University of Dallas Reviews

"I had high expectations—conservative Catholic business school, what's not to love? And the program is set up in a tight 10-class curriculum that is very doable for online MBA seekers. But the University of Dallas has been a disappointment from the very start. The registration and administration is atrocious (I ended up with six different logons and passwords just to get started), and the advisors forgot about me several times. The class I am taking is horrendous. The professor as imprecise as can be and the whole class is just plain sloppy. That's fine if there is leeway in the grading, but it turns out that you have to be very precise in the quizzes and assignments. Students will do well if they love trick questions and can read the professor's mind. Then, when you challenge the professor in the slightest, he gets offended and tells you to switch teachers (when he should know that it is not possible to do so). Advisors and associate deans are limp-wristed in their attempts to help. This is an institution that has lost hold of the fundamentals of good education, fairness, and a dedication to Truth. And the fact that the administrators don't do anything to support their students is just bad business. Please go elsewhere.Read Less"

"I am attending this school to complete my 2nd Master's degree. There are some important things to note for grad school at this institution. First, the semesters are short. This means you cover more per class and many students feel very rushed by this approach. Second, this is a program for people who want to hit the major points, get the degree, and move on! It is not like the traditional degrees I have sought and received before, where there was much more theory discussion in addition to application. Third, there seems to be lots of comradely between undergraduate students and international graduate students. As a domestic graduate student, I feel disconnected here. The school is good for people who don't necessarily want the traditional school feel and want more current, direct application than future-looking discussion.Read Less"

"The University of Dallas is one of the few remaining institutions where a core curriculum, which bestows a well-rounded education, exists. That being said, any education at any institution is only as valuable as the student allows it to be-- the University of Dallas is a wellspring of opportunity; one simply has to fully engage in the core and own their education."

"The school is really nice. It is located in Dallas city, a tourist city. It has good weather, not too cold in winter and not too hot in summer. The teachers are really nice, friendly and helpful. Its facilities are second to none. It has lots of foreigners. "

"I thought the school was very good, the quality of education was much better than my undergraduate experience. The professors are engaged, and the classes were small in size. I am considering doing PhD work at UD."

"The University of Dallas prides itself on the production of independent thinkers into society. From creators to philanthropist this institution will prepare the student for nearly every walk of life. Like a chef preparing a precise and unique dish, the University of Dallas uses the recipe of top learning along with an outstanding atmosphere to produce the best possible final dish (student) that will impact, educate and contribute to many organizations around the world."

"The University of Dallas is a Catholic Institution of higher learning located in Irving, Texas. It is an AACSB accredited institution with excellent student to lecturer ratio. The lecturers are well trained, and very qualified to teach in their respective disciplines. The various degree programs blend and take into consideration both Practitioners versus Academicians view points. As a result, you are able to quickly apply the classroom knowledge in solving the workplace problems/tasks."

"The university of Dallas will make you think. The core is rigorous but the satisfaction you feel completing it is unexplainable. There is just something in knowing that you have followed in the intellectual footsteps of many great scholars from yesteryear."

"The University of Dallas is an incredible academic, social, and faith-filled community. The core curriculum and the integrity of the academic programs prepared me to apply my liberal arts degree to my career and the real world. The study-abroad Rome program was one of the greatest experiences of my life. I strongly recommend this school."

"UD is heavily focused on academics and while the extracurriculars are important, the principal stance of the school is for students to learn. It will seem that you are overwhelmed with work but the education you receive is top-notch!"

"The psychology program at the University of Dallas is both unorthodox and complimentary to the experimental methodology employed by most public universities. At University of Dallas there is a unique focus on the intentionality of the individual experiencing a meaningful event. While this unique approach may seem detrimental when compared to the quantitative methodology stressed in other institutions, I believe that the University of Dallas provides individuals with a more comprehensive vision of psychology as a whole.Read Less"

"The Psychology program at the University of Dallas is both slightly unorthodox and yet complementary to the strong quantitative practices commonly taught in most institutions. While I believe the strengths of the university lie in its fresh qualitative perspective and a focus on the intentionality of the individual experiencing meaningful events. While this unique approach may seem detrimental when considering a move to the world of professional psychology, I believe the unique perspective gained here in addition to the strict experimental methodology I obtained in undergraduate studies will make for a unique and well rounded skill set.Read Less"

"The pro is the non-traditional approach to theories and classroom time. This program will prepare you for real world experiences. The con (if it even is) is the cost; it can be justified by the end result."

"UD is one of the best Business school in USA. Our professors are great and always closely work with us"

"Our graduate program is structured to afford students within specific concentrations a holistic view and understanding of the world and their disciplines in it. Though some classes are not offered at conducive times for those who work full-time, instructors are accessible and attempt to accommodate whenever it is possible."

"Great schedule for working professionals but technology aspect lacks"

"A major pro of this graduate program is that it is small, so students receive close assistance from faculty members. Students are also able to get to know both faculty members and fellow graduate students well. The curriculum is very challenging, forcing students to grow and learn in leaps and bounds. A major con of this program is that the facilities are somewhat small and crammed. Art graduate students have semi-private studios which are somewhat small, therefore making it difficult to create large, complex work (unless you are a sculptor).Read Less"

"Pros: It's a fully accredited school with world wide recognition. It is fairly priced. It pushes us students to think and work hard. We are taught by lecturers who have experience in the field they teach. Cons: Networking opportunities aren't many"

"The University of Dallas MBA program offers both online and on-campus courses. Being able to take both and not have to stick to one type is definitely a pro, especially for a working professional. I work full-time and am getting my MBA with a concentration in Sports and Entertainment Management. I have taken courses on campus, which I really enjoy, but because of my schedule, the availability of online courses makes it easy to continue the pursuit of my degree without being required to be on campus.Read Less"

"Some of the pros pertaining to my graduate program include my professors possessing real word work experience. This gives me a chance to network with other professionals and could possibly lead to future job opportunities. Some cons include major debt due to the cost of grad school."
