University of the Incarnate Word Reviews

"The Feik School of Pharmacy is a great opportunity to gain a rewarding career in pharmacy. The educational system at University of Incarnate Word is exceptional."

"I feel the pros of the graduate program is that it is teaching me to be a sustainable learner and practice emergent techniques in working through academic, systemic, and organizational changes. The professor have a wealth of experience in the Organizational Development industry. The cons in the program is that we met as a class once a week. If the program or many programs choose to go with Mini-semesters, than a logical approach would be to include two three hour courses a week as opposed to one four course."

"Incarnate Word is a great school with diversity that keeps its mission and core values. The school is located in San Antonio, so there is great opportunities to network and have a social life. The con is the cost of the school"

"This program costs a lot to attend, but the cost is worth it for the value and level of education you receive."

"Self directed learning is an adjustement but the case studies and technology is very useful."

"Quality education is a definite pro for UIW. The quality education exceeds employer expectations. The professionalism and support is like no other. The only con is running out of financial aid, which is not the schools fault."

"The graduate program at UIW is non competitive in the sense that most everyone knows each other. Most every one has attended UIW as an undergrad and already knows everyone who worked through undergrad with them. The professors are knowledgeable and most are willing to help their students however possible. The only con I can think of is the condition of the building and its furniture. While other departments have updated furniture and new paint, the communications department seems not to have as much funding."

"Pros would be the fact that this program is a problem based learning program. We learn by actually doing the work and applying skills learned. There are not a lot of lectures and power point classes that are boring. Cons would be the fact that the program is young and not well known yet. Hopefully in the future the programs credibility will be high and create ample job offers."

"I love my Graduate program because it has afforded me the opportunity to have Professors from different parts of the world. I value the diversity that is displayed through instruction and is represented in the faculty. Another pro is the campus is continually improving to meet the demands of today's students. There are multiple satellite campuses added to the main campus to insure the City of San Antonio has convenient access to UIW. The tuition is a bit on the expensive side as the cost of living has risen. The parking at the main campus location is dreadful and very hard to navigate, especially in the busy main streets. Finally the online classes are mediocre at best in the way technology is integrated with the class. Some examples of it would include lack of Web 2.0 use. Theses are some of my Pros and Cons of The University of Incarnate Word."

"I come from the ADCap Program and the faculty and staff have always been very supportive."
