for in-state students such as myself, this isn't much of an advantage. I would appreciate more financial aid resources from the college."

"Pros: A detailed schedule for graduate student to show what and when we should do certain thing. Many TA and GA opportunities to enrich students' experience in researching or how to be a faculty. Free study items and laptop. Cons: None."

"One of the pros of my graduate program is that it is an extremely great value for the level of education that I am receiving. All of my classmates are competitive and the faculty and staff members are brilliant and helpful. Many of them truly care that you succeed. The workload is tough, but it will be worth it. The only con is the fact that it is located in Arkansas."

"I love everything about the University of Arkansas School of Law! The professors are knowledgeable and go out of their way to help students, the administration is attentive, and the curriculum is rigorous but fair. I believe that, with my hard work, this school will provide me with the tools I need to become a success in today's competitive legal market."

"It is a beautiful community with several different activities available for students to do, however you must pay for parking almost everywhere. It is rather hilly as well. There are buses that run everywhere in the city and have very helpful and friendly drivers that are willing to help if a person has any questions. Because of these bus route living further away from campus is an option and in turn spending less money on housing. I just started my program, but I have heard the work is tough and very time consuming. They have a 100% graduate rate and employment after graduation. My program only offers two GA positions compared to my undergrad program which offered roughly 6 or more. There are mostly female in my program, but there are at least a third of us from out of state and everyone is welcoming."

"Great faculty and staff who actually remember your name and care, small-ish class size, and while it's competitive, it isn't something you feel and are constantly aware of. Also, there are solid athletic programs and a good party culture for when you want to unwind. The largest cons are the horrible parking, having to deal with a separate financial aid and scholarship office that deals with the entire university rather than just the law school, and the fact that Fayetteville can be kind of boring some times."

"I enjoy my graduate program, but my specific department is very small. I think I would enjoy it more if there were more grad students in the program to interact with."

"My graduate program gives you great feedback from the administration including the professors. My program does require many hours of hard-work so it is a challenging one too."

"The University is great, but there aren't many teachers here who focus on Asian studies or Japanese literature, art and history. The teachers that do are simply amazing and I love working with them. They are the reason I chose this school for graduate school rather than go somewhere that has more course options. The work load is strenuous, but the teachers are understanding and always willing to help."

"The faculty is great. Very knowledgeable and some of the best in their field. They expect their students to work hard and become proficient in every aspect of what they do. Whether it is just writing lab reports to performing full on exercise tests. The program is set up in a way to further your knowledge in your desired field. Each class relates/builds off of previous ones. The campus atmosphere is great. You become a true Razorback fan while you're here."
